Today was really hard. Today was also really great.
Yesterday we returned from a 4 day trip to the ocean with my family. Tweenie, here, was sick the entire trip. Mostly with a bad cold but still miserable:/
So after driving home for 3 1/2 hours and simply being wiped out, this morning was not welcomed with sunshine and roses....
My little tween was not herself at all. There was fighting and yelling and crying,
(her or me, you ask? A little of both!) And by the time I pulled into the school parking lot, her face was so red and swollen from crying that she wouldn't go inside....I knew she was still a little sickly with a cough and running nose, but man I didn't see this coming!
So I walked little sister in to school, and told the office big sister and I were having a personal day:)
We stayed home together, painted nails, crocheted a little, went to lunch, bought some yarn, went grocery shopping, just hung out. Just the two of us together all day. We don't do it enough. She is changing so much and I barely see it happening! Some day I am afraid I will wake up and she will be a woman and I will say "what did I miss!!???" I'm glad I made the choice to let her stay with me, could have forced her to go to school, but something in me knew better.
She was worth missing bible study for...
She was worth losing "me time" for...
She is very worthy of my time and love!
What's not to love!! She is so much fun!!
