Today was tough. Probably one of my worst days as a mother. I probably sound a little dramatic, but man it was tough. Carson was really pushing my buttons. NO to everything- I said black she said white- didn't want to wear anything or have her diaper changed, etc. We just really butt heads today...bad. I was ready to jerk a knot in her. She is typically a sweet and calm child. I'm blaming it on the fact that she turns 2 next week and she must be getting some teeth?! Who knows. Shane did us a favor and spent some time with her tonight and put her to bed. The sunset was amazing so Davis and I sat out on the dock for a good timeout. We really needed this quiet time and I really needed to be with my son. Just him and I. He got the shaft today & I was feeling really guilty. We loved the sunset and he said it looked like the sky had been painted. 5 big hugs and 7 minutes had passed, and then he said, "Mama...can I go inside and play the Wii?" So that's what we did.
We all have those days and isn't it amazing that all it takes is a sunset and some special time to make it alright. Beautiful pictures. I hope tomorrow is a better day. We miss you
ReplyDeletei still can't believe this is your backyard!! how beautiful. sorry to hear miss carson gave you a rough day. i've had several afternoons like that lately...jack wakes up from his nap crabbier than before and refuses everything! and although he's a super sweet and really good baby, sometimes i'm ready for josh to get home and take sam off my hands for a few hours before i have to feed him again. don't give in to the mommy guilt...you're a super star mom; one I truly admire!
