...everything seems a little overwhelming!
Right now I have a cold. It is getting better, however yesterday I found myself at the supper table, crying. Yesterday I cleaned our main floor, as small group was to be at our house last night. I cleaned the bathroom and vacuumed and washed the kitchen floor and tidied up everything. Then I made supper and gave R half of a muffin to tide him over as it was a little late. He ate half of it, proceeded to crumble the rest and dump it unceremoniously on the floor. And it was a blueberry muffin! So there was little blue spots on my nice clean floor.
At supper he ate OK, then dumped more food on my floor, after I had talked to him about it before and had warned numerous times during supper. I got him out of the chair right away and started to clean up the mess, then sat down in my seat and started crying. My wise husband took R out in the backyard to play with his new soccer ball in our newly fenced backyard.
Why is it that when we are near the end of our rope, they seem to play on that last thread? I didn't even know that I was that close to emotional, but apparently I was. All I can say is thank you, God, that I am not a single parent!

Oh Rayna, I am sorry you had a bad night... Many times over here also the last thread has been "pulled"... but tomorrow is always another day.. and sometimes the only thing that makes it better is a good cry.. I am sure why, but it does seem to help..
