My "sigh" comes out quite loud with a lot of breath behind it. It's one of those sighs where it's all you can do because you're not sure whether it would be better to scream or cry. I don't think I realized that I was a sigher until I was a nanny. The mom always pointed out my sighs and asked what they meant. It got me thinking. Usually it's an expression of a lot of emotion. Today my emotion comes from feeling helpless. Talmage woke from his nap unhappy and it was either tears or tantrums until bed, at which point he was exhausted. Who knows what brought this on but it was tough to handle. The only reason I am not crying right now was because we ended the night saying prayers together and singing primary songs. Pretty much, just what I needed. My goal lately has been to ask for the Lords help more often and I know He has been there for me. It has certainly gotten me thinking how a little prayer can make a big difference. I'm very grateful for that. I love this picture because he looks so grown up to me, not to mention beautiful. We are enjoying the warm weather but I thinks it's wearing us both out. Another "sigh". I hope you are all doing well.

I am right there with ya Rin. Mason did the exact same thing after nap. He just kept sobbing sad, sad sobs and WANTED to cuddle. What 14 month old kid wants to cuddle? I gave him some Tylenol and put him to bed a little early-he hasn't made a peep. During all of this Addie pooped her pants and then took her pants off in our room. Turds roll. Onto our carpet. I wanted to cry! Needless to say I just got out of my jetted tub and I am down a can of Diet pepsi and some reese's mini peanut butter cups. I feel better.
Sometimes all we as mom's can do is go on a prayer. It's not always glorius and fun. But it's worth it! It's nice to know other mom's have rough days too! Love ya!
There must be something going around, because Ava was the same way yesterday. Seriously, I kept telling Brad that she must be teething or getting sick (again? gulp!) or something. She was soooo temperamental. Nothing was satisfactory for her, and Brad was gone all day. So I hear your pain.
Thank goodness for our abilities to ask for the Lord's help....especially as a mother.
Little Talmage is so adorable. It's obvious you're a great mother!
Thanks for that blog. It is good to know that it just isn't me that have rough days. Talmage does look so grown up and handsome too. We should plan another get together soon.
Your little boy is adorable! Too cute and grown up to!
