Nice Mommy has left the building, taking with her all nice thoughts, deeds, ideas, and hugs.
It is uncertain when -- and if -- she will return......"
Sigh.
Some days feel like that lately...today being no exception.
Sigh (again).
Stuart is away on another trip. It feels (though he assures me it isn't so) like he's been away a lot more recently. Maybe it's coming close together or something...because it seems like we've eaten a ton of mac-n-cheese as of late.
I had in my head all the things we could do this week -- all the things I need to do this week. And it all came to a screeching halt when my temper flared this morning.
Sigh (yet again).
It's not that I'm completely unjustified in my reactions to things. But I get frustrated at myself when I can't seem to stop myself from ranting and over-reacting...and, even more so, when I feel like I just want to quit.
I know from experience that motherhood is full of days like this. And I honestly don't really want to quit or change anything.
It's just in my moment of venting, I'm gathering my thoughts and getting down on my knees to ask God to help me deal with things in a more, well, in a more "nice" way.
Then I'll be able to say: "Mean Mommy has left the building, taking with her all mean thoughts, deeds, ideas, and folded arms.
It is hopeful that she won't return......ever."
Well, it's a nice thought, right?
Sigh.

I have days like that, not as a mother but as a wife, and I hate that feeling ... Watching myself as anger and irritation ebbs, wondering why I'm letting it get the best or me... I guess it's just part of being human. That you notice and are aware says a lot about you... I hope your day is going better, today.
Thanks, Woodie! I'm so glad that I'm not alone. ;) :)
