So, Charlie there's a little phrase that I like to use that takes some maturity to understand. Most people in the world actually can't understand it but that is a discussion for another day.
It is "consequences be damned!" It came from a very funny moment in my life that is for another time also. But what you need to know is this-- sometimes, the moment is more special than what might happen from it.
We are moving to Arizona in two weeks from now, we still have several days of work, lots of packing to do, a few events scheduled, daddy just got his wisdom teeth out and we don't have enough money to cover our new budget unless we also find your dad a job very soon. So, quite basically-- we are maxed out in every way.
But all this is no concern for our little boys, because you are little boys!
Jack, you have been sick with a fever and cough for a few days and now Charlie you have had a fever the last few days as well, cough to arrive soon.
This morning, I woke up to you Charlie (a complete and utter snuggle bug of love) climbing up into my bed with a very hot body and pink cheeks. You were talking up a storm and saying things like, " I love you mama. I fink I'm going to just snuggle wiff you and snuggle wiff my puppy." I have a zit on my chin and you said, " I will kiss that owie to make it all better. There mama-- now it will dit better! Yay! I did it!"
You grabbed my hands and wrapped them around you and grabbed my face and pulled it right up to your face. Our faces were right up next to each other and you looked me right in the eye with your soft morning face and messed up hair. And you looked at me, breathed a big breath of fever and head cold right at me and sighed, "I love you mama, we're snuddlin'."
Consequences be damned.
