Carson slept in until 11 (?!?!?!!) this morning. Actually, I should say "slept in" loosely, because he proceeded out to the couch to resume a marginally-improved level of consciousness directly thereafter. He caught the bug Paul and Layla had this weekend. I set up a little TV in the living room and made Layla and Carson a "sick bed" on the couch so they could watch while I tried to clean and do laundry and such. I glanced over and saw them like this and felt an overwhelming sense of Mommyhood. Similar to a few other tender moments (last night tucking a pathetic yet sweet Layla into bed for the night and hearing her say, "day-doo [thank you], mommy" in her scratchy sick voice; this morning hearing a sad, sick Carson inform me, "when I cough, my troat [throat] is hurty," and many others).
None of us is 100% around here, so it's National Lazy Day at the Smarts. Come on by if you fit the bill.

even if i'm not sick can i come over and be on the sick couch and watch tv all day? pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease? but ser cute (?) of your little sickos.
Rats, Brittney, I'm so sorry everyone is sick. At least everyone is sick kind of at the same time so you can get it over with??? I don't know if it's better that way or not. How do YOU feel? Moms are not allowed to get sick. But if you do, CALL ME and I will come get your kiddos for part of the day so you can nap. I'm serious! Sending hugs your way...
sor on the sickness of your crew. hope they get well soon. . . we haven't been sick yet this fall, but i know it's coming. (i'm optimistic, heh)
I hate it when my kids are sick, but sometimes it brings out the sweetness in kids. They are suddenly content to lay there and that never happens any other time, unless in a deep sleep.
Oh Britt...I'm so sorry! It is the worst when your little ones are sick. Here's wishing you a large pot of homemade chicken noodle soup, a homemade loaf of bread, and some brownies. :)
