Friends help each other
Yes they do
Friends help each other
Yes they do
Even if you can do it by yourself
It's much more fun when friends can help
Friends help each other
It's much more fun when friends can help
Friends help each otherYes they do, it's true
We have become huge Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood fans around our house and this little nugget of truth in the song above has been sticking with me this week as I have watched my friends rally around me to help when I became a little stressed.
Last week, was a hard week for me, I had more than one person I love in the hospital, a stressed Mom, a stressed MIL, a stressed husband, a teething baby and Brian was out of town. I felt the pull of wanting to be there for all the people I love but needing to stay put for LL. All of this came bubbling to a head when there was a sudden act of toddler violence at playgroup last Thursday. I finally just said through my tears (by this time the toddlers were done crying and it was just me weeping) I am stressed and I have had a hard time. All three of my friends standing there jumped in to hug me and offer ways that they could help. I took LL to one of their houses and treated myself to a hour at a coffee house to catch up on work emails and update my calendar.
Friends help each other
Yes they do
This week is the weird week where we don't have babysitters full time and school hasn't started my friend, jumped in to watch LL today while I went to work and I'll watch her little boy this weekend so she can get her daughter ready for 1st grade.

I love that God has placed women in my life that can demonstrate true friendship to LL and remind me of what real relationships look like. I had been thinking about my hesitance in admitting that last week was hard when I mentioned it to another friend. She point blank asked me why I hadn't called and told her that I needed help. This made me really look at myself and my pride, Friends help each other....why is that so hard for me to accept and acknowledge? I am not sure why I don't but I am thankful for people that are in my life that remind me of the truth in the little Daniel Tiger song.
