Friday Thoughts: She doesn’t have to hug you.

updated on Leave a Comment on Friday Thoughts: She doesn’t have to hug you.

Hugs, optional. This morning, my 4 year old daughter tried to get my 1 year old daughter to give her a hug. Baby A (our one year old) wasn’t having it and Honeybee (our 4 year old) was getting frustrated. “Mommy, she won’t give me a hug!” I smiled with so much love and gently …

  • 𝙃𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙮 𝙉𝙪𝙧𝙨𝙚𝙨’ 𝘿𝙖𝙮! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - You see this grainy picture? It’s my mom at the height of COVID-19. She is a nurse at a geriatric residential facility and at one point was losing multiple patients a week. She’s several states away. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - The last time she saw my youngest son in person was when he was four months. He will be two in August. She has never met her youngest granddaughter. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - This is the sacrifice of nurses everywhere. Putting their patients first. Long hours. Short-handed staff because when the nurses get sick, the patients still need care. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - To all my nurses out there, I hope your day is filled with ease. No codes. No horror stories. No tears in the bathroom. Just a beautiful and amazing day. You deserve it. And thank you! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - #happynursesday #nursesweek #nursesareheroes #nursesrock #mymommyisanurse #momnurse

  • 𝗦𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙣 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙩. ❤️ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - This morning my house was in chaos. I took a meeting with three children screaming at the top of their lungs. Fortunately I only had to speak for a couple of minutes and went to the bathroom. -------------------------------------- The school aged children were grumpy. Honeybee kept leaving her virtual class (which she just doesn’t do) for bathroom, water, and every other kind of break she could muster. Bug was engaged but obviously miserable. I paid attention. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - School day done. Work done. Babies sleep. I stopped by S.’s office, let him know I was taking the baby and the older children, and off we went. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - A food run and conversations later, I know my eldest is feeling a bit left out for reasons you wouldn’t expect. He’s also feeling a bit tired mentally with some of the things of the world. My daughter is just burned out this week and needs to be a carefree kid. I get it because sometimes I need a carefree adult break. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I made sure they had that time and we came hone refreshed and ready to try it again tomorrow. Both kids told me separately that they appreciated the break. Pay attention to your kids. Sometimes the acting out and grumbling has nothing to do with disobedience and everything to do with the need to change their surroundings, even for a little while. #tuesdaytip #tuesdaymood #tuesdaythoughts #tuesdaytalk
