Mudder

It has been a long day of fighting, playing, running around, and existing. There was even that one time where I had to get something done for work and it had to be done right then, but Autumn didn't care.  She asked to sit on my lap and started to turn my chair and yell at me when I didn't pick her up. I got mad and moved her away to finish this very small task, but that did not make her happy. She came back over with big tears in her eyes and yelled at me and said desperately, "mom! That wasn't very nice!!!"

She was right. I looked at her and saw these little sad eyes and I picked her up and told her she was exactly right, it wasn't nice at all. 

I apologized and she nicely responded that it was ok and that we are friends. 

Sigh. Who is mean and treats their friends like that? 

I have guilt now. 

It didn't help much when she started calling me Mudder and Greg Fodder all night.  Oh guilt and stress and regret how I hate you. 

Tomorrow we try again.

I love this

No matter how stressful the day is, finding pictures on my phone or iPad like this makes everything better again.
