after a short nap time with overly-tired and crying kids...
after an endless afternoon of failed potty training and entertaining kids...
after an exasperating evening of misbehaving and constant demands...
after a prolonged bedtime of inattention and incessant chatter...
after finally taking a moment for myself...
after E getting out bed to tell me C has to go potty...
C tells me, "I love you when you're Mommy,"
and I think the end of rope just may stretch a little further after all.
