So the past couple of days, (weeks actually) I have felt like this....
Anyhoo, it wasn't a great day for me, and I was exhausted by the end... I feel like I have been blessed with really good kids-but the past couple weeks have been hard for me...They have been fighting alot more than usual and I have been losing my patience a lot more than usual.. I have known for a month that I am giving a talk this Sunday and it has been weighing on my mind to get it done-but alas I find other things to do instead...(Who wants to write a talk? Not me) I was really set on doing it yesterday-and was bummed at my horrible day and knew writing a spiritual talk was definitely not in the plans...
This morning I woke up, goal in mind to write my talk... I woke up and fed the kids and myself breakfast and sat down at the computer to work on my talk. I said a quick prayer that I would be able to be inspired to know what to write and finish my talk... Something amazing happened... For 3 straight hours my kids played quietly with each other..They didn't fight or whine, and they didn't bother me, or ask me to get anything for them. I was able to write my talk and feel pretty good about it... I think that the Lord knew I needed a break and he was kind enough to give one to me... All day today the kids have been great, no fighting whatsoever.. I know it was a small thing-but I feel like it was a little tender mercy that I really needed....

If it is ANY consolation ... you look adorable pulling out your hair! :) Hope things settle down soon!
Oh good!!! I am glad you had a day of relief. Call me if you ever need to separate the kids, Mique begs on a daily basis to have Logan come play!!!
Glad you were able to get some stuff done and the kids are getting along better. Sorry about Sport, you just need to hire a sitter (it's much cheaper& he keeps his teeth).
What a terrible day, but what an awesome picture! So glad you got a few hours of peace (even if it was to work on a talk) and I am sure you will do amazingly!
