I had a serious attitude problem today. I pretty much busted the day for everyone.
Man, it sucks to say that. It's much easier to blame a bad day/attitude/frame of mind on the two year old. But it was me all the way.
On the upside of things, Eve's room is perfectly orderly and nearly spotless. There is some dusting to be done (Hello, New Mexico, please lay off the massive amounts of dust. Thanks.) but other than that small job her room is pristine. Accomplishing that felt good.
I did Judah's room too but his wasn't quite as scary. I have to wash his bedding tomorrow. His stuff is all white, on purpose... Bring on the bleach, baby.
Other than those two things, the day was crap. I hated it. Thankfully days like today are few and far between.
And you know, I have the best kids in the world. I threw myself at their feet tonight and begged forgiveness. They were incredibly sweet to me, so quick to forgive and shower me with love. Why can't I be more like them?
Tomorrow... we may just have dessert for dinner or maybe a movie night. Something fun and light. I think we could all use it.

yesterday was just one of those days for me. THANK GOD they're few and far between. I hope you have a better day today! :)
I call those my bad mommy days. I blow everything out of proportion and unfortunately my kids are the ones around to witness it. I too throw myself at their feet begging forgiveness...they always forgive with hugs and kisses and "that's okay mommy"...God Bless them and that unconditional love! Hope today is much better :)
What a sweet heart you have, Andrea. I think I know where your kids get it.
I too have had the bad mommy days. No fun for anyone but we all have them. Aren't children wonderful with their unconditional love. Today will be better:).
Kids are the best. I still ask for my 29 year old daughter's forgiveness because I still can be grabby with her and she doesn't even live in the house anymore! :)
Quick to forgive. I want to be more like a child in that way too. Those little arms around your neck and the smile that makes everything better. I hope your day is better today!
Ugh. Those days are the worst. I know that when I have them I'm screaming at myself in my head to just SHUT. UP. Good for you for apologizing to the kiddos. They'll remember that more than they will the bad mood. :) You, my friend, are a great mommy. Don't forget that.
I've been having those kind of days Andrea. Hope today is better :)
I'm having that day TODAY like every time I open my mouth I'm like, "Who let HER in again?" ugh
Oh, sweetie. I have those days too. They suck.
I think your idea of dessert for dinner is a great one. Treat yourselves!
Hi! I found your blog through a friend and I just wanted to say that I love your photos and I LOVE your hair!!!
I think we all have those days, unfortunately. Praying that tomorrow is better.
kids never hold a grudge!! it's an amazing thing to be on the receiving end of their grace!

I have those about every OTHER day now (sigh). Kids are so forgiving, if they weren't I'd be in deep trouble!!
We ALL have those days...I had one this week too! I think it communicates something powerful to your kids when you can apologize to them and ask for forgiveness.
I had TWO of those days last week - I feel so bad/guilty that I was so impatient with my kids those days. Thank goodness they love me unconditionally!
Is it awful that I'm not dusting/cleaning my windows/sills - since we are getting new ones in about a month?
