Dear Belly and Bug,

Mama apologizes for being impatient when you were so goddamn whiney last week. I didn't know THIS was how you felt. I didn't realize at the time that you wished your sweet little faces would fall off so that you didn't have to deal with having your noses wiped yet again. It didn't occur to me that there was throbbing pressure in your sinuses that might make you want to lie your baby heads down for like, three days. I am sorry. Now I know. So please try to be a little more empathetic to me, okay? 


Buggy - when you smacked me square between the eyes with you tambourine this morning? That made me see stars and caused my sinuses to unload for at least 20 minutes. I know it was an accident, but please try to be a little more careful. 

And Belly, when you were slamming the square wooden puzzle piece into the spot where the triangle one goes and Mama showed you the correct spot, yet you insisted you were right the first time and kept slamming, slamming, slamming? That made my head hurt in a way that almost caused puking.

I am begging you, loving daughters of mine, take pity on me. I promise I will remember how this feels - this misery, this exhaustion - the next time you have crappy colds and whine all day and night. I will be a better mother. I promise. Just go easy on me, okay?

Your ever-loving and appreciative mother,
Mama

I feel your pain, minus the 2 daughters of course! I've got the same darn sinus/head crap going on :-<
