Drained

That's how I feel right now. Totally and completely drained...mentally, physically, and emotionally.Brandi cried again tonight. Slow, steady tears for over an hour. I didn't know what to do or say to comfort her. I tried telling her it was okay to miss me, she didn't have to cry. This is the conversation we had after I told her that.boo ~ pretend you are the kid and I'm the mom.me ~ okayboo ~ so you are me and I'm you. If you go to school, wouldn't you miss me?me ~ of course.boo ~ and when a kid misses someone, they cry, right?me ~ yes. But you will be too busy at school to think about me. You will be playing and learning, and-boo ~ but today I thought about you and missed you and cried.me ~ what did your teacher do?boo ~ she tried to hug me and say it was okay, and act like a mom, but she's not you.Man, I was at a loss. I still am. I finally convinced her to go to sleep. When she said her prayers, she asked God to help her have a good day tomorrow, and to not cry at school.I hope she gets on the bus without crying. And makes it through the day without crying.I also hope I make it through the next 24 hours without what little grip I have on my emotions right now. It will only make things worse if she sees how much this is upsetting me.
