I just want to start by telling you that I am so sorry I haven’t replied to the comments yet. I swear it’s on my list. I have been working feverishly on CHA and my homework and faces etc. I am now officially done with CHA work. I still have a few more assignments for other things but I promise I will get to all the comments in the next few days. I apologize sincerely and don’t want you think for a moment that I don’t value each and every single comment.
Lest you think the little one is the only one who can pout. The big one comes like this, too.
But he’s quicker to change his mind.
And get silly.
And laugh at himself for being silly.
The little one is saying more and more words, showing more and more interest in things.
He loves looking through books.
And points my finger to things as he talks through them.
It’s hard being a mommy and seeing your kids upset. It’s hard working full time and then being there and being patient. It’s hard trying to teach and then not get frustrated when you get indifference or disinterest. It’s hard to not get caught up. It’s hard to follow your kids’ lead. There are so many challenges every single day. They come right alongside the joys.
Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. I am grateful that CHA work is finished. I am grateful that I will hopefully be going to the show and will for the first time get to see my work in booths. This year, I am blessed to be in four booths. I feel very grateful for all this opportunity.
2. I am grateful for book night. It’s always nice to go out and be with other book lovers.
3. I am grateful that tomorrow is Friday. This week flew by but I still need some downtime. This is my last non-busy weekend. Then I have CHA, visitors, birthdays for the next three weekends so I will enjoy this one.
Three Things David’s Grateful For:
1. I am grateful that I did a snowman page in my book at school {* his pick for the journal}
2. I am grateful that mommy and i did workbooks
3. I am grateful that I played on the phone
Great job on being done with your CHA work! I know that’s a huge relief off your shoulders. 😀
it is it is!!!
Today I kept thinking about how in yesterday’s diary post you mentioned how tiring the crying can be. My little buggar cried a lot yesterday too and it was the pits. And I can get really hard on myself for how quickly my patience runs out with all that crying. But today I kept thinking, “she said it was hard too. It’s hard. See? hard. Go easy on yourself.”
So, three cheers for sharing the hard times! I’m all for it! Totally helpful! Maybe I should share hard times more….
I am so sorry Robyn. It really is so tiring. I think that’s cause it hurts your soul almost as much as your ears so the whole thing drains all the energy out of you. Please do go easy on yourself! I’m all about sharing the hard times and the good times and the boring times in between 🙂
Hi Karen, I’ve left comments, but when you are catching up, SKIP ME! I just enjoy your journey each day, I don’t want to add to your stress. Mostly I just want you to know I’m reading and enjoying your posts. So skip me as far as responses, one more thing off the list! Have a great weekend!
he heee, this deserves its own reply 🙂 thank you! !:)
