Big Upset

I was stressing out this morning, you know job stuff and finances. I try not to let money get to me. I don't like it to have that much power over me and the decisions I make, but today I was frustrated and a little upset. Evalie could tell, obviously by the way I was being short with her, after the whole PPD episode she has really understood emotions a lot better. Anyway as I was trying to get a prayer in this morning asking for more patience and endurance, Evalie kept pulling on me asking me what was wrong. "Whaths wong mommy?" I ignored her till I was done. Then I looked up and told her I was a little upset. She said "little upset?" "Yep." "Oh, I big upset, I big big upset." "you're big upset huh, how come?" "Cuz, my castle fall down." Sure enough her pillow castle that I had put together for the hundredth time in the past 10 seconds had fallen down. And to her, her whole life at that moment had stopped. And then I thought well at least my whole life at this moment hasn't stopped. I'm just a little upset.
