the real

i'm about to post some "cute" stuff.
from yesterday.
that might make you think things are all "cute" and peachy around here.

they are not.

today was hard. ugly. painful.

bootcamp for bailey and sawyer is intense.

and, lincoln and levi are no longer orphans. but, sometimes they act like orphans - they slip back into some of "those behaviors" and it's been a little while (definitely over a week - which was so fun to see them like that!) but today there was refusing eye contact, lying, hoarding, and it makes me mad and sad all at the same time.

kind of interesting that they BOTH slipped back into it on the same day??

i have no idea. i literally can not put 2 thoughts together right now.

and i can pretty much guarantee (and am feeling the wash of guilt over) not speaking many (any?) kind words between 5:30 and 7:15 pm when pat got home. ugh.

the real :-)

Dude. It happens. We hoard still. Everything. I say. "chew and swallow" ALL the time. Sometimes...I say it a looooong time after we have left the table.

It takes a long time for them to forget they were/are orphans.
