it just IS

with two under two, i find myself often asking 'why?' or sometimes, it's more dramatic like, "WHY, OH WHY?" lol. i want a reason. i want a reason for every unsolicited meltdown, every unexpected wake up, every time they won't eat, every time they fight sleeping, why they won't let me comfort them, etc, etc, etc. if it's unwarranted, i want a reason. i often search high and low too. i skim through my books, i google, i ask my mommy friends, hoping i will find an answer. a reason. some logic. i want it to make sense. and i really want to fix it.

teething? molars? four month wakeful period? bad dream? gas? hungry? poopy? can't poopy? too hot? too cold? seperation anxiety? phobias starting? tired? over tired? over stimulated? bored? coming down with something? just a phase?

sometimes, it just IS. sometimes i'm crabby, sometimes i don't feel like eating, sometimes i overreact (hard to believe, i know)....and all just because. no reason.
it just IS.

i thought this picture summed it up all too well....
