Love Thursday

Today is Love Thursday and I am not feeling the love. Maybe it is because the weather is cold and yucky here. (The sun? What's that??) Maybe it is because Emma has been a little under the weather. Maybe it is because it is tax season and Mark is once again putting in an insane amount of hours. Whatever the reason, not feeling it.

However, though I am not feeling the love in any profound way, my kids can not keep one from feeling loved. Even in her not feeling so hot state, my baby girl is loving me. (Yes, I am aware that she is almost seven. She is still my baby girl.)

Yesterday, she finally told me that her head and throat were hurting a bit. I told her that she was supposed to tell me if anything was bothering her so we could keep an eye on it. Her response?

"I know. But I did not want you to worry about me mom."

I almost cried.

We try to protect the ones we love, don't we? Of course in return, we worry about those that we love. So while I may not have anything earth shattering to share today; any deep thoughts or something to meditate on, I am getting the love. My love lesson for the week?

Sometimes love means worrying when there is nothing to worry about and keeping quiet even when we are in pain to protect those we love.

Your baby girl is such a trooper. It's amazing how sensitive children can be to grownups' moods. Hope she feels better.

What a sweetheart she is. Hope she feels better soon and that you're feeling the love again soon.

And Just Like That.....

I made the fatal mistake of reading reviews and articles before watching a single episode of the show.  I knew full well I would watch every episode regardless.  I read anyway.  Spoilers? Not bothered.   Let me give some back story here.   At 17/18 my dream had been to go to a big city (Chicago was my thinking at the time), get my degree in journalism/editing/publishing and go work at a big time magazine.  Keep in mind we are talking about the mid 90's here so the idea that magazines would cease to be relevant was not even on my radar.  I had been editor of my high school yearbook and unbeknownst to me at the time, we were actually doing the yearbook by coding and would get printouts hoping we had coded copy correctly.  I just typed the copy I was supposed to type with the weird little codes that had been given to me on a piece of paper.  I would later discover this was actually HTML code we were doing.  Who knew?  This fu...

Why Choose It?

Judy posted a comment about being jealous at two weekends away from the kids. About how she figured it would be a long time before she got that chance. I have to admit, I thought better her than me to have the new baby. After our two weekends away and Mark joking that it was his ploy to convince me to not have anymore, I have to say.....I think it worked. After thinking about it and being able to get away so easily because the kids are bigger, I could not help but think, why go back and do it all again? If you had a choice between going out of town for the weekend or being stuck, tied down to a newborn who was feeding from your breasts every two hours and waking every three ,which would you choose? To which one might say why ever have kids at all.....fine. I have TWO. I have done it TWICE. Not only that, but for anyone who cares about it, I have one of each. One is almost seven, the other almost three. Granted Davis is not potty trained yet, but he does change his own diaper sometimes...
