Dear Zach, Rachel and little emily,
Mommy is so proud of you today. You did such a great job in the primary program! I get stopped in the halls at church each week by someone telling me how cute you guys are, and that you know every word to the primary songs...that makes my heart so happy! I was the same way when I was a little girl - I couldn't get enough of primary! I loved the theme this year about families being together forever. What greater blessing could there ever be then to be with you for eternity? There just isn't. I couldn't ask for better children... and as much as I hate to admit it, you will grow up, but I hope you will always stay beautiful inside and out and stay close to your Heavenly Father.
love you much!
xoxo,
mommy

I might just be the BEST mother on the planet!

So, as some of you are aware, I am REALLY struggling with Emily these past few months. I love my little spit fire of a girl to pieces, but she is driving me INSANE!!!! She has decided to wet her pants about 3 times a day for no apparent reason at all, she has attached herself to Sam's binki's and throws FULL ON TANTRUMS wherever the heck she feels the urge to do so! So, Yesterday I had all 4 kids at the post office (am i crazy? yes!) when the urge came on to throw a HUGE fit! Of course the line is a mile long and everyone is just staring at me! To make things worse, Sam started screaming bloody murder, and Zach had to pee REALLY bad! When I finally got the to car I was ONE MAD MAMA! Emily was still screaming and making sam even more upset, so I turned around and flicked her on her mouth. Yes, I know that just makes her scream louder and harder, but it made me feel a little better!:) I tried to block out the squawking as i drove home. I got to a stop light and looked back at her and she was COVERED in blood! I am not just saying a little...her hands were covered, her face was covered, it was even in her hair! Here's our conversation....

me: Emily? What happened? Why are you covered in blood?

Em: From you flicking me!

me: That is NOT from me, I barely flicked you!

Em: It is from you.

Me: No, I think it's coming from your nose!

Em: (Now hysterical and gagging at the sight of her own blood) Make it stop!

We get to another stoplight so I lean back to see where it is coming from...it is coming from her lip! I think my nail clipped her lip! What kind of mother makes their 3 year have a bloody lip? i guess now you know of at least one!
