Let me paint you a picture

I have been rushing around tonight, trying to get a a million things done. I tell my 6 yr old, hurry do this, hurry do that. Eat your snack, drink your milk, brush teeth, hurry, time for bed, blah, blah, blah...

We get to his room, he puts in his music CD and looks over at me and says "Mom, are you happy?"

I said, "Yes... Don't I seem happy?"

He said, "No."

Wow, that's how he sees it. Made me think about my behavior and actions.

He's a plain white canvas...and I am the paint....
