Life has so many interruptions, don’t they? A year ago on New Years Eve, we dealt with our scariest croup moment to date with our Kylan Jack. It made for our first ever ER visit (besides Grayson’s visit just a week earlier due to sticking a round little LEGO up his nose 😂🤦🏼♀️🤷♀️), and a ride in an ambulance after 2 steroid treatments that didn’t work like they wanted. Of course, by the time they got him to the hospital, things had calmed down and we were sent home. 
So it’s no surprise that last evening we did a ginger home remedy for his terrible cough, and now I’m sitting here, on New Years Eve, at 4am, searching remedies for an ear infection so we don’t have to go the ER route. Time can’t go any slower waiting for the Minute Clinic to open, then when you have a 4 year old screaming on and off, thrashing around in your bed. (He’s calm and sleeping at the moment 😉🙏🏼) I have a throbbing headache because I’ve had more interrupted sleep the past couple nights then I have had in a long time! We’re talking high fevers, a cough so bad he was throwing up, and now his ear 😩 P.S. How do you get your child to stop snorting back all his mucus??😖
Despite all of my ‘plans,’ another New Years Eve is going to come and go, with a sick little one to tend to, and a list of things not accomplished heading into a new year, because of life’s interruptions. Life isn’t perfect. Life is a beautiful mess, and I’ll try to embrace these messy moments. This king size bed used to feel SO big, and as we have all 3 boys sleeping in here tonight 😳, the bed feels like it’s shrinking. In reality, these boys are growing. Embrace your messes. Embrace your interruptions. Give yourself grace. Tomorrow’s a new day.
