It's ballet recital weekend. And basketball tournament weekend. And Mike's in LA.
Patrick's been sick all week. I was out very late last night tonight with Mary Beth and came home to find that Karoline had a raging fever. We were up all night. I have absolutely no idea how I am going to make this day work...
Your prayers are much appreciated.
Oh, and I've been fighting mastitis all week. This morning, it looks like the mastitis is winning again.

Covering you in prayer, E!
Spend a few minutes on the phone making arrangements for someone else to drive kids to ballet or basketball tonight.
Go scan your pantry for clear liquids and comfort foods/soup. Set them out on your counter.
Scan your supply of tylenol and motrin.
Grab a huge basket and bring all necessary items to your room and make a nest there to tend to all sick little people. Set a book that is inspiring and happy next to your bedside to read in the small moments between crises and then dig your heels in.
My prayers are coming!

Update: a fierce virus is sweeping through my house. Really, really high fevers. Really sick kids.
Now Sarah has it.
Your prayers are much appreciated.

We will pray hard for your whole family, Elizabeth! I had a breast infection last week...arg, they are so debilitating under normal circumstances! Keep up those fluids and snuggle with the baby as much as you can! Ginger tea all around will help all of you! I am so sorry you are all so run down! I wish I lived close enough to drop off some good chicken soup and anything else you need... I am sending lots of healthy prayers instead! I have a lot to offer up today and I will do so for all of your intentions!...lighting a candle now!

I'm PRAYING Elizabeth, I'll be remembering you and your intentions in my St Anne chaplets.
Funny thing, I quickly put my hands to the keyboard to type this and I put my fingers in the wrong place and wrote 'ora' before I realised..
Ora...pray..
