Last night I took Patrick to the emergency room because he was struggling to breath because of chest congestion. I left home at midnight and returned at 7:00am. Patrick is ok. We have to keep an eye on him...since he is our foster child, we have fewer options about his treatment...but that is not the point of this post!
So after a long night (or morning) at the ER, I slept. I didn't get up until lunch. The rest of the day I spent hanging out with the family and relaxing. I needed that. October is shaping up to be a busy month and we needed some time to rest.
The bad part about the whole thing is that Friday is supposed to be my day off. It took my children getting sick for me to stay at home. I don't slow down very well. That is something I need more of. Thankfully I was forced into a "day off." The experience was a nice reminder of what slowing down feels like!
