Today was another day of being home bound with my children. This is going to be a very long 10 days for us. Ian is recuperating on the couch from his tonsil and adenoid operation. We are only on day 4...yet it seems like an eternity for all of us. Ian is tired of laying and sitting on the couch, in fact if he had his way...there would be no couch only a trampoline in its place. I have to remind him time and time again that he isn't allowed to jump, run or shout for the next ten days. I really really wish he would stop jumping on the couch! I have to also remind him...that he is hurting at night, because he is trying to do too much during the day and he needs to learn to listen to his body. "What does this mean mom?" I have told him...that ache that you feel in your throat means you should stop talking for a while. Your head hurting means that you should lay down and take it easy. "Oh mom, i am bored." Ian you cant be bored! If you are bored it is going to be a LONG 10 days. Help us all!!!! Please help us. :)
Sashi was really cute today. I allowed her to take a bubble bath and she was so happy that she kicked her clothes off with delight and squealed down the hall to the bath room. She then proceeded to sing to the bubbles in the tub. "OH BUBBLES YOU ARE SO SHINY...OH BUBBLES YOU ARE SO SOFT...OH BUBBLES YOU LOVE ME!" Then she would giggle and start singing "BUBBLES ARE MY FRIEND...BUBBLES ARE SWEET....BUBBLES..LIKE...TO....POP! She is giggling again. I didn't tape it, like i should have, but golly...it was cute!!
I love having children even though i think they are aging me. I guess all the gray hair i have...i have earned. All the rings under my eyes are evidence that i have endured long sleepless nights. I do think all my wrinkles are from my husband *wink* My family is making me old, but i couldn't live without them.

Sashi's song is quite cute. I'm so sorry that Ian is doing so well - if he were sicker, you wouldn't have to fight so hard. Maybe I need to stop praying for his quick recovery and pray that he feels bad enough to stay down for 10 days and then on day 11 he can, miraculously, be healed!
As to your family aging you, I hear you sister. I was struck with the irony of God. We are supposed to be reverent during the sacrament, to meditate on the atonement, Jesus in our life and how we can dedicate ourselves to Him anew. We are also supposed to have children and take them to church. At what age do the two become compatible because, sister, we are so not there yet!
