I am not going to pad this entry any...I had a really bad day today!!!! (Actually my day was great until like 1:30 or so and then it was pure torture!!!!) The kids acted terrible 99.9% of the time after 1:30 and I was short tempered and miserable. (PMS truly is evil!) I kept reminding myself not to raise my voice but it didn't work....neither did counting to 10. I just longed to escape for a moment but there was no where to go. I have seriously considered hiding in my closet for a few minutes when I start getting so ill but they would surely find me and my fantasy hiding place would forever be known.
Everything was an issue today and the kids were being mean to each other, Samuel wouldn't nap, they wouldn't share, they wouldn't stay away from each other but wouldn't stop picking on each other. I can handle all of that but not combined with never ending wining. It seems to stab my brain like an ice pick.
When Jamey got home his mood was slightly more foul than mine so that was a treat for everyone as well.
I hate days like today when I feel so irritable and boxed in. Nothing soothed me or them and we were all pretty much just miserable together...and misery definately didn't love company today. We would have all probably been happier in seperate rooms.
All is great now...Samuel is in the bed and Riley is snuggled up for a few minutes of quiet time before bed...she hates sleep and has to transition into it slowly most nights.
Dear Lord, please let tomorrow be better.
We all have days like those. Honestly the way I handle mine is everyone spends the whole day in their jammies, we watch five or six movies, eat anything and everything (junk food is a must) and if all that doesn't work I load their little hinnies up in the car, crank up the dvd player, run by McDonalds and just drive until I am sick of it. Hopefully everyone (including you) will get a good nights sleep and all will be right as rain tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry your day was crappy. :-(
ReplyDeleteWhen my day is going like that, I call mandatory nap time. Everyone goes to bed for 30 minutes, including me. I set a timer, and if anyone makes a peep, I start the timer over. Sometimes I get a quick nap and sometimes I pour a glass of wine and grab a book to read while I'm in my bed. 9 times out of 10, the worst little booger is asleep after 30 minutes and the rest of us have a better afternoon.
How did your MIL's chemo go?
