I am praying for you. <BR/>Can they not show your house during nap time? that is a big deal and something you really need? <BR/>I can't believe the elephant cage story. Oh that breaks my heart. You are so strong adn taking on so much. You needed this breakdown to let it out. <BR/>Can I do anything for you? I will email you my numbers.

I hope you got some much needed rest that night!<BR/><BR/>Just to let you know that I agree with the other poster that I don't think it is a bad thing for Carter to notice you were struggling. It shows that he has compassion...which he has learned from someone (ahem). And for a boy to have that is a good thing! <BR/><BR/>He saw you at your breaking point and still going, still taking your kids to places they love to go, etc. he will learn good things from that!<BR/><BR/>Hang in there girl...it won't be forever. The weather in the spring will bring REAL buyers your way...the winter is not good as you know for buyers.<BR/><BR/>XOXOAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31273001.post-10686559159529529572009-03-15T21:52:00.000-05:002009-03-15T21:52:00.000-05:00Oh what a day!

The best part of this story is Carter comforting you - reminds me so much of my oldest, such a nurturing personality that I don't take time to appreciate often enough!5 Boys And Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01053536598449890059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31273001.post-43757271090438072422009-03-15T21:07:00.000-05:002009-03-15T21:07:00.000-05:00It is so special of you to share your true feeling...It is so special of you to share your true feelings with friends.

Although I can't say I have been there, I do feel for you. I admire that you were able to weather the storm. I'm not sure I would be able to...but then again, that is why I carry Xanax in my purse and will continue to when I become a Mommy. I don't know you very well, but I can tell you are a great Mom who is rasing some pretty great kiddos.

You are handling all of this better than most would, and I know the feeling when the first born senses your frustration, but you know what I think? I think it's very healthy for them to see us as real people with real emotions. This will serve him later in life... in fact, all that you are dealing with will somehow serve you later in life. Blessings on the Starnes' family, especially the mom!Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05739315625636887680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31273001.post-10948606291561045512009-03-14T21:39:00.000-05:002009-03-14T21:39:00.000-05:00okay - I am stopping right now to pray for you... ...okay - I am stopping right now to pray for you... okay - you sweet thing you just seem to always have it all together and you do such a great job holding things together without your hubby.

Your family is so gorgeous and you seem to have it together most of the time so it's nice to see the vulnerable side as well. I feel your frustration though it manifests itself differently for us all. Hang in, Case. Glad that Pa is coming.
