So I have to admit that I, too have bad days. You know, days where nothing seems to be going your way and you feel frustrated? Yeah I was having one of those days! I had to work this weekend and the last thing I wanted to come home to was a messy house. I mean, sometimes I wish my kids would just clean up without having to be told. But alas, I came home to "hurricane kids".... Messy house, stickers all over the floor, dishes still in the sink, laundry not put away.... Ughh! Yes, this put me in an instant bad mood. So as I start to empty the dishwasher, toots comes down stairs to help. Normally I appreciate her helping me but, again, I wasn't very happy and she wasn't moving as fast as I wanted her too. "hey toots, can you just please go inside?" "but I'm helping you, mama." so I tell her,"yes, I know, but mama is not very happy right now because kids don't want to help clean and mama has to come home and clean everything." to which she looks up at me all wide-eyed and innocent, and tells me, "I picked up all my stickers."
That brings a smile to my face, "yes you did, baby :) thank you."
