That Time
I know I've read about this on other blogs in the past, but lately I've really been able to notice it. I think my comment to Justin today was, "I think I'm about to lose it, honey." It's that time, you know when everything in your house seems to be falling apart. All the kids are tired because nap time is NOW, there are toys everywhere because dumping the baskets out is much more fun than playing with one toy at a time, the kitchen is full of the mess from lunch, I haven't eaten because I've been busy feeding a 1, 2 AND 3 year old and I can smell a lovely diaper that was freshly filled. Seriously, why are some days worse than others? I mean it really wasn't a bad day...it was just really rough at that time. I stopped mid dishes and put Thomas on for Brogan while I walked Aubrey into her big girl bed (because she decided last week that she no longer wants her crib, YAY!). I came out to change Regan's diaper when Brogan let out a lovely blood curdling scream...um, just because, I guess?! Of course, this upsets Aubrey. I go to calm her and Reagan walks down the hall and starts pounding on the door. I put her in her crib because it's nap time for both of them. The phone rings and Jed knocks on the door at the same time. Screaming is coming from both girls as I search the disaster zone for Brogan's shoes and jacket because he has a doctor's appointment. Soon all is calm and I'm happy to report I survived it, but I'm not sure how long it will take my house to recover.

Bleh - some days are just like that! My Mom says "you're earning your Mommy badge today!" LOL Hugs!
ok, i just stole this from emery's blog post becasue it was so well said:
"I am enough. I have all that I need. My hope is in greater things than smooth days and everything looking exactly like I want them to at all times. God is still good when the baby is fussy and won't let me sleep. Ezra is secure in my love and it's not going to ruin him to have to wait for mommy's attention or play video games for an hour.."
You ARE enough, Barbie, with God's help to complete this challenging task of watching these 3 kids for this phase of your life! As for your house...hehe, that may be another story!!!I know my house will not ever be as clean as I want it!
I am sorry that you are having a rough day. You can and will get through it. You always do. ;) I envy your patience and commitment. I pray that I am at least half the supermom you are. At least it is Tuesday and you only have one tomorrow. Call me if you need anything. You know I am always willing to help my favorite sister-in-law. :)
oH, I hate bad days :(..the dog is like "uh..I had nothing to do with this"..LOL!
First you got new couches? news to me...looks great love the L couch I bet its comfy...and second if you can believe sometimes I can feel like that and I dont even have kids! its like work, and grocery shopping, cooking, cleaning, laundry, work, church commitments, family, friends, work, cleaning...ahhhh and then I am like why am I so stressed life is good but ahh can we get over this...like I go to do dishes and there is no dish soap after working a million days this week at 630 am and doing another project, leading a bible study, doing laundry and all the errons for the house and I am like....you have got to be kiddding me NO SOAP when does it end...life is good but really I need a vacation..and yes I did just go to the caribean five weeks ago but I need another vaca! so you are doing pretty good!
This was me today! I made the choice to drag 2 kids around at lunchtime, then it was chaos from there. I should weigh nothing because I never get time to eat, but somehow Im not! Loved the post.
I think every mom in the world can completely and totally relate to this post. We've ALL been there!! You are doing an amazing job-- I can't believe all the things you do and how well you do them.
That quote Davi used is SO great. I bookmarked that particular post of Emery's to go back and read on "those" days. :)
