So on Friday, this is what I heard from my 4 year old. "I want a shirt with "Mommy" written on it and a big red x over it! Ha! Then I can have another shirt that says: I love Daddy and Baby Sister." She was just being silly, but sometimes I really wish that she at least liked me a little bit more. I know I'm not the fun one, I'm the one who is always here, Dad is the fun one who comes home and plays before bed. Those are our roles and I don't want to switch them b/c it would kill me to be away from the girls all day at work. Some days, little things like this really get to me.
On Saturday morning, about 1:30am, I hear "Mama," from down the hall. Morgan had come down with the flu. So I set her up at the foot of our bed for the night. All night, a couple times an hour, I was woken up by "Mama!" It might be sick and twisted, but while I was 100% sorry she was sick and wished she didn't feel so awful, I was happy. To me, this is when it pays off to be the one at home with her all day. She got sick and she wanted me, not Daddy, me! The next morning I was downstairs getting her some pedialite when she got sick. Michael was up there with her and tried to help her, but from downstairs I heard "NO! I want Mommy!" It made my day...well, my week. :) Totally makes stay at home motherhood worth it!
