And so it begins...: Thursday ~ livin the dream

Brent was miserable sicky by Thursday and I am not sure if it was anything more than a severe allergy attack, but it was bad.

He was just leaking everywhere. His nose was dripping yet managed to be clogged. He was hacking up wet balls of mucus and making me nauseated in the process.

I always feel so helpless when any of my guys are sick.

Brent was in good spirits for the most part. He got up and made us some omelets.

He is so precise when cutting all the ingredients I love watching him cook.

When he takes on these more domestic tasks that I usually do he gets very thoughtful. At some point during the day he looked at me and said a very sincere thank you, for everything I do. In general Brent is very thoughtful. He always makes me feel special and cared for, but for some reason this "thank you", really touched me.

I guess it was one of those moments where I felt really seen by him. I could tell if I sat and thought about it too much I would definitely cry. Cry because at times it is very overwhelming being a mother. A mother of 3 boys. Still, you never have time to sit and reflect on how overwhelming it is to keep schedules, guide them, and worry constantly about the way you parent. There are random moments you wonder if you are really damaging your kids by your choices, ya know?

Brent just wanted to let me know that he knows how much I do for them and he more than appreciates it. He knows its not always easy and he thinks he doesn't tell me enough, but he does.

We decided to stay in and just watch movies maybe BBQ that night.

It was nice having a kind of lazy day.

We did have to go to soccer that evening, but in the meantime we were able to snuggle up and relax.

So, there wasn't much to photograph that day until August's soccer game.
