Words that prick a Momma's heart

I'll be the first to tell you that I'm a little emotional right now. I just came off some hormone pills for some issues I have been dealing with, and they made me a little.... edgy. Well, okay, to be honest I was a psycho hose beast. Now I'm on the ride down, so maybe I'm just a little sensitive, but today I really felt like a crumb when my little Sophie looked at me and told me she couldn't do something because she was "busy". "I busy, Momma. You do it. Hosie too busy".

You know where she learned that from, right? From me. Too busy for my little girl. I know I have said that to her before, but I guess I didn't realize how much. It's difficult working from home, trying to get work done with the kids both at such a needy stage. But I work from home so that I can be with them, and apparently I've not been doing a very good job! I don't ever want my kids to think I am too busy for them, but at the same time I know I need to teach them that the world does not revolve around their every whim. It is so hard to find balance! But now I know I need to tilt a little more their way on this teeter totter called life, I don't ever want to be told that she is too busy for me ever again!
