When Kirk got home from work last Thursday, I told him that I just needed to go into the bedroom and veg. I was feeling weird and hormonal and it was just one of those times I just needed sit in peace and pray. I was only in there for a few minutes when I heard Maren trip and start bawling. Kirk was in the middle of feeding Jesse so I scooped her up and let her snuggle with me on our bed. I told her I was going to say a prayer in my head and asked her to be quiet for a few minutes. And as hormonal women often do, I started to cry. I was trying to be discreet, but then I felt a little warm hand touch my face, "Mommy, are you okay?".
"Yes Maren, Mommy's okay." I said, sniffling. She had such a worried look on her face. "I can make you feel better", she smiled, "I'll go get you a snack."
A few minutes later she returned with her half eaten container of yogurt and we shared the rest together. She knows me all too well!

Well Marcy, you know where Maren learned to be so kind and concerned about others? Her Mom! Thanks for sharing. It made me smile and Im glad to hear that other women need ot have a time out sometimes, and its not just me.
