The Children

She tired.

This is possibly the first time I have relaxed in 4 days. It has been a whirlwind around here.

Friday I ate lunch with Aidan at her school. This is always entertaining to me, because kindergartners talk A LOT and tell you everything. The trick is not to get whiplash from trying to keep up with them all. I was especially happy to see all the boys rubbing ice cream on their faces, and showing their neighbor the food in their mouth. It was at that moment I realized my boys were normal.

Aidan turned 6 yesterday, and her cousin Anne came over to have a slumber party Friday night. They made a “show” for me which consisted of a poem reading and an explanation of a drawing. We played Pretty Pretty Princess, and painted fingernails. Then Anne told me all about how her dad never listens to her mom. I just tried to maintain my composure.

Saturday, I took the kids to the park to take pictures. The worst idea I had all weekend.

Sunday morning I awoke to Aidan at the side of my bed, asking me about birthday presents and if her first tooth would be loose today.

I have been so busy, and I have been SUPER irritable. I realized yesterday that I had not had anytime to read. Reading calms me down. I am going to grab a book, and my 3rd cup of coffee and hide in the closet.
