Chaos

Our little life felt pretty hectic this evening right as I was about to leave for youth activity night. Ryder was chasing Tenley around and slipped on the floor ramming his head right into the couch. He got a huge bruise and just wanted to cuddle. But we needed to eat dinner. I ate dinner quickly and then tried to nurse Luke so I could leave, but he would not nurse! He was just screaming and crying and I couldn't calm him down. Luckily Brad came to my rescue and held Luke while I pumped a bottle which Luke took from Brad just fine. I'm trying not to be offended by that...

Then as I was pulling out of the garage Ryder was crying for me and did not want me to leave. Judy held him back and said she'd clean up dinner for me. I definitely don't like leaving the house like that! I felt awful for the messy kitchen and the crying children I had left behind for Brad, George, and Judy. But when I came home an hour and a half later everyone was happy. The kitchen was clean, Luke was asleep, and Ryder was smiling and laughing. They told me that everything had been just fine while I was gone. I guess they don't really need me! But I was so grateful for all their help.
