Keep Smiling...

Today was not just any ordinary day. It was one of those pull your hair out, and bite your lip sort of days! Little miss Lyza was more than a hand full today. She was pushing every limit and pulling every string! I have to admit I wasn't as patient as I would have liked to have been. Toward the end of the day Lyza asked me "Mommy where is your happy face?" I replied with a smile," Right here sweetie". Then with a sweet but sort of sassy voice she said, "Well good, will you keep it on?" I kept smiling, but had a mix of emotions swirl through me. Geesh, am I really that grumpy? How sad! I feel so guilty for not being very patient! Am I a mean mom? How should I take that comment? Is she just being sweet or was that meant to be a little sassy? Goodness, all I know is I cant wait for Marcus to be home! I am going insane! At the end of the day, I still cant stop thinking about that comment Lyza made to me... Keep that smile on.... I hope tomorrow I will have feathers like a duck and I wont let things bother me so much. I hope I can be a better more patient Mom, and keep a smile! Thanks little Lyza for teaching Mommy something today.
