Motherhood

Two days before our trip to Washington, our first little get away as a couple, with grandma and grandpa taking care of our little boy for a weekend. and of course Joseph decided that now it was his turn to have a cold. So in between trying to get my cough down, get suits and dresses clean, I am trying to apply suction to a little nose attached to the most wriggly boy this side of the moon. Who is currently very unhappy with me for some reason. He wants to go outside to play, but it is way too cold to do so until the afternoon. So he is just a cranky little fellow today, his chin dripping with saliva and his nose running like a faucet. And I feel my heart tug at the idea of leaving him behind. Ahhh... motherhood. It's not for the faint of heart.
