I was having a really hard afternoon. Difficulty with the kids. I was (and still am) very very tired, and I couldn't be compassionate. If you get hurt, guess what - YOUR FAULT. I told you so. Maybe next time you'll learn. Ok, so I took a break1, and then I went to pick up the kids at my mom's. And then, a wonderful thing happened: Charlotte, age 6, kindergartener for 2 1/2 months, read all of "Ten Apples Up On Top" to me. She struggled, she sounded things out, she persevered, she didn't complain, and I was so awed and proud and excited for her. That's all it took. Even though they were the same kids going home, I liked them again.
1I was watching "HSM3." But it wasn't my fault!! I was there to love and support a good friend who wanted a girls' night out just for that movie. So, I had fun just being with her and our friends. But, seriously y'all, I could hardly take the movie.

Boo to HSM3. I haven't seen any of those movies at all but I don't like the dude that's in them. He's got dirty secrets.
It is those moments that make parenting woth it.
