Today is one of those days where I wish the policies on EBAY allowed me to sell body parts. I know they are trying to prevent me from selling a kidney to the highest bidder, but today is one of those days when I would be happy to offer my children on EBAY to the highest bidder, and I would pay the shipping. How can they be so frustrating and so precious all at the same time. Yes, I always said that the lifespan of puppies and babies would be much shorter if they weren't so cute. Today that holds true.
So tonight, when I tuck them in to bed and kiss them good night, I will say a prayer that I can show them how to be loving and kind and to laugh and to enjoy the simple joys of each day. To smile, and appreciate everything that they have in their lives. I don't know how to make a seven year old and a four year old understand that just because I wouldn't let them watch cartoons this morning that their lives are not ruined, and that words they say to even big grown ups like their father can help more than anything else they can ever do. But all I can do is pick myself up, dust myself off, and try again with a new day tomorrow. In the words of Scarlett O'Hara, "Tomorrow is another day."
