Today was a better day. I made sure to get up earlier than I normally do. It helped me by putting me in a better frame of mind.
I don't know why it worked.
Maybe I was making more of an effort to be a milder, gentler mother.
I did fail in one thing today though. Brother has joined the Squires. I thought their meetings were on the 3rd Sundays of the month. I was wrong. It's the 2nd Sunday. I will blame the one who is not here for giving me the wrong information <wink>.
We spent some time with a dear friend; playing, watching a movie, making pizzas (and eating, of course). I always feel so calm after a visit with Emily. Thank you, dear friend for having us over. And, Cookie made the most delicious cupcakes (she has a birthday tomorrow).
I'm trying. I know I need to give myself a break, but for me, it's a fine line between giving myself a break and giving myself an excuse. Thank you all for your lovely, uplifting comments.
well..... you know i've been parroting this for years...
early to rise makes for a better mom. we have time to get our coffee, get our heads on straight, time to pray, quiet time...
I know 4 am is stoopid to most people, but earlier and before the children makes a huge difference, even if that means 6:30 instead of 8:00!
I'm glad it was a better day.
Do I need to send Chief back to Iraq to get to play? You "single" moms are having fun!
