I was a little bit worried that you were going to be like the last 14 days have been. Rough. Really rough. But surprisingly enough you’ve been a bit more merciful than your predecessors.
If I had to pick a favorite moment it would have to have been when Parker very gingerly bounced over to me and laid his head on my arm. I’m pretty sure this was his way of declaring a truce. And for that I am so very thankful.
The worst moment would have to be when I realized that school had only been out for an hour and already my 12 year old was making me contemplate duct taping him to the wall.
Face first.
But then I realized that between the severe sleep deprivation I am experiencing, and my increasing need (NEED, I tell you) for a Dr. Pepper Over Ice I may (just maybe) be a little pisser than I truly have a right to be.
Of course I will deny any and all claims of ever actually admitting that.
I have quite a few loads of laundry to do while your sun is still shining. I couldn’t help but feel really bad when I noticed that Reed had to dry off with one of Parker’s prefold diapers after his shower this morning. Every once in a while these things get away from me. But my husband is very understanding and simply hung up the prefold after he finished using it. No complaining. No snide remarks. And because of that I want to make sure that tomorrow he has many,many clean and fluffy towels to choose from. I won’t even mention it if he forgets and leaves it laying in a wet puddle on the floor.
At least this once, anyway.
So, Friday, I hope you continue to be a gentle and laid back kind of day. We could all really use that around here.
And let’s hope that Saturday will be willing to follow your example.
How wonderful that your dh would just make do and not complain! You need that break! You’ve got enough on your mind.
and Sunday, and Monday. and Tuesday…..
Tammy, it is so GOOD to hear thay you have had an easier day! Parker is so precious to call a truce that way! Such a little doll. I am sure that just made your day! Reed sound like the best guy!!! Chad is like that too. I dont know what we would do sometimes without such great spouses, do you? Reed truly is a wonderful guy. I know what you mean about laundry! It got away from me this week too. WHY do boys make so much laundry?? I guess it must have something to do with that fact that six are living here, lol! I hope the rest of your days are as good as today for you!!!
Love and hugs,
Amy
I loved reading where Parker laid his on your arm. I would have melted.

Tammy, I’m so sorry that you’ve had such a rough couple of weeks. But I’m glad today was better.
I sent you an email…
Talk soon,
Susan
Reed is definitely a keeper.
So are you. You deserve the moon and then some. At least a Dr. Pepper over Ice…..
I hope Friday WAS great. And I hope you’re sleeping now and that Saturday is great, too.
YAY!! C’mon Saturday — you can do it! 😀
So glad to hear Parker is warming up now 😉
You are so precious Tammy. Thanks for sharing yourself and making me smile.
I’m so glad to hear Parker called a truce. I can’t imagine how difficult it has been with him mad at you.
I hope you weekend was a wonderful as your Friday. I enjoyed a nice chuckle about Reed and his creative towel drying ways. If I could I would send endless cases of Dr. Pepper your way ( a favorite of mine as well) along with AW rootbeer. Hugs – Terry
Here’s to using a towel (or diaper) more than once after a shower.
