Some days feel like ...ETERNITY


Warning: Whining AHEAD!
Today, was just one of those days! I woke up grumpy~I admit it, I was not Happy and choosing to let my family know. I was frustrated with my sweet EmmaLi and her lack of attachment (in my eyes~future post on attachment coming) and so, I chose to hold EmmaLi for a little while which got her and I very upset! NOt a good choice! Then I knocked over a glass picture frame of EmmaLi on the floor~shattered right by her and luckily no one got hurt. Then I decided I didn't want to chance the little cough EmmaLi displays once every 6 hours shouldn't be ignored because of a busy week coming up. I take her to the Dr. and feel totally stupid and angry for an expensive visit to be told "she's great!" (I'm very glad she is well and not sick just mad at myself for the unneccessary visit and co-pay!) Then on the way home I decided to stop at Costco for the upcoming reunion items. BIG MISTAKE!!! I make another brilliant decision (not) to put EmmaLi in the basket part of the cart because she was fussing in the seat and when Jessica and I were looking at something we hear a Mother's nightmare a big THUD! EmmaLi falls out of the cart and is screaming on the ground. Luckily their was a nice elderly man who was demoing across from us and came right over and said, "I'm sorry that happened but, come try the pickles over here!" (I kid you not) I was and am still sick about it and spent the rest of the night watching EmmaLi's hard to see pupils to see if they were dilated properly. I did call the dr's office (that we had just left) and they said watch for eyes dilated differently and nausea and any odd behavior (chinese toddler having odd behavior~mmmmmm?)They also told me to wake her up a few times tonight to make sure she is o.k. I did once and Jon gave her a blessing (also, tortures her) and everything seems to be o.k. so even though today was not a good day there was still many a blessings! At least EmmaLi seems to be o.k. what a blessing that is!

Oh my gosh! Thank yo so much for posting this!!! It's so nice to hear other moms are not Wonder women either. I've had tons of these days and feel like the worst mom in the whole world and I just wanna go to bed and start over. I'm glad she's okay after the cart fall, kids are so scary cause they're so fragile and yet they make it through our whoops and accidents. God must've made them tougher then they look. Your still one of the greatest moms in the world in my book. I would love you as my mom. Your so sweet and sensitive and funny and you always know just what to say to make a person feel better. Your the best! Hope today is brighter!:) Love ya!

Totally been there! Hang in there and don't beat yourself up, you're only human and you're allowed to have bad days! Carter once fell out of a Costco cart too, but it was in the parking lot. I felt like the world's worst mom, but he's normal now (well sort of) :)!
