Lboy woke up at 2:00 am the night before last with a slight fever, a runny nose, & a ton of irritability (don’t blame him.) Which also means that Todd & I were up at 2:00 am as well & we were one big unhappy happy family until 6:00 am. So we were up all night with a sick kiddo.
Yesterday honestly wasn’t so bad, but today I’m definitely feeling it. Fortunately, little kiddo is feeling better, no fever, still the runny nose, but he slept 12 hours last night. I usually write my posts for the next day after he goes to bed, but last night, when he went to bed I went to bed.
(I’m typing this as fast as I can while my boss, master, facist dictator Lboy is actually happy.)
I want to use today’s post to THANK a few people for giving me awards!
First up is “A Blog with Substance” award. This one came from Dee @ I’m Free2bMommy & from Tennessee Mom @ Days on the Creek. These two women definitely deserved this award when it was given to them & I’m flattered they passed it on to me. I’m also supposed to describe my blogging philosophy in 5 words: Be honest when you write. And the award goes to:1. Liz @ A Belle, a Bean & a Chicago Dog
2. Maureen @ Tatter scoops
3. Natalie @ Mommy of a Monster
4. Allyson @ The MVPs of Mesa Town
5. Laura @ Melodramamma
The second award is the “Beautiful Blogger” award from HRH Mommy @ M for Mommie. She has two adorable kiddos & writes some really great stuff over at her place! Go check her out! She passed this on to 5 people & so will I!
OMG, you're so nice to send that my way. Seriously – if that ain't worthy of a big ol' 'mothering' trophy, I don't know what is! THANK YOU!! And hope everyone catches up on sleep. There are many nights I go to bed w/ the big kid.
You totally deserve it. Guess what…you overlooked another award: cherry on top on top / blog design award. Love your design, so neat.
Hope you're day only gets better, but I am there with you on the sick kiddo. We've had 2 days with a sick toddler. Oh the joys of mommyhood!!
Congrats on the awards you deserve them! I hope your little one feels better soon!
I think it's great that you used the word "honest" in your 5 words. Congratulations to you and THANKS for putting the word "substance" with me. 🙂
Ugh! Those are the nights I dread. Hope he keeps sleeping for you & congrats on those awards!
Kate- hope your little guy is feeling better… and stays better. I hate those sleepless nights.
Congrats on your two awards. Your blog is growing… and growing! So happy for you!
And thank you for giving me a Beautiful Blogger award! I'm an award virgin in the blogging world- so thank you!

Congrats on your awards!
I'm glad your little one is feeling better. It's no fun when our kids are sick…
Congrats on your awards, from what I've read of your posts in the short time since I discovered you, they are well deserved. Hope the little one is feeling better. I tend to do my blogging after I get my 2 little boys settled at night…ah the quietness!!!
Thanks for the award Kate!! 🙂
