I got a lot done today (mostly outside work, but also 2 of the 4 standard weekend chores, and started on the other 2). I regret not spending more time with my daughter today. Just a reminder that I very much dislike playing SuperMom. Not that I needed a reminder. But sometimes I can’t get my brain to let go of something it’s fixated on, assuming I even remember in those moments the lessons I’ve learned before.

that’s the hard part, recognizing the behavior when you’re in the midsts of it. I run into the same issue wth other things. *HUGS* Playing superMom may be hard, but remember, it’s more important to be a super mom. You love Amber more than anything, so you’re already there.
Actually, Amber had a really good day. Slept in, fun morning with her Grandfather, sweet potatoes then sausage for breakfast, she got to “drive” the car and play with the controls (and drained the battery in the process – oops!), she and I played at the park, she got to hang out with two 11-year old girls (she likes to copy and “fit in” with older girls), lean turkey hotdogs and apple and popsicle for lunch, long nap, pureed sweet potatoes for snack, we opened most all the windows in the house, she got to “play with” (read: be babysat by) her second favorite person while I went to the grocery store, then raspberries and pretzels followed by baked bean no cheese nachos for dinner, and lastly watching Cinderella before bedtime. Sure there were a few toddler tantrums, but nothing out of the ordinary today. Almost everything she ate was a favorite food, and almost everything she did was a recent interest or established favorite activity.
It’s really just me missing her, since she was away last night overnight, and then I got busy today when I didn’t mean to. I had a mildly unpleasant time with her not being in bed when I went to bed. I had wanted to take her to the grocery store with me, but wasn’t sure I could manage it after doing all that yard work today. So, yeah. Mama caused, Mama felt. Oh well. Tomorrow’s another day.
So it unexpectedly rained most all Sunday. Turned out it was a good thing I did all that yard work on Saturday.
