Thankful Thursday: Two things

First off, I was such a grumpy mama yesterday. I had a terrible stomachache and I felt feverish. The kids were being kids, but I must have snapped many, many times over trivial matters. I finally had to explain that I didn't feel too good and asked Koko, my oldest for forgiveness. She answered, "I forgive you. Like Yoseph."

"Like Yoseph? Oh, you mean, Joseph." Yoseph is Joseph in Korean.

"Yes, Joseph forgave his mean brothers."

My Darling, please forgive this mean mommy.

Second, we had a near tragedy yesterday. I was washing dishes. Koko and Cheeky were running wildly back and forth in the hallway. Then Koko started to put on her dress for Awana. This gal loves dresses. Well, she only likes two dresses. But I digress... Suddenly, she ran to the kitchen in only her stockings and started bawling, "I want to see Cheeky but she's gone! She must have gone outside. Cheeky's disappeared."

I calmly and swiftly checked the rooms, checking for places where she might have hid or even fallen asleep. Suddenly, I recalled how a mother I had met recently had shared how her son had died in their own home. The television set had fallen on him and he had died instantaneously. I couldn't find my little girl. I started panicking and yelled her name all over the house. She wasn't in any of the rooms. It was not like her to be separated from her sister. They're always together.

Koko was now sobbing hard. I was about to check all the rooms again when from the corner of my eye, I see Cheeky gamely crawl out from behind the sofa with a big grin. Peek-a-boo. There was a sweet hug between the two sisters--one still only in her stockings.

For the record, I did check behind the sofa. Only it was across from the one she had hid from! This is the first time Cheeky gave us such a scare and I hope it's the last! Later the night, Koko patted my stomach and I anticipated another comment on how I have a big belly (no baby yet) but no. She asked if my stomach was feeling better.

So, what's been the highlight of your week?
