7 minutes ago:
While crying in the bahroom, Ty informs me he needs to "speak with me privately".
I enter his dark bedroom, and this is what followed;
ty- mum have a seat
...i sit on the toy chest he sits on his club chair...
ty-first of all why are you crying?
me-because i miss you and i hate working so much and i feel guilty
...followed by uncontrolable tears...
ty-ok so you miss us and we know that and you miss us during the day, and we see you at
breakfast and that is during the day so it's ok
... take note,this converstion is taking place in the dark and I am wrapped in a childrens sized
towel crying on a toy chest while my soon to be 5 yr old is dealing with me...
ty-so you cried a lot last summer because of the sugar ants in the house and this summer you
killed them all and you dont cry so soon it will be like that with work.
me- i love you TY!
ty- i know i love you too mum, you looked really pretty today in your black shirt with your necklace mum and i love you more than dad but i love dad the best!
pause
sigh

me-i love you TY thank you for being understanding of me working so much
ty- mum some kids never see their mums and we see you at breakfast and you get the next day off and it is my birthday and i love you. so no more crying because you do see us during the day at breakfast and at night and we dont have ants!

That is so sweet. He's such a cute little boy.

I also wanted to tell you that in Relief society when they asked what made us happy I thought of you and your blog. That makes me happy and always cheers me up. You can always make lemons out of lemonade and I admire that. You're also an excellent writer and I love reading your blog.
