Sweet boy

I had a rough day today. Between the tedious task of bill-paying (not to mention stressful) and the kid being particularly ornery, my nerves were shot.

Sadly, when I have days like this I tend to take it out on my boys ... well, more specifically on Brian. I don't mean to, but sometimes it happens. 

So tonight, my voice was raised slightly, and Allen immediately came over to me and reached up for me to pick him up. Then he snuggled me, and stayed close to me.

When a few tears were shed. He said, 
"Don't cry Mommy. You're not sad. I want a happy girl. I want a happy Mommy."
And then he gave me a hug. He also patted me on the back during one of those great hugs he gave me.


It made me realize how fortunate I am to have this little guy in my life ... no matter how difficult he can be sometimes.


xoxo,

P.S. I apologize to my boys for being so grouchy tonight. I love you both like you wouldn't believe.

He is a sweet boy and it's nice to know that he likes a "happy mommy." I hope today is better. At least the bills are paid.

Kids are so perceptive. It's amazing. Kids and dogs. :)

It sounds to me that he may have a future as a therapist...he seems to know just what to do to make you feel better. What a sweetie!
