So funny, but I can pretty much promise you it won’t lead to shopping in lounge-wear and pork rinds/Tab dinners. It (or something like it) happens to all moms at some point. In fact, due to similar moments, I have stopped shopping with my kids unless I cannot avoid it. We’ve got 24 hour grocery stores and I go after the angel monkeys are asleep.

I’ve been feeling sad about having nothing for Nie-Nie too. Just prayers and a date with some balloons.

Ditto to Danielle’s “take a nap.”

Oh Em! I am dying laughing. Seriously. I thought stuff like that only happened in the movies. At least he was going #1 and not letter “b” behind the bushes. Are you OK??
You can do it!
but take a nap.

And thanks for the shout out about the auction;)

OK. That. is. funny.

Don’t forget the half-empty bottle of soda for him later.

Can I tell you how much I hate potty training and about a year afterwards. There was a time we were in Mervyns in the mall in Portland and Fiona needed to go 3 times in half an hour. And she actually had to go each time…and the bathroom was always on a different floor and kitty corner to where we actually were. Little kids…it does get funnier the further out you get.

barb said ‘hindsight’ … she probably didn’t even catch the pun there … hee hee

seriously though - girlfriend and fellow mommy, be grateful that your not still dealing with a 3 yr and 11 month old diaper clad stubborn boy {ammon and his lack of desire to potty train may be the death of me} and revel in this time when you can blog about it! because really - like Sister Hinckley wisely said, you can laugh or you can cry … and crying gives me a headache! love ya! hang in there, it may not get easier … but you get used to it! ;o)

Don’t be discouraged about NieNie Day! The most Nie-ish thing you could possibly do is be a wonderful mother to those two cute kids of yours!!

That was a great story about Henry- of course, much funnier in hindsight and when not happening to you!

Emily,

I have so enjoyed reading other bloggers thoughts and feelings about this tragedy, and yours is no exception. You have such a beautiful way with words and this post is so heartfelt that my eyes won’t stay dry. Thank you.

I loved this post. I, too, have been shedding many tears for a beautiful family that I have never met. I feel as if I know them, though. I care about them as if I know them. I pray for them and talk about them as if I know them. I loved your thoughts about what Stephanie would do if she could get up from her bed this moment. I know she would hold and love her husband and children. It’s a great inspiration to me to do the same.

Beautiful post.
When people come together in love and for the purpose of healing…it’s a beautiful thing.
And yeah, tears come easily.
