Today has been one of those days...
You know the ones where you get up on the wrong side of the bed & just cant seem to shake that grumpy feeling all day.
My day started around 5:30am with Kael screaming in the next room. And even though Danny's precious mum got up for the first 15 minutes with him I must have needed more sleep because my attitude wouldn't shift despite some serious selftalk.
Ainz & I had a busy morning mediating between the boys at the farm, leading to a abandonment of afternoon plans when my tired Jamin couldn't control his barracuda jaws from biting his cousin. I survived the afternoon with the help of Danny's parents & just made it to the boys bedtime without making too many parenting mistakes I would regret come morning.
Although blogging was the last thing on my mind I just wanted to make sure that mine wasn't a blog of happy, smiling kids all the time.
We have tough, rough days & I make lots of mistakes with my kids along the way. I think that on these days you just survive & try to make it to the next morning to start all over again.
All the best with your next rough day. Hope you survive as well!
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could.Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; Forget them as soon as you can.
ReplyDeleteTomorrow is a new day; Begin it well and serenely,
And with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.

Found this quote recently Al and it helped me to put a particularly rough tough day into perspective a little bit. Hope tomorrow is a better day for you and your boys!
