Today is one of those days. A long night has made way into a long day. I'm having to remind myself over and over that the days may be long, but the years are short. I'm trying to have a good attitude and be patient with a clingy, whiney baby but I'm tired and grippy too. Today I'd like to just disappear and sleep and do nothing by myself. Recuperating from a long week at camp is always rough, but with a 14 month old it's near impossible. And Falls Creek is looming next week, so we'll get to do this all over again then. He wants to read the same books over and over. He wants me within his sights at all times. He needs to eat, poop and sleep but needs my assistance in all of those things.
I'm trying to remember what a blessing Tucker is, that motherhood is, but it's hard. I'm trying to remember I asked for this, no begged for it. And most of all I'm trying to be grateful. But today is a long day. already.
But who can look at this face and not smile? Even on minimal sleep and a cling-bot attached to your leg?

You are such a wonderful Mamma!! I totally understand where you are coming from! Even though I have loved all the stages there have definitely been some that I don't miss. Hang in there don't be too hard on yourself. Tucker is adorable and is so lucky to have you as his Mom.
