Today was quite an intense one. It started off with "I HATE YOU!!" repeated just short of a million times before school. My middle child followed it with "You are the best mom EVER!" upon returning home from taking said child to school. Then I was just told minutes ago that, "You are the best cookie chef EVER and EVER!" (by the girl who hated me this morning). Ugh.... it's been a day. As a young mother, you think that inevitably someday one of your children will say those words to you. I.....hate....you... I thought that I would just be able to shrug it off and continue about my day. I might have been able to do just that had I not continued looking at her as she repeated those words over and over with tears streaming down her face. Ouch... yup, that one hurt me.

I guess those words weren't saved to be used for the teen years. Yipes!
Good grief!! Those girls have the best mom ever and I hope you know it!
Tab has said that to me exactly one time. He said it to me, I turned around looked him in the eye and said, "I hate you". He immediately collapsed in tears. So i scooped him up and told him i loved him and talked about how it made him feel when I said that. He hasn't said in since. (Perhaps I was a bit mean in saying that but it worked)
