my good friday

I sure wish I could tell you that Good Friday brought
a much-needed spiritual awakening in me.

Deep things.

Even...semi-deep spiritual things.

But no.

Our day started early with Brenden getting his wisdom
teeth removed.

Which was quickly followed by this...


Though unable to talk, he was far from unable
to communicate.

And if you are having a hard time reading exactly what's there,
let me help you.

"When I tap cup, get Mom."
Which was his instructions to Lucy.
Like she could even be able to fully read and comprehend what he wrote.
She's 5.
But his cup-tapping system was his go-to way of
getting my attention.
Throughout the entire day.
Only because I didn't have a bell that he first requested.

Next:

"Could you ask Angela (our friend who is a nurse) if there is an
easier way to take pills while numb."
I just stared at him in pure disbelief.
Seriously?
Did he really think that anyone would have a brilliant solution
to him swallowing his pain pills, other than the traditional way?
Short of me standing on the other side of the room
with a blow-gun, propelling it into his half-open swollen gullet??

Next:
He wanted to know how to correctly spell narcotics.
I was proud that he cared about his spelling.
But who, in their right mind..who is on narcotics,
cares about spelling?

The day continued with other antics.

All the while,
here is what Nick was doing...

He used a half a loaf of bread...
trying to lure the chickens into the house.



Good heavens, people...somebody rescue me.

My daughter swears Pill Glide Swallowing Spray helps her swallow pills. I bought it at Walgreens for about $5 I think. They carry it in grape and strawberry flavors. You just squirt in 2-4 squirts then take meds as usual. Hope he is feeling better soon!

Tell him there is always a needle! They use the back side for that.

I hope the bread was stale...good bread is wasted on chickens.

Are you sure you shouldn't just go along w/ K-man to bring home the boys?

Mandi said...

Okay, I am seriously laughing out loud. Your boys are just too much. Just think, you are about to add two more to the mix. Praying for you...

Hezra said...

Just so you know, I save your blog for Monday mornings, because I hate Monday's and you make me giggle. Or literally laugh out loud. Your guys are SO funny, and again, SO remind me of bigger versions of my older two guys. Swallowing pain pills... hmm, crush and slurp through a straw?? Applesauce? That works for the 6 yr old here. Luring chickens into the house. lol, Elijah is waiting for the chicks to grow here. Why? So he can "chase chickens to my heart's delight." While I love that he uses words like delight, tormenting chickens making him happy?? Not so great. My poor chicks.
Sorry for the big fella's obvious pain. Maybe ice packs tied to his head on either side? and if he resorts to that?? TOTALLY get a picture. lol

Holly said...

giggling uncontrollably. Oh how I needed that. You are one blessed woman! (Mama and wife!)
Thanks for sharing. What a fun fun bunch of kiddos the Lord has blessed you with!
