Awesome Boys

Mostly this post is a big, fat thank you to the Best Boys in the World.  Since I had a horrible, horrible flare up of the trigeminal neuralgia, which started Thursday night, Steve and Wm have been amazing.  I was left pretty much unable to eat, sleep, think, or function, so the entire workings of the household fell on them.  Wm helped carry the laundry, folded and put away his own clothes, washed the cars (both of them!), got his own snacks/drinks, pretty much entertained himself, brought me things I needed, and, sweetest of all, came over and said, "would it help relax you if I read the BFG to you, Mommy?" Then proceeded to read until his throat hurt, stopped for a bit to "rest it" and came back to continue reading - 4 times.  He was the King of Snuggles and was always careful to kiss my cheek very softly!

And poor Steve had to do just about everything.  From 100% of the cooking and cleaning, grocery shopping, and Wm care & maintenance to taking amazing care of me (when I wanted a croissant form Panera and a strawberry drink from Starbucks, Steve didn't even bat an eye!) Steve was a machine. There is not a better husband in all of the world.  I don't know what I did to get so lucky!

I started to feel a bit better yesterday evening and I think the pain is finally ebbing.  And, looking back, though I wouldn't wish that sort of pain on my worst enemy, I am thankful for the opportunity to appreciate what an amazing family I have.  My two boys are the best people in the whole world.  They are also the cutest...

Watching some fishing show - yeahhhhh.

And a super big thank you to everyone who called or checked in to see how I was doing or if I needed anything.  It meant so much to me to know that so many people care!!!  THANK YOU!!!

I go to the neurologist on Aug 22 and hopefully get some tactics to deal with this nasty business!
