I had yet another evening meeting which I had to drag the kids to and they reenacted WWII style air raid sirens by screaming at each other a lot.
Frog is all kinds of contrary and even if I agree with her she pulls a huff worthy of a teenager. If I walk away she just comes and stands in front of my face to make sure I get the full force of her huffiness.
She must have seen the dark, stormy cloud hanging over my head last night because just as the raindrops were about to fall she brought me her "dinesaw" to "Make you happy mummy?" and gave me a kiss on the nose before dancing away.
He and I stared at each other for a while.
And then those storm clouds burst.
The salty tears ran down my face and burst in clouds of steam.
From white hot anger to dull red heartache in a second.
These girls that drive me to distraction are also the glue holding me together. We are all hurting, they need their daddy back, and so do I.
I know they are trying their best, and I'm so grateful for that little dinosaur.
He made my day.
