Oh heavens. Today was not a shining moment as a mom for me. Downright yucky because I was downright cranky. I woke up with a burning desire to start a new blog so I could start telling my life story and journaling current stuff. Mistake #1: making a strong focus of something to get done when you have little ones in the home. Without their mom on the front lines, they fought, they screamed,they made a mess. Since I had something I wanted to get done, it made me so irritated whenever they acted up. I yelled. I screamed. It wasn't pretty. But I got the blog started! lol
Starting a blog is so infuriating with what to name it, how to design it, what to write in it. All in all I am really excited. I really have wanted to be a better journal writer. My kids say and do the silliest things and I have forgotten so much by not writing it down.
I completed the beginning of the blog and had no desire to get the kids ready to go to the ward pioneer picnic. But, it was that or feed them myself. So...off to the picnic we went. Faith got to do her powdered doughnut game, Josh got to run around and get dirty, Claire got to be with friends, and I got some peace and quiet from the chaos of the morning.
On the ride home I was feeling pensive about my wonderful display of angry mommy, that I apologized to the kids. I made a declaration to the kids that I wasn't going to yell for the rest of the day, to which I got "Ya right," and "I'll make sure of that." Little stinkers. Oh well, it was my fault for yelling.
With all that I have to get done: studying, cleaning the house, figuring out bills, organizing....I got done a blog and taking the kids to the park. At least they are now bathed and peacefully watching cartoons before bedtime.
