I can't do it all.

I can't be Doctor Mommy, Doctor Wife, Housewife, Gardener all wrapped up in one. I'm sick now, all complete with a cough, congestion, major aches {probably from my gardening exploits}, and yes, even a fever. It got so bad today that we broke down and about ten minutes ago we sent Benjamin off with his grandmommy for the weekend. I've been an emotional wreck ever since we decided to send him off, only because this is the first time we will have been away from our baby boy for so long.

But it is necessary. When he is around me, he wants me to hold him all the time, and I just can't. I don't have the energy, and I get just way too hot. I don't want him to come down with what we have, because frankly it is miserable.

I am sure you will all understand if you don't hear much from me for a while. I think the plans are that Benjamin will be gone until around Sunday afternoon. Hopefully by then we will be all better and able to take him back. If not, he may go on to my parents' house from Hubby's mother's house. That is definitely not ideal. I am ready to have him back pronto!

Keep us in your prayers, please, that we can gain our health quickly and that I won't have too many breakdowns thinking about my baby boy all those miles away!
