"Sometimes Little Boys Get Mad"

I stole a moment this morning to upload some pictures to our PC, because our laptop is in dire condition.

But I'll think about that tomorrow.

Abbey saw this picture and immediately said, "Sometimes little boys get mad!"

She's absolutely right and summed up the last few days with one little statement, because if one of my kids is smiling this week, the other seems to be in or near tears.  To paraphrase Dickens: It was a happy day; it was a sad day.  We've had some exceptionally fun times this week, but they've been interspersed with tears and tantrums and a lot of "life" that is beautiful in its own way but makes for an exhausted mom by the end of the day!

Throw in extra errands and obligations (hello taxes) and training for the half marathon and I feel like I'm the Energizer bunny from 6:00 - midnight, until we hit the night shift, where someone needs water or someone is coughing or someone just needs a hug.

Where's the pause button on this remote??

    Oh, even with the mad, that's a damn cute photo.

    PS I want your fireplace. Let's trade houses.

    Ugh. I hate those phases. The only thing worse is when ALL of them are grumpy.

    Thank you! It was a birthday gift. She loves aprons, silly girl. Shirts? Not so much.

    Absolutely agreed. When everyone's crabby, I have to just laugh. Otherwise, I wouldn't have any hair left.

    Done. (You haven't seen the rest of my house. The fireplace might be the highlight!)

    This is so true! I feel like I'm constantly in battle with the "to-do" list and the needs of our children. But, I wouldn't trade it for anything. I just wish I could get a handle on it and let go of those pesky things that make me feel like I never get anything done. Good for you for running a half marathon!

    I have a love-hate relationship with my to-do list :) And cleaning ;)
