Today is just one of those days.
I woke up this morning and felt pretty cruddy. After I got my hubby off to work, I crawled back in bed and proceeded to fall asleep for another four hours.
My sons come running to tell me the TV isn't working. I inspect it and realize that someone has cut the DVD cords and then tried to tape them back together. When confronted with the evidence, my son lied to me about who had done it. Didn't he learn his lesson last time? Apparently not.
Then my other son spends a l-o-o-n-g time in the bathroom doing his business. Flushes the toilet and proceeds to flood my bathroom floor. I shut the door and I am trying not to think about it.
My husband is due home in about a half hour and I still haven't gotten any schooling done for today with the kids.
The only bright spot to this otherwise dreary Monday is that my daughter went down for a nap without needing to nurse! I plugged the pacifier in and lay with her and she drifted off peacefully.
Did I mention I am extremely drained of all energy today?
Why don't mothers get sick days? Why is it that when you feel your worst your kids start acting up? It is like they have illness radar!
Sigh. Today is a trying day because I am trying to not be upset with the darlings, trying not to think about my flooded bathroom floor, trying not to count the minutes down until I have respite, trying to remember why I signed up for this career-choice and trying to not feel guilty about all of the above.
FIVE IN THE POTTER'S HAND

I am sooo sorry that you had a hard day! I would have came to help but I had 5 kids yest... I hope today is bright and lovely for you!
Why does it all seem to hit at once? Maybe so we can get it all over with at one time...?
Are you weaning baby girl? Those were bittersweet times for me, especially with the last baby. I pray it goes well. I did love the paci plug!
