It has been a really rough week. I don't know why some weeks are harder than the others. I feel like I do the same thing day in, day out, but after what seems like a hard week, it just wears on you!
This morning, I started off having a rough morning. I woke up slightly irritated, and I just wanted to curl back up and go back to sleep. I finally put Cooper to sleep, and I walked into the kitchen. I was overwhelmed already, and I knew that I had the rest of the day to endure. I just collapsed on the kitchen floor, and I started sobbing. I ended up curled up, crying on the kitchen floor.
I heard the patter of little footsteps, and I looked up to see Macey walking toward me. I sat up on my knees and gave Macey a weak smile. She walked right up to me and said, "Mom, sad?" I told her I was sad, and she bent over a little bit, stuck out her pudgy fingers, and wiped the tears off my cheeks. She said, "It's okay, it's okay." After my tears were wiped away, she turned around and just sat on my lap. She sat there until I had calmed down enough, and she walked away.
It was exactly what I needed--how did she know?! I am so grateful for a little daughter that listens to the Holy Ghost and knows exactly how to support me as her mother.
