Curling up at the bottom of the bedclothes,
waiting for the screams to cease
Lying in distressed confusion,
asking my Lamb doll for a little peace
Praying softly for her to appear soon
at my bedside with a warm comforting embrace
Telling me the angry words were not all my fault
Admitting they partly spilled over from the hard day she'd faced
The minutes dribble through into an hour
And I strain my ears for a door knob twist
Any sign to show she remembers she hurt me
and that my cheerful presence she's truly missed
I drowsily persist in my vigil of hopefullness
the daylight slowly wanes to dusk black
As I cling to my baby blanket
I drift to sleep knowing she never meant to come back...

As if we were someday to love"-Venus Trines at Midnight

You aren't supposed to remember when mommies have bad days!!! It's against the rules!!!

Now I am crying.. gotta' go hug my kids now.

By the way... if I have wronged, or been impatient, my babies always get my love and sincere apology.. they have a hard enough world to face, without feeling my weight against them too. I always give them smooches and hugs and I love you's... even my big ol' nine year old boy..."Ewww, mom!!!"

It sucks to be responsible for others sometimes when you have a bad day... I feel for the person you wrote about as much as for the little girl you... smooches to both.
