A hard day to be a parent

-or- Testing our patience

Published on August 25, 2004 By BlueDev In Home & Family

I love being a daddy. I really, really do. But today I really had to remind myself of that.

Aubrey was actually pretty happy for most of the day. That was a definite change from previous days. But when Jessica got home from school, well, it got tough. She simply didn't want to do anything we asked her to. To be fair, I don't think it was deliberate. She just didn't seem able to pay attention. I would ask her to do something and "poof", it was gone, she had forgotten.

I try to be patient, but some days it is tough. She finally went to sleep, after much protestations, and I could finally take a big, deep breath. Boy, I sure do love them both, but some nights I just feel worn out. And tonight would be one of those.

Thanks for the encouragement! I will, we will. Most days it is great, yesterday was just one of "those" days.
