Sweet babies....sigh...

Today I had the worst headache in the history of headachekind. It was one of the kinds that feels like you're being jabbed in the eyes with toothbrushes while being repeatedly whacked on the back of the head with a tire iron. It was fantastic.

So, where do the "sweet babies" come in? Right....

I'm in bed, all curled up, and Benjamin hops in the bed with me. He says, "Mommy, I came in here to pray for you. Let's pray. Dear Jesus, please make Mommy's headache go away and not hurt any more RIGHT THIS SECOND. Amen. Ok, bye." Then he hops down and goes back in the front room with Kevin. See! Sweet, huh?

Then Olivia had a change of personality this evening. Kevin had taken Benjamin and Amara to Lab-X at church and I stayed home with Olivia. We had all the blinds closed (lest the sunlight make my brains explode through my eyes), the lights off, and were cuddled up in my recliner. Now, the odd this about this is that Olivia is NOT, in any way, the cuddly type of baby. She's one of the "Oh oh, wait, I think you're touching me! NO NO NO!" types. Well, we sat in that recliner, cuddled up, watching Cherub Wings for 35 minutes. She even nuzzled down into my chest and stayed that way.

I'd love to say the headache was worth all of that...because it sure was special...but, did I mention the toothbrushes and tire iron?

.....Nah, it was worth it!!
