Do you ever have moments where you just realize how lucky you are? I just did. A crummy stomach bug has been running rampant through my household for the past 24 hours, hitting Taylee, Bryns, and me. I had to cancel a play-date today with my younger sister and her son since this bug is something I definitely don't want to share.
Well, just a little while ago there was a knock on my door. My first thought was "You've got to be kidding me" since I don't have my hair done and am still wearing my make-up from yesterday. I hurried to rub the mascara smear from around my eyes and tried to convince the girls to stay back in the bedroom since they don't have their hair done either. They're too fast though and got to the door ahead of me.
As I open the door, I'm hoping that it is a package from UPS or something so that no one will witness what a mess we look like, but it wasn't. The sister that I had canceled the play date with was standing on my porch grinning at my shocked expression and holding two grocery bags filled with saltine crackers, sprite, soup, and toys for Taylee and Brynlee.
I feel very blessed that I have such a wonderful sister who would take the time out of her day to drive to Idaho Falls with "sick food" for me and my kids. I love knowing that any of my sisters would have done the same thing. You guys are awesome and always set a great example for me! Love ya!

So sweet! It makes me also wish that my sister was closer! What a blessing! Hope you are all feeling better!
That flu bug stinks! I'm glad you guys are doing better. You know you would have done the same thing! How did those twinkies taste? :-)
Isn't it great to feel loved? There is nothing like the bond you have with a sister.
