Mary Ellen (the wonderful) watched my kids for me yesterday. Kathrynn had the greatest time! She talked the whole way home about how much fun she had and mentioned (twice!) that Mary Ellen didn't yell at her at all.

It's sad to me that my daughters barometer for having a good day includes how much she got yelled at. :-(

I told her that I wished I could be more like Mary Ellen because she has more patience than mommy. She said "I have more patience when I'm with her too."

*sigh*
