Brushing Teeth
When I brought Carson upstairs to brush his teeth and go to bed he saw a bobby pin on the counter and asked me what it was. I told him and then showed him how I put it in my hair. Then he said it was his turn. So I pinned back his bangs. He liked it and said he looked beautiful. I had to take pictures of my beautiful boy, but couldn’t pick just one photo to share.
Carson was in school today and Betsy and I had a fine day, nothing terrible but nothing great. I felt funny all day, kind of tired and fuzzy. I even took a pregnancy test because I felt so out of sorts. It was negative. After I picked Carson up we all (myself included) came home and took naps. Betsy slept for an hour, about normal for her. Carson didn’t take a good nap at school, so he slept for about 2 hours. Right after dinner (a rather early one in an attempt to have bedtime come as soon as possible) Carson started crying about not being able to watch Umi Zoomi and I lost it. I guess it was the combination of feeling bad, all the not perfect things that happened today and the whining toddler. I screamed at Carson, and that made both Carson and Betsy cry. So everyone is crying and I just wanted to go to bed and be done. I hadn’t had a day like that in a while. It was a good reminder to be thankful for the mediocre days when things are just ok, where nothing super happens but no one yells and no one cries. Mediocre can be good.
