It Takes A Village To Raise A Child

This week was tough, Jocelyn had her first cold but being the sweetheart she is you wouldn't have known it by her temperment! She was happy go lucky all the time and even went to work with my for two days and I was able to get all my stuff done with her there. It helps that I have AMAZING coworkers and a great boss that willing take her off my hands when they have a few moments!

Watching ELMO with Amy!

Unfortunetly Jocelyn passed on her cooties to Jonathan and I and as a family we all got sick! To top it off, Jonathan is doing his two weeks with the Coast Guard and had to stay overnight at the Station for most of the week. Being a full time working mom, sick, with my husband away and a sick baby made for a tough week, but I made it through with a simple remedy . . . FRIENDS! Bringing me limeades from Sonic (my favorite), offering to pick stuff up at the store for me, offering to watch Jocelyn for me, actually watching Jocelyn for me while I was at work, offering to bring me dinner, watching Jocelyn for me while I napped or showered and just offering me endless support and help when I needed it the most!

This week I learned that the old African Proverb is so true, it does take a village to raise a child, and luckily my village is full of amazing women with giving hearts!
