Jojo informed me last night that I never talk to her in a nice voice, I only talk to Jakey in a nice voice. This broke my heart when she said this. Yesterday we were rushed after the benefit meeting and then Jason called, so the 9 o'clock bedtime turned into 9:30 bedtime. I was rushing them in the bath, brushing teeth, brushing hair and on top of that I had to keep disciplining Lexi because she was stealing things from Jakey's room. I don't remember raising my voice at either one of them, but I didn't want to make her opinion not count. So I held her and told her that I don't mean to talk in a mean voice and if I did I was so very sorry. I told her that with Daddy being gone and all the things going on that Mommy gets stressed and misses having the help and sometimes it makes me crabby. I reassured her that I love her very much and don't want her to feel like I'm a mean mom.
So this morning during breakfast I used my sweetest, silliest voice and talked to Jojo until she was laughing. For dinner tonight, I'm surprising the kids with dinner at McDonalds and Uncle Acka is going to meet us there for another surprise. I hope this helps the kids realize just how much I do love them.
