What should I write about?

Filed under: Uncategorized - abcmomma @ 10:29 am

My mind is blank.

I’m tired.

I could write about how Cutie has become attached to my hip since a bird bumped into a second-story window in our great room yesterday afternoon. This is the third time this year that a bird has tried to fly through it. Cutie saw the action yesterday and was so scared that she ran and clung to me and would not let go as I prepared dinner. Her chair at the dinner table had to be touching mine while we ate. She panicked when she couldn’t find me as I dared to shut the bathroom door. I was able to peel her off me so I could go to a girl’s-night-out, but when I came home, she was back. She slept in my lap as I checked the blogs but cried desperately when I tried to put her in bed. I held her on the couch and then she was content to sleep there long enough for me to get ready for bed. Then she came in bed with me and had to be touching me to feel safe enough to fall asleep. If I tried to scoot over, she would grab me like I was her life preserver.

I’m tired.

How great that you were able to enjoy a night away tho. Makes it a bit easier when you come home to you own little spider monkey clinging on so tight.

I’m so glad you could get a way for a little bit to come to GNO! It was fun to see you again. I can’t wait to get to know you more.

I can soooo relate! I have spent the last months teaching my daughter that she doesn’t need to be held, only to now have a newborn who likes to be held ALL THE TIME. And it’s been so hot that I just can’t throw him in my Baby Bjorn and cart him around. I need to just remember there will come a day when I’m BEGGING for snuggles!

Awwww, that’s a scary thing for children. She must feel very very safe with you :)
It’s tough for you, but imagine how frightening is for her.

I can totally relate to Cutie, I’d have done the same to my mom.

The birds in our neck of the woods must not be very bright. We’ve had 4 bite the dust from flying into our kitchen window in the past few months. Poor Cutie!! My kids haven’t had to see it!
