Let's Hope Tomorrow Morning is Better

Rough morning with Elias.

"I just don't want to go to school!" he cried.

He refused to eat.

I had to dress him.

He cried some more.

He hit his Dad.

"I just want to stay home with Mom!"

And oh, how I wanted to wrap him up in my arms and say, "Ok. Lets just cuddle on the couch and read books. Let's bake cookies and break down the garden. Let's take a nap and ride our bikes. Let's just play all day."

Instead I said: "We all have jobs to do Elias. And yours and mine is to go to school."

Sometimes its so hard to be a grown up.

And even harder to be a kid.

So hard to start the day like this! We got off in the wrong foot this morning and I felt bad about it all day. Hope the other days are better!

The other days were better Kate, thanks, but emotionally I've been a bit off ever since. Waiting, I think, for the next eruption.
