Pity Party Alert!!!

See that ticker at the top of my blog? It can't time down fast enough. I need my mommy!

Today was such a tough day. It's Thursday - the day I get 3 hours to run errands, etc. Well, I had 7 things to do in the 3 hours and got 4 of them done. The ATM at the bank was broken, I didn't make it to the post office, and I can't even remember the other thing which ticks me off!!!

Today was a tough day because KB pulled everything out from the bathroom cabinet 4,394 times. I used consistent discipline and, YES, I shut the door. I don't know how she kept getting in there but she ate a cotton ball and squeezed a toothpaste tube from the middle. (The lid remained on - that was an attempt at levity)

Today was a rough day because my son pooped in his underwear again. The thing is he tried to tell me what he had done and couldn't. I think THIS is why it was really a rough day. There are moments where I am so hopeful about my little boy and moments where I am side-swiped by the truth that something isn't right. Something isn't right and I don't know where to go and who to ask. Something is wrong and it makes me tired to think I need to find out where to go and I need to ask someone - - the thought of talking about it makes me want to crawl into bed.

Today was a rough day because my sweet husband only got to be home an hour before heading back out to a "God is Great" celebration with his office staff. He leaves town tomorrow and will be gone until Sunday evening.

Today was a rough day - evidenced by the fact that all three of my children were in bed by 6:30 and all three were asleep by 6:33PM.

I look around and there is so much to do and I only want to crawl into a clutter free hole sleep. Instead, I am going to go load the dishwasher, glue magnets on these things for our retreat next weekend, and cut out three weeks of coupons that I haven't yet cut out.
