I got the blues

Well we're all doing great here. It's been a while since I've posted anything. I find that I no longer have the brain power to come up with things to post. Which is really funny because back when my life was mostly boring, I felt I could write all day, about... well, nothing I guess. Now that I have a hundred different fun things going on, I just don't have the energy.
Regarding the title of this post... Anders now wants his daddy and reaches out for him when he comes home at night. Which is awesome! I'm so glad that him and his daddy are close. However, something happened last night that I didn't expect to happen atleast for a little while longer. Anders had a booger in his nose and I am the booger queen. I can't stand them, I've gotta get them out! So I start working on his nose to get the booger out and by the time I do (maybe 2 seconds later), he is screaming like nobody's business. I know that he hates it but I'm mom and I've gotta get them!
The screaming prompted dad to walk in the room, from where he was formerly setting mouse traps (yes, yuck we have mice for the first time). So Anders pushes me out of the way and starts reaching out to daddy like "mom is mean, get me out of here!" And now I've got the blues and I feel like I'm the meanest mom. Maybe I need to stop being the booger queen. It made me feel just horrible!!

...atleast I know he loves his daddy though.

*edit*
I think I need to clarify just how heartbreaking this was. Dad picked Anders up when he had reached out for him and held him for a minute. Then dad had to go back to setting traps. When he handed Anders back to me, he started bawling again and fighting to get back to his dad. That's how devastating the booger picking was.
