... a song by Ian White (and I think that he was quoting somebody else).
There are times when simply keeping on seems to be the only way. First born and I had a terrible argument this morning over whether she should wear a skirt or a dress. The evening before, wife lays out the clothes she is to wear the following morning. First born complains that mummy always puts out a skirt for her to wear, when she would rather wear a dress. On occasion, I have gone upstairs and found her a dress to wear, but this time I refused. I told her that the time to make her wishes known is the night before. As we went out the door, between sobs, she said "I forgot."
Sometimes there seems to be a deep sadness at the heart of everything we do, or try to do. Even when we 'succeed', the cost appears too great.
