Help Me Be Brave

Most days I feel like a flunkie......

I feed em hotdogs cause its easy.

Yell cause they make me crazy.

Tell em worms will grow in their butt if they keep chewin erasers.

Advise them to kick bullies in the throat.

Am useless when they are hurt *see previous blog entry*

And feel like they will hate each other forever cause they never stop fighting........

My middles bicker to no end!
They are 5 and everything is an argument:

Who washes their hair the fastest.

Who gets to sit in what chair at the table.

Who loves me more.

Who's turn it is to pick the movie.

THE LIST IS ENDLESS !!!

Today Jay had to see the bone doctor to get his permanent cast.
I decided Bre could go at the last minute , and the whole way there Jay said when he gets a shot he's holding her hand cause she "makes him brave"
I assured him he wouldn't need shots. I Promised even !!!

THEN we get there, and the doc tells us his bone is healing off center.....
The doc needs to numb Jay's arm and reset it.
* Lets add "Mama's a big ole liar" to todays failure list*

As the doc walks in.....I spot a 4 inch NEEDLE!!!!! and my soul bleeds for my little trooper.
This may be more than he can bear.

And I may pass out.....Im a flunkie so I cant guarantee anything......just sayin.

As they insert the needle he moans for his sister......

"Aubreeeeey help me be brave!"

My heart melts, as she bolts to his side to hold his hand.....and holds it tight...... to lend her bravery to the brother that she loves.
Even if she would never admit it.

I do ALOT of stuff wrong......BUT I'm doing the important stuff right.

A sibling is how a parent makes sure their children will never have to walk this world alone..........

Today my babies proved they didnt need me. They had each other, and thats enough.......
