Taken care of

I feel I need to share with you what happened to me and my family this past week and weekend. As you may or may not know my husband currently works 2.5 hours away and comes home only on the weekends. Then every 6 weeks he is on call and cannot come home at all. The week before last he was on call and before that was only home a couple of days. It's hard. It's hard on me and my children.
So last week he took the whole week off through Monday the 5th. We were so excited to have him home more. Thursday through Monday he didn't have any work at all so we wanted to go somewhere, do something as a family. Wednesday night I didn't feel good about going anywhere too far from home. It was a strange feeling. Why would I want to stay close to home and not go somewhere and make memories with my husband and children? It was hard and frustrating telling my husband that I didn't think we should go anywhere, just do day trips but sleep at home. After all was said and done that is what we did. So we set out on Thursday for our first day trip. We went to some Lakes do swim and do some fishing. My health has been really good lately so when I had an attack in the car on the way there I was shocked. It wasn't one of my worst ones. I was able to stay at the lake for a couple of hours. Then it was home to recover. Friday morning I felt good enough to go and do another trip. But my daughter woke up very sick and I took her to the doctor. We came home with medication. So we decided that my husband would go with the boys and my dad 4 wheeling for the day. Then a couple hours later, before they left, my youngest got sick too, more medication. So my husband took our oldest son with Grandpa, while I stayed home with the two sick littles. Saturday came and I was feeling good and so was my little boy. My daughter was still not feeling well so she went to my mom's house while I went with my husband and the boys 4 wheeling for the day. Sunday my oldest go the sick bug and even more medication. Monday my husband took my daughter and youngest son to a parade while I was home with our oldest. By that afternoon he was feeling better and we went, this time all of us, to my parents to swim and do fireworks.
It was a crazy extended weekend with all of that going on. I didn't remember until today about the bad feelings I had last Wednesday and I was so thankful. Thankful that Heavenly Father was there warning me, taking care of me and my family, knowing what was going to happen. If we would have gone somewhere to stay over night it would have been so hard and awful! And the best part is all three of my kids only remember the fun they had with their dad.
