Today was one of those days!! You know those days! :( The boys fought and whined all day long. And of course, I had a massive headache and several assignments due for my class and about 40 pages to read and laundry to do and meals to cook and.....etc. YOU get the picture. So, now I am feeling a little cranky and blue. i did NOT get everything done that i needed to get done and i yelled at the boys more than i should have. Why are some days like that? Why do days like this come when i don't have TONS of chocolate or ice cream or both in the house? Why does Mike have a crazy schedule that keeps him away from us or asleep 90% of the day?

THEN I WALK INTO A ROOM,
WHERE MY BABY HAS BEEN SCREAMING,
LIKE ALL DAY,
AND HE LIGHTS UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE,
AND HIS FEET START KICKING,
AND HIS DIMPLES FLASH,
AND EVEN THOUGH I AM EXHAUSTED,
AND MY HEAD IS THROBBING,
I REMEMBER WHY I AM DOING THIS,
I REMEMBER WHY I LOVE MY BABIES,
THE HOUSE CAN WAIT,
THE HOMEWORK CAN TOO,
BUT I SPENT THE LAST HOUR READING,
TO AND LOVING MY BOYS,
AND SOMEHOW I FEEL BETTER.
