Don't you hate it when you plan a wonderful day, and the reality of it is anything but wonderful? It was supposed to be a day of snuggling, playing, reading, baking, watching movies, and having fun. Instead, it was a day of whining, nagging, fighting, naughty steps, too short naps, and general grumpiness.
At least I managed to salvage the last half hour of the day reading a couple of books and kissing the boys goodnight. Hopefully that is what the boys will remember when they dream tonight. Not the part where mommy is nagging them to pick up their toys for the umpteenth time, or yelling for almost stepping on Ben's head again, or breaking up another fight and sitting them on the naughty step.
I am all too happy to put this day behind me and start all over again tomorrow. Tomorrow I will try harder to be more patient, loving, kind, and fun. I will remind myself that I am the adult, and I set the tone for the day. I am in control. I am in control.
I am in control.
I am in...

Yes! I *hate* those days. I am always so disappointed when a day that I thought would be wonderful just isn't! I hope today is a better day for the four of you!

Oh, honey, we all have those days. Do you think we pass them around to one another, or something? You need to forgive yourself and put it behind you. I hope tomorrow is better.
Oh ... I know these days too well. I think Emily is right - they just move from one mom to the next - like a virus. I hope your Sunday is better - and mine too. See you soon. Kellan
Boy do I hear you... I can't stand it when days like that happen... it's almost like I'm not in control I'm just mindlessly wondering through the day. It's good you had a good 'end' to the day though... and hopefully today will be better!
