Divine intervention

So here is proof that our God is sovereign. I have been working a lot lately. Many of my scheduled days have fallen on weekends. This leaves my poor sweet husband alone with BOTH kids all weekend long. I can only imagine what he must be going through. He goes out of town occasionally and leaves me with the kids but the difference is: #1-I am Mom and #2-Logan goes to school during the weekdays. He is DAD and he has them on weekends when there is no school which amounts to no relief! He's been a pretty good sport so far (a paycheck makes any sacrifice a little more comfortable)! 
Last Thursday, Will traveled to Troy to visit some family. Meghan, who should be Nanny 911, volunteered to come home with Will for a few days to spend some time with Logan and Addelyn. This was great for us because Will got some relief and I didn't have to worry about everyone being stressed out. Well, on Thursday, Logan and Addelyn were sick. Addelyn has been coughing, congested, febrile and irritable. On Friday, I woke up to two very sick kids. Addelyn was miserable and Logan vomited! Will would take Addelyn to the doctor while Meghan stayed with Logan and I went to work. I felt terrible going to work and leaving my two sick kids and my poor husband to care for them! However, Meggie was with us and she is always happy to pitch in! 
Will and I got to sleep all night, UNINTERRUPTED, for two nights in a row!! Meghan would get up and tend to Addelyn at night and we slept!! Had she not been there, I would have had to call in to work and that would not look good since I have a new position and a new obligation. As a nurse, you can call in and know there are replacements for you. As a practitioner, there is no one else to call. I can't call in. 
So, God was definitely in control of this situation and I am so thankful!
