Today has been a hard day. I feel like pulling a Frank Costanza on Seinfeld tossing my hands up in the air and yelling, "Serenity Now! Serenity Now!" I called in an SOS to Aaron today who left work right away but had to stop at Costco, the dry cleaner and got stuck in traffic. 2 hours later I was barely keeping it together. Aaron is my super hero minus the spandex. He made me a pizzadilla (if you've never had one google it right now!), while holding Priya Lynn and he let me sit down with a cup of tension tamer tea and I NEED it people!The goal of this post is to find something good about everything that has diverted me from that picture perfect day I envisioned after pulling myself out of bed in my pjs and bed head to say family prayers and kiss the husband on his way out the door.
- Whiney children- My children have the ability to express themselves. My favorite was as I was ignoring Porter's whining he'd try a different tone of whine to see if that would get my attention. It was like a melody, that really got on my nerves! Still amusing that he'd be clever enough to try that.
- Snotty nose children- They don't have sinus infection!
- No over lapping naps- *Sigh* My children have beautiful blue eyes and I get to see them when they're lids are open.
- Porter refusing to eat all day but particularly the squash he ate wonderfully last night and instead used as play dough-- He was super excited I gave him corn afterwards and fed himself so I could try to put his sister back down for her nap after he woke her, grr!
- Porter waking his sister from her nap--- Priya can hear!
- The kids being so needy I couldn't get any laundry, cleaning, or dinner done.-- They know I love them and will give them the attention they need. I'm not particularly found of laundry so better to spend my day with my cute kids then that ugly chore, right! Oh and I almost forgot this killer pizzadilla!
- Pre-school & toddler class scheduling conflicts-- Dealing with Porter's multiple services can be stressful, but I'm grateful we can afford to supplement his schooling because the school district has really made huge cuts recently.
- No sick days for Mom-- Thank goodness I'm a woman and can keep going because it's just my observation that men don't have this ability like a Mom.
- So seriously PMS was like the kicker for me today. It made me overly emotional, everything felt way worse then it really was and I had to fight that battle all day. -- I can have children, if I wanted to. I'm good at the moment, just in case you were wondering. Maybe the plus of PMS is not being pregnant. Don't judge me!!! Judgers, don't you judge me!
- Porter rearranging my room while I wasn't looking and walking through the door and stubbing my toe before I could switch on the lights.-- Something had to help me let it all go and that did it.
We'll try again tomorrow!

Yes, tomorrow is a new day! Without them, we would be insane :)
This post made me laugh. I've been there, heck I'm there right now, lol. Yes there's always tomorrow ;)
We all have those days. Glad your husband could come save you. I just usually break down and cry which sometimes works because Addi then changes from the naughty stubborn girl to the sweet little girl who doesn't like when mommy cries.
Hang in there! Your totally right, "the sun will come out tomorrow"! Thank goodness for the night time to seperate those sunny days - giving us the chance to have a little time in between. You have such sweet children. Sometimes it's hard to see it through all the crazyness! I wish I was home more for some SOS calls. I would have loved to have them over.
Can't wait to try pizzadilla. Way to look for the positive in a hard day. I'll have to try that next time. I totally need to get together with you and get some advice/just talk about this 2 kid stuff and also pre-school through the school district and what you are doing with Porter. We are starting to think about our options for Kaelyn. Want to have a play date? Or we can go to dinner or something after the husbands are home and have some girl time...Let me know what you think.
