I don’t know what to think

I sometimes wonder if I'm really a good parent. Most of the time I'm completely clueless and hope and pray what I've done doesn't scar my children for life.

Yesterday I picked up Audrey from the stables after my dragonboat practice. I noticed as she walked toward me that her shoulders were hunched. She didn't have her regular bounce in her step. I asked her what was wrong and she said "nothing". But I noticed she was not bucking up so I pressed her

Me: Is everything okay?
Audrey: Yup.
Me: I can tell you aren't happy.
Audrey: I'm fine.
Me: Audrey, you look sad to me.
Audrey: Well, I'm not.

Here she burst out crying. I didn't know what to do. I fired off a bunch of questions: Did someone say something to you? Was your horse difficult? Are you hurt? Can I help? All her answers were negative so I just hugged her until she stopped crying. We finally got back to the car and as she buckled up I told her she could tell me when she was ready. She said she wouldn't. By the time we got home she was perfectly fine. Her normal self in every way. I didn't even tell Scott about it. I mentioned it in passing this morning but she didn't say anything.

Should I drop it? I could ask her horseback riding teacher but she may have forgotten by next week. Should I attribute it to hormones? Should I keep asking her about it? Sigh.

Sometimes this mother gig sucks. How are we supposed to know what to do?

She was crying about Monkey her rabbit that died at Easter. Ain't that a kick in the pants? Scott got it out of her days later. He and Audrey really have something that I'll never have with her.
