Mean Old Mom

I just put the girls to bed - they haven't been feeling good. They went to bed fine, and for the first time in days my internet was up, so I tried to hop online for a few minutes.

"Mommy?"

I stop clicking and typing - don't want her to know I'm within earshot...

"Mommy?"

"Mommy? Juice! Mommy! Juice! Mommy! Juice!"

Seeing how this isn't going to just go away, and not wanting Tess to wake up, I go into Lily's room.

"Mommy! Juice!"
"Lily, you know we don't have sippy cups in bed. No juice sweetie. Heady down, let's go to sleep."
"Mooooom"
"Heady down, Lily."

She lays back down, I cover her with her blanket and slip out.

Now, back at the computer, I feel terrible! This poor girl who doesn't feel well, her throat is scratchy, her nose has been running all week, and her mean old mom, not wanting to start a nightly beverage ritual doesn't even give her a sip of juice!

Mean old mom! :(

Poor Mom, such hard decisions to make! I hope they are feeling better soon! Can't wait to see you all, Mom

Poor Lily Bug! We always give Benji a sippy to sleep with. Hmmm.

Well, it's understandable, though. You hate to start a bad habit. But of course the Mom's guilt kicks in. But you love her and she knows it! :)

I wouldn't have given her the juice, either, so I guess there are two mean moms out there!
