I've had a very rough week with regard to parenting. Very rough. After I dropped Nolan off at school this morning Avrie and I (and Cole) went to the mall to use up some store credit. It didn't go well. I fought back tears the whole morning. When we pick up Nolan, this is what he immediately gives me:
So I cried in front of all his friends. He didn't care.

awww, how sweet. they can be so frustrating, but it seems like they can sense when we're at our breaking point. hope you can get a nap this afternoon.
Awww, I wish I could give you a big hug! Don't kids always have a way of making you melt...even when they're the ones who've brought you to the point of (almost) no return?
ah, aren't kids so sweet. they seem to always know when you need a little "pick-me-up"
i was having just that kind of morning today..watching alans boys.
i actually sat down and put my hands on my cheeks elbows on thighs. and tears started to run..really woke up the boys..they treated me like a lady gma..so while i sniffed. we folded socks from the laundry..
shannon that lil love note will be a first of many many to come your way.. enjoy
Sorry you've had a tough week! I well remember those days when the kids were little like yours. Some days I would just about meet Bruce on the highway on his way home from work:) Glad for little reminders like Nolan's love letter that make the tough days a little easier!
sweet..i hope you feel less overwhelmed soon.
Shopping with a two year old and a newborn will always be a challenge.
Hang in there.
So sorry you had such a rough day. I'm glad Nolan came through for you, though. What a sweetheart. Hugs.
i love your pretty page! i wish i were nearby so i could help in some way..i would love to take care of your kids for a few hours!! then you could have a "sanity" break! it's ok to cry in front of the kids..then they don't feel like their the only ones with overwhelming feelings! hugs!
