Cranky Skirts!


Oh my,there were some cranky skirts today in this home! I would say cranky pants but, being a house full of girls minus my poor husband I felt cranky skirts fit better. Have you ever heard the phrase "cranky pants"? I never did till I met my husband, and he called me it one time! We all have just been on the edge today, that's for sure. It first running behind dropping Evalyn off to school. I should know whenever that happens, it's not going to be a good day by now! And how come whenever your running behind, you always seem you get stuck behind a slow car?!  Only to follow them to Evalyn's school, seriously?! The morning goes on and Vivian thinks she needs 3 different breakfasts. This is not a gourmet restaurant, I am mom. That did not make her happy; therefore threw off her day. Now I start getting her "mean face" along with, "you made me sad!" Shes our strong willed child and will push every button like she did today. So today involved crying children, fighting sisters, unhappy baby with diaper rash, not to mention they all have colds!
    I kept telling myself a nice glass of wine and some blog therapy will be lovely once the girls are in bed. Did that happen? Nope! Once the girls were all tucked in their beds, 20 minutes later Helen wakes up screaming. Ugh, I guess some days as a parent you don't get those breaks. Then surely enough walks out the middle child. Not to mention my husband was out picking me up panera. I was going to treat my evening with wine, panera and blogging. Trying to at least enjoy my panera with a fussy 14 month old a 3 year old who won't go to bed, I couldn't help anymore but do the mommy breakdown cry and went to our bedroom. I don't do this often, so my husband new I must have had a rough day.
  In the end, I ended up eating my semi warm panera on my bed in peace. Not how I planned it, oh well. My husband put the two girls back to bed for me, and now I writing this blog post! But you get these days with a house full of girls; can we say mood swings?! Lets pray tomorrow is a much better day for all of us, and for my husbands sanity!

Oh I know how you feel. My son is sick right now so he has been moody and whiney all day. Plus for whatever reason both of the kids have been fighting all day. I'm your newest follower :)
