The Eid's Have It: Cranky

Cranky

Because cranky was her middle name, after a really long week of shorter nights of sleep filled with summer fun.
Because cranky was her middle name, as new pointy teeth poking through tender gums are no fun.
Because cranky was her middle name, packing boxes during nap time all week means no quiet time for mom.

When all else fails, go visit Grandma. A snack in the flower garden out back and a ride on her wheels because little feet were too tired to walk, and we are all smiles.

We smiles and headed to the van on our favorite path, via the fence.

All went splendidly until bitty fell and opened up a big scrape on her knee.
Cranky, became her middle name, once again.

Why Do I blog?

Welcome. Why do I blog? I blog for my two little girls so that when I am long gone, soaking up guilt-free sun rays, laying on a big fluffy cloud up in Heaven, they can remember. They can remember the simple things. The little things. Those things that are small to everyone else, but mighty to this mommy's heart. I want my children to know that not only the major milestones were remembered, but also the little milestones. Her first bike ride, her first bee sting, the first time she planted seeds in the garden. They will both know, not only were they loved deeply, but also the magnitude of that depth. Why not just journal? Because part of me hopes that in my day to day writing, someone out there in this mighty World can relate. Can relate to one little thing that runs through all of us--the desire to remember the times that made us laugh, smile, cry and most importantly, treasure our loved ones.
