Yesterday was so hard. Thankfully Seth came home from work early (made up a tiny bit for working until 11 pm the night before) and took both kids to the store. Ah, silence in my house for a few minutes! When they came back, Isaiah ran down the hall (Charlotte clomped quickly behind in her jelly shoes). He carried a large bouquet of flowers and said, "You're a wonderful mommy and I love you!" I guess I'll keep them after all.
