I'd had enough
My ears bled from the whines
My teeth ached from the grind
When will this child let up?
I stormed into my room and closed the door.
His dad was asleep on the couch, he'll be okay for 5 minutes.
Bang went the door mamamama went the baby.
Just leave me alone I prayed
He left.
I could hear his chattering and playing, his toy box lid.
5 minutes went by.
I went to find him, I found him playing quietly in his room, it was beautiful, as soon as his ears heard my steps and his eyes caught my face, it started again.
Isn't it funny how soon we look for something we prayed would first leave us alone? Such moments are fleeting but eternally priceless...
