One of those days

Ugh, today was just one of those days. One of those days I should have just crawled back into bed and adjusted my additude because I knew I was going to be faced with a load of brick walls. And I had two staring at me at 5am (well technically Dallas was the one who awoke at 5am...Boston followed behind at 6am...details, details.) I think, mainly, the problem today might have just been my hormones, but the kids, nevertheless, were acting horribly. I'm just glad this day is over and behind me. I was just so tense, short and stressed (over what?....cleaning, clutter, Christmas decorations, organization, piles of paperwork staring at me, a mile long to do list.) I just couldn't take it today. Today was one of those days that I should have just been alone, but, alais, I had no choice. I had three children to tend to. We made it threw though. Everyone is still alive and I'm actually looking forward to a better day tomorrow. Sean helped me clean up the house, get the mounds of laundry going, dishes done and a new perspective on life. So I'm looking forward to what tomorrow has in store, and tell the kids I will call Santa back and tell him to give them another chance :-) (Yes, I did fall into the whole "I'm going to call Santa and tell him how bad you've been and he won't bring you any presents.") That's horrible isn't it? I can't believe that clique even came out of my mouth. And as it's coming out I couldn't stop it, and then, mortified that I said it, I stood firm, as their little sad, scared faces looked back at me. It was the first time I felt they actually took me serious today. Maybe I should bring Santa in on all our conversations! LOL Anyhow...they did go to bed with lots of love and kisses, don't get me wrong. I'm not a horrible, mean mom. And tomorrow we will have enought fun to make up for any not so fun we had today.

But we did have SOME fun today! We took the car into the dealership and the kids got to run around in the lobby (yes, this was fun to them) Then we went to Walmart and they looked at all the Christmas decorations and even watched the rollercoaster game go up and down (TONS OF FUN). Boston went back to school and we greated with a very loud group of friends with "BOSTON'S HERE!!!!" He's a popular little boy. Then as we were playing in the front yard after school our neighbors, the Stitlers, came by and we joined them at the neighborhood playground, where lots of fun was to be had. Here's to a fun day tomorrow!!
