Goodnight Sweetheart

Earlier today Ev and I had a tough conversation, more on that in a later post. That conversation left Ev feeling a bit unsure and unsettled- not that she would admit to it, but she did request a bedtime snuggle and she sat on my lap an awful lot today. Also, she made it very clear that the bedtime snuggle should include a tummy rub. I was happy to oblige.
It was a great snuggle and it was needed by both mother and daughter. However, I am now completely and utterly drained and exhausted.
Why should a bedtime snuggle leave me so drained?
Because it was a snuggle with Ev that's why and that means talking. T-A-L-K-I-N-G.

There were other things but this is what I can remember.
I was in there with her for 30 minutes. Yes. This is typical, this is honestly the kind of ground the girl can cover in a half an hour. That's why I am exhausted.
