It's safe to say that this week has not been my favorite. Tom hasn't gotten home from work until about 11:30 each night and I've also been trapped without a car. I kind of reached my limit today and was just feeling really grouchy and tired and mad at the world. And unfortunately I've kind of taken it out on Reese and haven't been as nice to her as I should be. At one point this afternoon I was sitting on the ground in the family room feeling all mopey and Reese could sense that I was feeling sad. So this sweet little munchkin who deserved to be mad at me came up and gave me her blankie then her "boppy" (pacifier) then went in the pantry and grabbed an Oreo cookie and proceeded to try and shove it in my mouth. (Now that's my girl already knowing that chocolate makes everything better.) It was just the sweetest little moment to me that she was so perceptive and just wanted to take care of me and make me feel happy. Needless to say, it worked...she definitely made me happy.

Awwww...
What would we do without our kids??
(Sleep more, get ready each day, talk to adults...)
Just kidding.. My kids are my SANITY when I am grumpy!
First off. Reese is SO CUTE! What a little doll. I love how my kiddos take care of me-it's such a blessing of motherhood. My 11 year old son asked me the other day if I wanted him to rub my feet. I could have DIED! What a cutie.
Loved meeting you at Blogapalooza. Your blog is adorable and your family is beautiful!
How long is Tom's car in the shop? I will totally come and get you out of the house. We can take the kids somewhere. Let me know. I would love it.
Sorry you are having such a bad week. I'm happy to hear you have such a perceptive little sweetheart looking after you. The other day when I was sick, Evan kept saying, "I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry, honey!" Another time when I mentioned to Jake that I'd had a bad dream Evan once again apologized that I had to go through that. So cute! I love childhood empathy!
So cute! Oreos make me happy too. :)
That's the beauty of kids. They forgive and forget so easily (I am very fortunate that they do too)! I think we all have a tendency to take out our frustrations on our kids. What a sweet little girl!!
She is so sweet. Some weeks are hard. Hopefully you get your car back and can escape for a little while. :)
Children really are so smart and perceptive. I love that she went and got you an Oreo. Even when we are tired, worn out, sad, and grumpy they seem to understand and just want their mommy to get back to normal. I would take your friend up on her offer to get out - it does miracles!
Yep, and then with all those pregnancy hormones you probably broke down into joyful tears, right?
Heid, so funny. That's exactly what happened and I was just about to write that. I hugged and kissed her like crazy while tears ran down my face which probably confused her. It's all good. Better for her to learn that her momma's a psycho during her early years.
Fuuny how they can pick up on your mood- they are very smart little things! Riley looks at my gigantic pregnant feet and tells me that she is sorry that my feet hurt:) Makes you feel good that they care- even though they are so small!!
in what situation would an oreo not be the best answer?!! I think an oreo could get me out of the worst mood. I think that is very cute of reese to do that for you. She obviously learned from the best.
Talk about making your day! That is seriously so, so, so sweet. No wonder they say we should all be like little children.
That is so cute. Maybe I'll have kids so they can bring me cookies. Ha ha!
Yes, admitting to her now that you're crazy is the way to go. That way, when the day comes that you freak out and threaten to drive off a cliff, she'll just roll her eyes at you much like I did to Mom. Hehe, love ya Mom. ;)
Reese will forever be one of my favorites. I just love that little smirky face in her picture to the right. She's just so darn cute.
Reese has to be the sweetest little girl! It's amazing how perseptive our little ones are and hoe they know exactly what to do to make us feel better! What a sweety;)
That's my girl! She is such a sweetheart. Giving you her boppy was the real act of love. Remember this the next time she's driving you crazy(which has probably been several times since you posted this). I miss her hugs!
Sorry about the inherited "craziness" factor. It's amazing what those hormones can do to you.
Ginger, so you didn't believe me when I said I was going to "drive off a cliff". Maybe, because there aren't any in
Vegas. Are you insinuating that I was crazy. Rude! Well maybe only once a month and when I was pregnant. Oh, that was pretty much all of the time. I guess all I needed was an Oreo and a boppy. Smart girl!
I remember how crazy my hormones were when I was pregnant. Hang in there! Make sure you give Reese a big hug from me "HOLLIE" and thank her for taking care of such a great friend. I love that little girl.
That is such a cute story. What a little sweetie!
So glad to see you are blogging again! Keep it coming! Reese is so sweet and I had to laugh when I read that she calls her binky her "Boppy" Karley used to call hers "poppy" and we just thought that was so cute!
Oreos always make it ALL better!!Love 'em
aw, what a sweetheart you have! It's really amazing how much kids pick up on! I hope you are feeling better - that first trimester can be so hard - especially when you have little ones to take care of!
This is such a product of your mothering, Rachel. Your kids will be the best nurturers. It comes so naturally to you. You're always thinking of THEM over yourself. You model sensitivity and genuine concern so well. What a sweetheart.
Little children are wonderful. I mostly love how forgiving they are. Almost every day I am surprised how much I learn from my kids. What a sweet little gal!
