well i guess we have had a couple of weeks without someone getting sick,
so it was overdue.
we are all coughing and the babes are grumpy grumpy.
harper and sadie are not getting along very well,
they don’t feel well and are constantly annoying each other.
poor little things.
so that means lots of hugs and soothing and calm words from mama,
even though i don’t feel very well either
and i’m also getting frustrated very easily.
but luckily i’m a REALLY good actress and i have gotten really good at using a gentle tone even when i’m screaming inside. HEEE!
i have to share this exchange from the other day.
i was driving somewhere, listening to the girls in the back seat.
sadie started shrieking like a banshee at harper.
harper: now sadie, wisten. no, no don’t make that sad face at me.
sadie: bah ma ma ma ma
harper: sadie, i wove you. i wove you very much
sadie: da da da da
harper: but i DON’T wove the *choice* you made to scweam at me. that makes me vewy sad.
sadie: uh ohhhhhh.
HEEEEEE!! gotta love my little mimic.
i’m still laughing days later, it was the highlight of my month.
yes, i’m aware that is sad. tee hee!!!
well i’m off to tend to the chickies.
hope you are having a beautiful day…
i’ll leave you with a layout…of brighter days
when the girls were playing with eachother without one of them screaming
or flipping the flip out.
ETA: J’s been gone seven months today. How crazy is that??
