Stressful Day

Today was one of those days. How many times have you heard that statement? "one of those days." And the sad things is, is that we ALL know what that statement refers to. "One of those days" represents any day in which our lives seemed to be turned completely upside down; where nothing seems to go right and where you simply want to scream until your lungs burst. At least that's what it's like for me.

The kids were super cranky today. Nothing made them happy at all. They were angry and upset and just wanted to make messes and scream and fight. It was emotionally and physically exhausting. Not that I really blame them. The poor little ones didn't get the chance to take a nap because we had to go to the doctor's office for me. On a good note, they were excellent at the doctor's. It was only once we got home that there was a problem.. And so, they went to bed VERY early. Not that they seemed to mind. In fact, they seemed to welcome the rest. For which I think we are all grateful.

Now don't get me wrong, I love my kids. I'm sad that they were so upset and unhappy. But, it is tiring. Sometimes I think we all just need a break. Don't you agree?

i completely understand and agree. sometimes we just need a short break from 24/7 mom to a houseful of bedlamites. if you need a night out with jonathan, we can babysit! adn our double date is still on a raincheck.
