You're a strong lady for making it through the night. I was sick once and I even asked my neighbor to go to Kmart to buy pacifiers for me to sooth my crying child. <br />YOu're a gem and she's a gem and letting her down about the lack of platypus in Eastern Nebraska won't change that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725655139556446270.post-8808297072710423042011-05-09T07:31:10.527-07:002011-05-09T07:31:10.527-07:00I understand the tiredness.

I haven't been napping much lately, but I did on Saturday, for nearly 2 hours.<br /><br />As wise as she is, Nora is still a little girl and some things are still hard to understand. I feel exactly that way myself sometimes. She will eventually figure out that platypi (did I spell that right?) only live in Australia.

The hardest lesson I had to learn was to forgive myself; that I'm not perfect and don't have all the answers.

Look at the smile on your daughters lips in every photo, the creativity that she has and the encouragement and support you give her in finding her own answers. I applaud you:)))))Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
