Some Nights

It would seem that some nights it is just too much.  I'm talking tired kids here.  You know what I am talking about when your kids are tired to a point that they act in a manner that is not exactly pleasing to be around.  I am not a big fan of some nights.  It can be hard to maintain a nice demeanor when you are getting pulverized by a second grader.  We do the very best that we can do to be understanding and patient and full of love and all long suffering.  Some nights that is easy and some nights, well, some nights it feels like extremely long suffering.  Some nights all that your tired child needs to know is that they are loved no matter what and some nights it is pure joy to feel that same unconditional love from them.  I sure am grateful for some nights.
