I am not quite sure how to deal with this?? Last night as I was saying Logan's prayers after we ended. I said, "I love you." And he says, "Well I don't love me." That crushed my heart and soul. Well I continue laying next to him to find out what he means by that. I ask, "Do you mean when you look in the mirror, or you don't love that you are awesome at baseball or reading or math?" He says, "I am weird." I point to myself and say, "HELLO!!, so am I!!, we all are!" He also says that he hates wearing glasses, I again point at myself wearing glasses and tell him that at least his are cool and not the ones that cover his whole face like mine did in elementary.
He is still not cheered up by this point!! I don't know what to do??? He won't talk to me straight. I am tearing up by this point. I tell him his is loved by so many people and I name them and I tell him most of all he is love by God and if he ever need someone to talk to God will always listen and then I teach him about praying. Not the nightly prayers we say (we say Now I Lay Me) I say that every night I just talk to God, I tell him that God knows what we are thinking but he likes to hear us talk too. I told him that he can still talk to daddy and I anytime but if there is ever anything he just needs to get out, to pray.
I am just so worried, what should I do???

Feelings I shouldn't be having...
I get on FB this morning and read that one of my friends surprised her hubby with a trip to Vegas for his 40th. Instead of being extremely exited for her for pulling off a great surprise, she had 3 of his friends pick him up at 4:30am to take him to the airport! I am instead bummed and hurt for Travis that he wasn't invited. Now how dumb is that. I mean it put me into a super slump all day long!! I can't pull myself out of it... (Maybe it is just hormones.)
But it isn't my business who was invited on the trip but I just know the moment he walks in the door tonight he is going to be super deflated and walk around the house moping and I would too if I was him. The 4 men that went are ones that he consider his good friends. He would have had a BLAST! We hung out with them all last week as a couples party so I can totally understand why he would be hurt. It is just like a kick in the gut, because it makes me feel like we just aren't good enough, still. I know once again dumb thoughts but they are the ones I am having... UGH...
Then when they return all we will hear about is what a great time they had and they will have all these inside jokes and just sit there and rub it in his face, kind of like his wife did this morning when were texting back and forth and she was going on and on about them picking him up and how great of a job they did and fun it was to surprise him... I just wanted to either puke or scream or do both!!
