Today- I completely lost it and I am embarrassed to share details, so we won't go there. I don't know what's wrong with me. I think Connor figured out how to purposefully push my buttons which obviously shouldn't be pushed. He was SO naughty! Maybe it was all just too much. We've been stuck in this house with our sick dogs and I think I finally snapped. Haylie kept changing her clothes. I have been wanting her to get into dress up for a long time, and when she finally did, it irritated me. Really? What's the harm in a messy room? Most nights before bed, we clean up anyway, so what's the big deal?
The big deal is: every time I would clean something up, Connor would grab the first thing he saw and pull it out, rip it up, mess it up, knock it over, kick it, push it, hit it, bite it and/or spit on it. And then to top it all off... he left me a nice little diarrhea surprise.

And then to top it all off... he left me a nice little diarrhea surprise. I've contemplated getting a part time job many times, and I know it wouldn't be worth it because the money I'd make would go straight to child care. I also know that staying home with my kids is for the best. BUT, sometimes I think about having a job, and it sounds sooo nice; which is why I started doing Pampered Chef. I bought the starter kit and got all ready... but when it comes right down to it, I don't do public speaking. Now, I know it's just a few people, but I'm so afraid of being center of attention. I'm so afraid of messing up or not being able to answer somebody's questions, that it terrifies me. Not to mention, I tried getting some shows and got turned down about 5/5 times.
SO, what to do about the kids? Put 'em to nap!!!
Now, how could you be mad at these? 
Well... as soon as they woke up, we picked up right where we left off. It's been a LONG week. Good thing Joe doesn't have to work tomorrow. My mom got me a facial for my birthday, and I am SO READY!!!

Oh I've had those days! I feel like I may not make it until bed time. But they are so sweet when they are sleeping. I hope tomorrow is better for you!
oh i hope tomorrow goes better for ya! i actually just had a facial yesterday and oh you are going to love. i feel asleep...ahh. have a good day tomorrow!
Cassi, I am so sorry you had a bad day! I had a bad day this week too. I constantly am telling myself, have a good day, you make your day. Don't get so mad at the kids just have fun with them! Somedays it works and some days it doesnt and I am going to pull my hair ouT!
Oh Cassi, I am sorry. I hope that your week get's better. They are cute little stinkers, but man I bet that wares you right out. I'll be asking for some advice on this subject in about a year I am sure! I hope you enjoy your facial!
We are so alike.
I love Haylie's bed. I wanted to get that set for my girls but we got them bunk beds instead.
I know i had one those bad days yesterday!! jenni told me to stop being such a witch to my kids...sometimes its so hard to get out of a bad mood! i love haylie's bed! did you just get it?
Cassi! I have had many of those days! Connor and Gracen are soooo much alike!! But they both can bat those big ole eyes and make you forget it all. You are such a good Mom, don't be too hard on yourself! Enjoy your facial! You deserve it!
"...and this too, shall pass."
I was just thinking the other day (as I had one of these days)...why is it that I cry about my kids growing so fast and leaving me but instead of embracing them while they are young and here...I am busy worried about dishes and laundry and crap that doesn't matter.
I think that day is only one a mother can relate to:) There are bad days for every one, but only a mom really knows how you feel. I am always the sweetest and love my kids the most when they are asleep too - ha and lucky you I can't believe you can still get Haylie to nap!
I don't understand why I have days like this and then have the exact things happen on another day and it won't bother me. You are NOT alone on this one! There are so many joys and challenges in parenting. It's hard to find the joy in the challenge sometimes, but it's still there if we look...easier said than done. For sure.
