Sick Kids

Today was spent with me staying home with 2 sick kids, while my wife headed off to work. It was a complete role reversal when compared to life over the last 14 years. Normally I'm the one whom always goes to work. It was a little odd, but we got through it alright. I guess tag team "home bodies" are how it's done, when both parents are working- you just take turns calling in sick, in order to care for the children.

About 7 (may be less, but felt like more) loads of laundry later, I could see the laundry room floor and my wife was coming home from work. I turn around and more clothes come out of the kids' rooms. Ugh. It never ends! No matter what, there's always more laundry... It's kind of an odd parallel, but there's no end to our Lord's love, either! I'm so grateful for that fact!
