It Happens

I went to bed in an irritated mood.
And I woke up in an irritated mood.
Mostly cause I'm irritated at my husband.

It happens.

The kids and I reheated pizza for lunch.
And we were still in our pajamas.

It happens.

I didn't start school with Autumn until after our "healthy" lunch.
And when I graded her papers from last week, I cried.
Today is a day I feel 1000%  she needs to let someone else teach her, cause she just isn't "getting it" with me.

It happens.

I made my first pot of coffee at 2:30 this afternoon.  
Autumn saw me making it & said "mom, it's after lunch".
I've already sucked down two cups.

It happens.

Easton keeps doing this high pitch horrible scream thing.
I run to him thinking he's been gouged in the eye with something.
Only to find out that's his new laugh.

It happens.

I stood up to go help Autumn with her schoolwork.
In the process I knocked my whole cup of coffee on her school folder. The school folder that contains ALL the work she's completed already this year. I have about 45 coffee drenched papers drying all over my kitchen counter right now.

It happens.

Easton turns three on Saturday.
If you know me, you know my kids parties are highlights of my year. Well, I haven't done the first thing for his party .... 4 days away.

It happens.

I sure am glad tomorrow is a new day.
I'm also glad that our lives aren't perfect.
It sure would be boring if they were :)

  3. I am so glad to hear it!!! Coffee first thing is awesome...Mollie surprised me and brought me some in bed this morning (sounds all sweet and all...but the truth was she wanted me to get out of bed before everyone else so we could go over math....its hard for me to do math at 5:45am with out coffee!) Praying you have a great rest of the week!!

  6. Wow, I was there on Monday. Don't know why but I was. My status post on FB was "Sometimes it's so bad, you just gotta laugh!" I try to remind myself of this OFTEN. Thanks for the honesty, it's refreshing in a minister's wife :)

  8. I'm so glad I'm not the only one who wants to cry over what they should've gotten/knew yesterday/will forget again momentarily! This stuff is hard work. Sometimes I have to call my hubby and say, "Who's idea WAS this?" Whew, just good to know I'm not alone. :)
