but there are kids in china who would be very happy to have her. then where would you be?
woke up with a headache this morning. a bad one. tight, wrap-around pain.
had a nice moment with the boy, anyway, upstairs in my bed. we talked about feelings and how our god-son is growing up. i told him that i hurt, and he understands what that means. i told him i need to rest.
so i don't understand why he cannot let me lay down in the dark, in peace, for just a while. I set him up with juice, a snack, his toys, and his favorite shows. i'm even willing to get up to change channels in between, or get him a new cup.
but he can't leave it alone. he has to come in and do exactly what I asked him not to - he brings the loud, light-up toys into the family room where I'm trying to rest. he flicks on the light, then screams when i reprimand him. he decides that building a cushion fort on top of Mommy is the most important thing in the world, and screams when the pillows won't stay in place. and screams when i won't let him cover my face.
he says he wants to build a fort so Mommy won't come out anymore.
of all the hardships a kid could face, having a mommy who has migraines isn't THAT bad.
what am I doing wrong?
