Today was rough from start to finish. Two crabby toddlers were crying, resisting, defying, slapping, falling, crashing, yelling, and more.
I took them out shopping pretty much all day – not to buy anything, just to get away from the house and provide some distraction. We checked out a new dollar store which was totally unimpressive except they had these perfect little hand baskets that could also be wheeled like a cart. I would have bought a few of them for $1.
Sorry it was a rough day. 🙁
I love you, Tiffanie. I think you do an amazing job distracting two very active and sometimes cranky little boys. You just do what you have to do, no matter how tired, or how emotional you might be feeling. I’m so very proud of you as a mother, and those amazing little boys are so very lucky to have you. The easier part will come. You will get to sleep again. When it’s not that way, it feels like it will go on forever, but it won’t.
Hang in there. I hope you get some rest, and tomorrow the crabbiness is gone.
Kisses and hugs and lots of love,
Gramma xxxx
Good morning from the Lake House! Almost grabbing a “scorpion”, to two crabby toddlers the past two days have been challenging!! Once again, Gramma stated it perfectly!! We too are proud of you Tiffanie!! Your Nana used to say “this too shall pass”! I used to cringe everytime she said that, but now that I am older and supposedly wiser….she was right! Hoping soon for you that your days will be less filled with drama and more with contentment!! In the meantime, hang in there and know you are doing an awesome job!! Prayers, hugs and love! 🙂
” Hang in there. I hope you get some rest, and tomorrow the crabbiness is gone.”
——– I’ll amend that, to:
*Hang in there. I hope you get some rest, so tomorrow the crabbiness can be dealt with. . . . . . . . . again.* 😉 😉 😉
Seriously though………through this blog, we can see the “crabbiness” you deal with each day, see the moments that help “offset” the crabbiness, and at the end of each day, hope that your tomorrow is better, and that joy and happiness can come tripping in on “twin’s feet”.
“This too shall pass” — — — and when it realizes that it left you behind, it slows down so you can catch up. 😮 😉
This task wouldn’t have been: *appointed to you*, if you hadn’t had the strong, and loving spirit needed to complete it.
Brendan and Trevor are, blessed, that you, Tiffanie, and Bill, are their parents. The day will come, when they realize, and appreciate that.
