Day 5 & 6

I don't this is how it is supposed to work.  I am supposed to be journaling every day, not waiting for a non-crazy moment (because they don't exhist).  I guess since I wrote a journal late on Saturday for Friday and then the weekend came, I got back logged, but that is NOT an excuse. 

Well, I guess it is, but I am still working on the excuse thing.  At least now, when I am explaining to Matt, a friend or myself about why something didn't get done, I hear this little voice saying, "that is a direct violation to rule #2".  This is a work in progress.

Day 5 and 6 were crazy, non-normal days.  I have chosen not to develop a strict schedule, but this may have bitten me in the butt.  Saturday was Jonathan's 4th birthday. We already celebrated with a party last weekend, but I still wanted to do something special.  I got up before Matt did so I could get a quiet shower.  they are hard to come by, but it was worth the sacrifice of more sleep to have no one screaming in the background and coming in to tattle tail.  We joined the MOPS group to eat pancakes at Applebee's and then went to the Earth Day celebration at the Schiele Musuem.  My in-laws joined me, since Matt was working.  This was extremely helpful, since my children decided not to listen or behave at the museum.  Matt met up with us for a quick lunch at McDonald's before we were off to meet the "real" Spiderman at the new Toys'R'Us in Gastonia.  Needless to say, I crammed WAY too much into 6 hours.  My kids were exhausted and so was I.  When I came home, it was all I could do not to nap for hours.  Thankfully, the kitchen was still clean from the night before, since we had eaten out for breakfast and lunch.

Sunday morning, I woke up with no motivation.  It was a blah day for me.  The kids were getting on my nerves; fighting and arguing about EVERYTHING.  Thankfully Matt was home to help, but still it was a battle all day.  PLUS, I was OUT of creamer for my coffee and that didn't help.  We finally made it to church and heard a great sermon, which was really uplifting.  But, that was the highlight of the day.  We went straight to a birthday party and it was hot as blazes.  The kids were cranky and tired when we got home and somehow my house looked awful.  I had worked all week last week, making lists of things to clean and organize and was doing such a great job of following all of my rules and then this blah Sunday came and it was out the window.  I fought two sassy children all weekend and they wore me out!

To top it off we went to dinner last night and Matt and I ended up getting sick as dogs!

Needless to say, I didn't read my bible reading plan last night with Matt, I didn't pray with my children and I woke to a difficult day.

Onward March...
