touched by an angel

I've not been in the best of moods for the last week of so with all the errands for the new house and my two little kids entering a diferent phase in their lives.



My little boy Gabriel has become more vocal and adamant in his preferences for food, sitting arrangment, who to feed, when to come out of the shower..... anything... no longer the compliant chubby cub........



My gal, bombards me with endless "whys".. or ignores me when I call out to her to brush her teeth, demands my attention to listen to her 1001 opinions and observations, ...



Hubby experiencing some "tornado" at work so it's been basically me running the home and kids over the last weekend and worse.. he's yet to recover from his terrible eye infection ..



wow. tough week........



Just as I sat down on the floor in the dark living room after everyone's asleep just now, feeling exhausted and down... Gracia pops out of her room and ask her infamous : "why , mummy"



For once, her " why" seems so warm and comforting. I told her I was tired after a loooong day.



Then she said the words that so touched me,

"mummy, dun worry, I help you clean up. I dun want you to be tired."
She hugged me and gave a BIG SMILE.



SO touched and thankful. Felt like I was touched by an angel......=)
