Yeah, a crazy one.
I had grand intentions of blogging a lot this week, doing my summer reviews with pictures and such, and it's just been a little too crazy...
Like today.
I just blogged a very long post on my day, and then decided not to post it. It was that good, with maybe a little too much whining. That one will just go in the book for my posterity to read. So, when they are parents and about to lose their minds, they can read about when they made me lose my mind.
Let me give you the Reader's Digest version...
Today I was shopping for supplies to fill an order, and it got to a point where I wanted to park the shopping cart with my children in it, in the back of the store and shop alone, or maybe even walk out of the store leaving them there...
Oh yes. That good.
(I already know I'm getting the Mother of the Year Award, so don't even think about running against me.)
And Mallary tore apart the adorable Pottery Barn butterfly mobile that hangs over her crib that I bought for myself on my birthday last year...
And I had to listen to Mallary scream all day...
And...
I'll just stop there.
I just made some buttermilk spice muffins (you know, the kind from Mimi's?), and I'm pretty sure that will make me feel a little better...
That, and it's time for the kids to go to bed...

So I watch and observe all of my neighbors kids and I think, how are they all so good? I think to myself, what am I doing wrong? Then I read your blog and think, Holly goes through a lot of the same things I do too, I know she isn't doing anything wrong, which gives me hope that I am not too. I dare say we were blessed with "Spirited Children". They will go far in the world as long as we don't go crazy first, right? Awwww. So my joy this week is trying to clean up the Pirate Treasure Map Gavyn decided to draw on his bedroom floor and down the hallway. Red and Blue Crayons-- not so much fun to get out of tan carpet.
So good to hear others facing the same issues as I am. Ugh, motherhood is tough sometimes!
Joidee, did you take a picture of the pirate map? You need to send it to me to include in my next Tuesday Tips!!! (Because I will have a picture of a similar nature...)
I personally feel like sometimes people don't want to talk about the struggles they have with everyday life, like motherhood, or marriage because they will appear as not being perfect. I like to keep it real. I want Mallary to be able to read this when she is a mother and realize she's not alone in how she might be feeling, especially if I'm not around to tell her.
Motherhood is the most amazing thing ever, but it honestly makes me want to pull my hair out sometimes, and I don't think my kids are really that bad at all, but it's still a challenge sometimes to keep my sanity. :)
I would love it if you could just park your cart (children and all) at the door and just shop away!
