In a haze

I had a weird start to the day. Jenna was screaming and crying. I thought the world was coming to an end. She wanted her Daddy. She DID NOT want me. Nothing helped and I seemed to only be making things worse. She finally calmed down and doing so did not involve me being anywhere near her. Being the lazy, blood shot eyed mom that I am, I was back in bed as it was before 7:00 AM and Ashley was not up yet. Jenna came back into my bedroom and said she had a bump on her leg. My thoughts go crazy and I imagine cancer. I am barely lucid like I said and I was still confused from all the yelling and screaming and thrashing of arms and legs from a few moments before. I asked her to show me the bump on her leg. She did but I couldn't bring myself to open my eyes. Fear or laziness....I am not sure which. I reached and felt it - it was her ankle. (!!!!) I told her we all have them, it was called an ankle and that she will surely live. She sighs with relief. And so starts another crazy day in Kellyworld....
