Highs and lows

Today was full of highs and lows. I took Helen out to the field and Chris gave her a ride in the combine. She loved it. She thinks she's ready to go to work with daddy. She's definitely an outside girl and she loves being with her daddy. I'm so happy about that.

Here's the part that is a struggle for me. We came home and had some issues. There was screaming involved. And a spanking. So, daddy gets to be the good guy, the fun one who gives Helen combine rides. And mama gets to be the bad guy, the awful one who punishes her. I hate that. I want to be the fun one.
