Commented Mar 14, 2013 on 36**2013 - crochet eggs - at {quilt} while you're ahead

tonight, Milena whinged about always having to turn the lights off, even her brother's bedroom light. When my husband pointed out to her, "does mum complain when she makes your lunches everyday? when she washes your clothes? when she picks up your shoes?" I had to interrupt him and say..ummm not the best example. I actually do complain...openly, loudly, repeatedly. It makes me feel OK with it all. I'm caring less and less as they grow older. I'm finding that I am becoming happier with being more truthful to myself. Friends and children.
