It’s Thursday, and so far, no one has had any trouble with school or Boys & Girls Club. YAY! There’s a reason to celebrate, right there!
We have had a few outbursts of frustration / anger on all sides this week.
I have very little patience, and when there is whining because someone is doing something (not hurting the other), it is highly irritating. I’ve had more than a few of those moments myself this week.
I had to take my warm “calm” drink twice so far this week. lol It’s an all natural relaxer, in a powder form. very little flavor, but it helps.. probably mostly mental, but hey.. whatever works, right? no judging! 🙂 I had honestly forgotten about its existence, until I was looking in the cupboard for something, and rediscovered it!! I have it on the counter for those crazy moments, when I want to lose my S%$*!!
I have 4 wonderful children. That is a fact. I love them all equally. We have our frustrating times, but who doesn’t, in this world of crazy? We have to have a safe haven to go to, and comfort each other, and love each other through all of our flaws and weaknesses. I hope they know that I am not ALL CRAZY. Most of the time, yes.. but, I am working on that part of myself. I have to think outside of me, and focus on them. It’s often difficult with the distractions of dinner, laundry, karate, homework, school activities, meetings, appointments, and schedules…. the bedtime routine. just life..
Being a parent is hard. Being a child in today’s world, is hard.
I’m just trying to survive, and hopefully my children will thrive.
If we have just ONE great week in the month of March, with no one causing any trouble, I am going to say that’s a WIN!
All in a Day
