Not so compassionate mommy
Posted by Kym under General
Does Hallmark make “sorry you found out you are dying” cards? Just wondering. If they don’t they should. They would be as popular if they Syndicated A Little Pregnant’s Infertility Cards.
I’m doing better today. I dreamed about it (that would be Grandpa’s Liver Cancer) a lot last night. Can’t remember what I dreamed, but remember waking and thinking “man I wish I wouldn’t dream about this”.
Of course, I kept getting woken up Noah. He must have woken up crying 5 times last night. No idea why. (Please God smile on me and do not let him be getting sick.) And it was that inconsolable middle of the night but not really awake crying. I will admit to being a not so compassionate mommy. At 4am, after the 5th time waking, and plodding into his room to comfort him yet again. Except this timet I didn’t do the comfort route again. Afterall that obviously wasn’t working.
So I stood at his bed asking “why are you crying”.
His reply “I don’t know”.
My reply “Please stop you keep waking everyone up”.
Him: Ok I guess.
Me: “If you have to cry, cry quietly ok? Or no swimming in Vegas”.
What kind of mommy threatens to give their kid consequences when they are crying? Uh that would be me. I win the coveted Most Mean Mommy of the Year award.
I know. I’m the most uncompassionate mommy on earth. But truth is, he stopped. He’s a rational boy if nothing else. And very patient with his irrational mommy at 4 am– or at least knows that his mommy just might be tired enough to carry out said threat.
Today I have to pack for my sister’s wedding in Vegas. We’ll be there till next Wednesday. I wonder if the MGM has an internet center or WiFi? If they don’t, I wont be online till Thursday prolly.
