About two weeks ago we had a rough day. Looking back I can't remember why. I just remember that by the time Nathan got home I was frazzled. I remember that I was trying to get a lot done that I needed to and the kids were either acting out because they were having a bad day or simply because negative attention is better than nothing. I was worn out. I was dissappointed in myself for loosing my cool and letting myself feel that frustrated. I asked Nathan to please give them at bath so I could have a minute. Then I walked in there and told him after they got out I wanted to read to them before bed. He looked a little surprised since he knew what kind of mood I was in and asked if I had promised them I'd read. I told him no. I just needed it.
I needed a few minutes of me not trying to do things and solely focus on them. I needed a few minutes of everyone happy. Just a few minutes to love on my kids because I didn't want them to go to bed without me being sure I took the time to enjoy them that day.
