Well, after thinking about my "mommy moment" for this week, I had to spend some time reflecting on a few hard things from my last week. And you know, sometimes its just not easy to be a mommy. Each of the kids had something this last week that as a mom, I just have to try to work through with them.
First up is Kaleb. The poor little guy has been complaining of stomach pain for about a week now. It doesn't come at any specific time. It isn't predictable, and its starting to make me worry. Over the weekend we even had to give him tylenol for it, because he was in tears. But then there are other times where he's fine, and acts like nothing is wrong. We talked to the nurse line, and because my insurance is so crappy, they said to wait it out the next few days and doctument what's going on at each point where he said it hurt. This will help to figure out what might be causing it, and how we can fix it. And, it will mean we don't have to have two very expensive appointments we can't afford. I feel bad for him. The poor little guy. And I hate that feeling as a mom. That helpless, "what do I do?" feeling. I'm hoping we'll get some answers on it soon.
The other three kids have been more attitude issues lately. Its been more trying to handle some behaviors they've had that have just been out of control. With Dallas its very hard, because he gets SO wound up SO fast when he's not on his meds. We don't give them to him on the weekend, just when he's in school. And sometimes that's hard. Because he is so constant, and so. .. annoying!!! I hate to say that about my son, but its true. He can be down right annoying sometimes!!! And Gabriels issue has been more of the weepy crying stuff. It takes NOTHING to have him in tears. And when he's in tears, he doesn't want anything but to burry his face in my side, and try to talk to me. Of course I can't understand him, and when I try to bend down to talk to him, he pushes harder, and cries more. I'm not sure what's going on with Gabe, but there are a few issues going on with his little self that have me wondering. Kendyl on the other hand has just been showing all her little girl attitude!!! She YELLED at me to help her take her coat off yesterday. I told her I would not until she asked nice. Would you believe an HOUR later she FINALLY asked Todd nice to take her coat off? She's a stubborn little stinker that one!!!!
I'm hoping to have some better mommy moments to share this week ahead!!

You're so right... is isn't always easy being a Mommy! I'm hoping things get easier & you'll have a better week this week.
Boy... the little girl attitudes... they can be pretty bad, can't they??? Amazing to me that such sweet little things can be that way!
Hi Jamie. My heart goes out to you and I know how you feel and what you are going through. I am going through some of the same things with my son Andrew. Last week I leaned down to kiss him and he spit in my face! Not a full all blown out spit but you know how kids stick out their tongue and make a noise. That's what he did and I didn't have any spit on my face at all. I really don't know how else to describe it. I'm not real sure if how I handled it is the right way but I told him he can't do that cuz it hurts mommy's feelings and it's just NOT nice at all to do to anyone. Then I asked him if he loved me and he told me NO. I was so upset. I cried for hours. I took it so seriously. And I noticed lately that he won't come sit on my lap and he really doesn't want to be cuddley at all. And I don't know if he's just getting to be at that age where he doesn't want to sit on my lap anymore (He will be 4 in December)or if there is really something going on there. I know he misses his Daddy alot because he works full time and goes to school the rest of the time. There are lots of behaviors that Andrews had that are concerning me as well. And he has picked up an attitude also. He is very mischevious and when I tell him not to do something he laughs and runs and there are alway consequences for this. I don't have a clue what I'm doing wrong. Or that's how I feel anyway. The only way I have been able to deal with this is my faith in God and staying focused on our new little girl on the way. I hope this helps and it's nice to be able to vent. Anytime you need to vent you can always come to me for support.
