At the end of the day…

2010
02.12

…. when every last shred of patience has left me. When there is a sink full of dirty dishes. When there are crumbs on the floor from the meals of the day. When there is a dryer full of clothes to fold. When two little boys have spent the majority of the last half hour crying. When I haven’t had a shower. When my stomach hurts. When I wonder how I will EVER cope once “homeschooling” starts as I can’t seem to get on top of things NOW! When it’s just been “one of those days” at least for the last few hours (they’re what count, right?) It’s nice to have a little boy who though he was acting like a hoodlum only minutes before, will see you lie on the couch and come give you a kiss and “Sing Sunshine” to you. :-) It went like this “You are sunshine, you are sunshine, I love you, sunshine away.” Then he proceeded to hum a verse for me too. ;-) I usually sing it twice to him and then hum through once as he is settling in for the night. So sweet! Then he walked into the dining room, saw the yet uncleaned up table and came back to say, “Thank you lunch, Mommy.” Heart meltage right there! :-D Ahhhh… guess the day hasn’t been so bad after all.

Of course… there’s still bed time. (dum-de-dum-dum!) ;-)

    That is SO sweet!! It made me smile, sharing your lovey boy’s moment. :) Nice to see how even though kiddies can make mountains out of molehills, they can also be so appreciative of the littlest things. I know it makes me just want to smooch and hug my baby boy when he has those spur of the moment, sweet considerate moments.

    Oh, heart meltage is right! That is the sweetest thing ever. And yes, I can totally relate to what you are saying here. lol. I often wonder if Homeschooling is going to actually work, also. :) You are such a good mom, Rach. Keep up the good work!

    Love,
    Sarah

    Aww… this makes me want to smile and cry all at the same time! I understand those type of days – actually had one yesterday! But our kids always have a way of reminding us what’s important! Hope tomorrow is better!

    p.s. Oh, I think the SAME THING about the homeschooling thing – except we are starting K4 in September – as in September 2010 – as in less than 8 months from now!!! AHAHAHAHAHAH! I really need to get more organized!!!
