My 2 Sweet Men

Today was tough, but I had 2 very sweet men that made it extra smooth...

My B-bo was super sick today...103 fever at its highest.  Anyway, Vince was the one this morning to notice Bella being warmer than usual.  I noticed her pink cheeks, but for some reason it didn't register immediately.  From now on, I need to remember that if Bella's cheeks are hot pink that one of 2 things is going on... Either she has been running around in the snow and her cheeks are flushed, or she has a fever...This has been a tell tale sign since she was a baby.  We all know though that I am not at the top of my game in the morning, but thank God for Vinny!  Mad props to my spouse for being the parent I couldn't be this morning :)  He brought to my attention how hot our kiddo was, which prompted a temperature reading, and that confirmed the fever... Poor Mooga Bear!  So V went to work, and I assumed my role as kiddo nurse effective immediately.

Well, I knew I needed to make a run to the Target for more medicine for Bella, so around 10:30, I got the 2 of us dressed and ready to go.  I went out to start my car to warm it up before leaving only to discover that I had a dead battery.  With a little investigation, I realized my trunk was open and it has a light in it which would explain the drained battery... I called Vince with the news, and he said he had been thinking about his girls all day and contemplating coming home, so this was just confirmation that he needed to take a half day.  After his noon meeting, he stopped at the store for the few things we needed and then headed home to help his little girl feel better.

Now to talk about the 2nd sweet man.   All morning long, Bella mentioned at least 5 times the desire for Pap Pap's french toast.  I told her the best I could do would be to call him and put in a request, which I did... Around 11:45, Pap Pap returned our call responding with an absolute YES to french toast for his sick little grand daughter, and he even brought over a charger for my car battery.  I LOVE that man.  He is not a replacement for my own Father by any means, but he is my second Dad, and he loves me like I was his daughter.  I know that my Dad is smiling in Heaven because he knows that I am being taken care of by both my husband and my father-in-law.

I am very blessed...
