meant to be...for me

it's 3am and i'm up with liam who is sick :( he has a bad croupy cough that made him puke.....a lot. i sat in the bathroom with him rocking with the hot shower on and the steam stopped the coughing. now i have the humidifier going and got some advil down him for his fever. this is hard, having a sick kid, and worrying about them in the middle of the night. this is the stuff that counts, ya know. when a little one is up in the middle of the night sick as hell, it's those who are there for the that mean the most. to me anyway. so tonight i give myself a mommy pat on the back and remind myself this is what i was put on this earth to do.......be a mom
