oh man...I hate those days. I also had one of those days but because I was sick and in the house with ny daughter ALL day long..sorry your day was so rough:(
good piece of writing there, E. I specially love the part about sharp elbows and knees. So true, when you're already pissed it's like they try to hurt you with their bodies. Hope tomorrow is better. :) Though that end part sounded pretty good.
I can totally relate to that. I feel like a freaking jungle gym most of the time. Pullin' and tuggin'. And I did read "Fox and Sox" as fast as humanly possible last night. I too have days like that.
I was begging and pleading with Josho to clean his room the other day. I mean, it went on for hours...finally I lost it and yelled, "you're almost finished, just get it done!!" To which he replied "Does that mean you're almost happy?" sigh. I felt SO bad.
Oh honey I'm there now :( HUGE Hugs! I am sure you will scrap this, right? I saw yesterday on your blog that you were having a bad week....now I'm worried about you! Hope you are okay! M
how do you get inside my head E? It's kinda spooky...you must come in there when I'm sleeping or something and take my thoughts away. Thinking of you sweetie. =)
um, yea...been there one too many days! that part about the too short arms wrapping around you really got me...so, so true...i love that feeling :) hope today's a better day.
YES! you wrote is so damn perfectly E. I have these days. too often. And it just about makes me want to cry when E pops out a "but I love you mommy", or "are you still mad at me?".
Yep. Add me to the "I can relate" list. Some days I just feel so suffocated and don't even want to be in my own skin. I love the words you wrote. Hope you're doing better! ;)
i love you. you made me cry. love this so much. i have so many of those days... but you're right-- that snuggle and those words are all worth it. i owe you an email. (hope today is better)
Looking forward to those days...not the bad parts, but the "Love you Mom" parts...at the same time, taking in all the peace and quiet in our house, knowing full well it will never be the same.
Hang in there, E! You're not alone ... we have many days like that in our house. Nothing like hearing your little one say, "Mommy, I don't want to see your mad face any more". Oh, the guilt.
That seriously, has to be one of the best things I've ever read. Part of me is sad that I wasn't the one to write it. But the other part of me is just happy that it is out there for all to see.
Love your words here! Sorry you had a hard day! As I read, it touched me cause that's the same day I've been having. Sometimes I just wanna scream! LOL! Hope your having a better day! :)
Wow, amaaaazing writing Erica, wow!!! So descriptive, so PERFECT!!! Sorry to hear your day went like that, but glad it ended on a sweet note!! I know these feelings well - and your last sentence... wow... describes that amazing feeling PERFECTLY!
