As a mother of 4 one would think i know a lot about being a parent, but the fact of the matter is i am still learning, and will continue to learn every day as my children grow older.
In the past week i have learned no matter how sick you are, your children come 1st and formost in your life, I may have been on my last leg this week finally giving in and going to the ER and getting a shot for pain and some meds to deal with my own illness i have gotten from the rude fuckers who came to my house sick.
Tonight i learned a valuable lesson
when it comes to Kenedi our 6 month old daughter
When she hurts, when she is sick, when she is clogged up. I feel her pain.
Although i cannot relive the sickness itself, i can Aleviate the symtpoms she is going through.
I sat in the livingroom with her on the couch in front of me, with 3 different kinds of medicine, as i cursed my aunt while my daughter lay in front of me crying to the point of almost losing her small fragile voice. Dropper after dropper of bad tasting medicine i forced it down her, feeling so guilt ridden in the process but knowing it was for her own good, 3 more days i keep telling her 3 more days and we will be done with this nasty stuff.
as i cleaned her up, stuck a bulb syringe up her nose, and cleaned her up again, changing her diaper, her cries soon faded, I picked up my small child and i kissed her gently as the cries were gone and here was my happy girl, Able to breath, and suck a paciier at the same time.
I was relieved and pissed all in the same moment, seeing how we wouldnt be going through any of this if the aunt and her snot nosed brats had not come over here in the 1st place.
Like i said i learn something new everyday when it comes to all 4 of my kids, even through the week having to take one of my 8 yr old twins to the ER to get staples in his head.
I learned that kids are resilant most of the time, and will most always bounce back, he was out on the field cheering his team on saturday nite at their football game because he cant play with a hole in his head.
But he still suited up and was out on that sideline being the exceptional kid he always is.
Sometimes i think we as adult could take a lesson in life from kids, Just keep bouncing back, if you fall down ... dust off your ass and do it again till you get it right.
