P.S.

I forgot to mention that when I stripped Jocelyn of her jammies I put her back in her bed sans clothes. And then while I was bawling I could hear Samuel bawling. I asked him why he was crying again (he had already cried when I turned all the lights off to deter them from coming out of their room so it was pitch black, except for their nightlight) and he was worried about Jocelyn being virtually naked and going to bed cold. And then they came into my room and saw me crying and making a mess of myself and Sammy gave me a hug (another side note: I was explaining forgiveness to him as he did not want to deliver one of the goody bags to a neighbor whose son had been kind of rough with him. He actually remember a time that we visited them a year ago!!!! when the other boy tried to hug him and consequently pushed him down a few steps....so I was trying to explain to him that he needed to forgive this kid and that when he hugs me, even after I get angry with him, that is an example of forgiveness....so tonight was extra huggy when I got short-tempered) and I, w/tears and a bit of whimpering, asked them to go to bed. And they did exactly that. (too bad crying doesn't work every time bcse I would use it every time). Answer to a prayer! Oh--and all the goodies I've received lately are great soul food. Thanks for thinking of me!

  1. Oh dear! Good luck finishing everything, and good luck with your kid-o's. Tralee didn't have a great night last night either. She was up since 4am and wouldn't go back to sleep. This morning she refused to wear clothes, and ran around sans diaper for just enough time to pee all over the floor. We're off to a great start!
