Tonight my daughter put me in my place. I don't tell this story to tell you how I sucked at being a mom tonight, but to remind you that you never know what's on the other side of, " MOM! ".
I was sitting at my desk tonight, finally sitting down after going back and forth between Jonah and Alaina saying goodnight, getting milk, fixing blankets, etc. Charlie was crying cause I had set him down, and I was, needless to say, a little frustrated. Then I heard, "MOM!" After responding in a not so nice way and walking down the hall to see what she wanted I saw this:

She started crying and said, "I just wanted to show you this." I sat down, hugged my daughter, and asked for her forgiveness. So the moral of the story: Next time you hear, "MOM!" don't act like an irritated jerk. :)
