Did you say something?


Today was a rough day. You know, one of THOSE days.... Been up since 2 AM with a migraine headache. Fell asleep at 6:30, Bella woke me up at 7 to have me settle an argument between her and Lexie about hot chocolate and breakfast bars....
I have a cup of coffee chased with a migraine pill and say, forget it, I am going to Kohl's to get my shop on! Got a gift card and they say that shopping releases endorphins, maybe that is what I need!

Due to behavioral  "difficulties", my shopping trip at Kohl's gets cut very short.
WARNING... CONTENTS UNDER PRESSURE MAY EXPLODE....LOOK OUT....MOMMY ON THE EDGE.....
So, we head off to the obligatory shopping trip to the grocery store, no endorphins there, but the power struggle continues, only now, the gloves are off and it is ON like Donkey Kong...
Bella is crying for a bag of white powdered donuts, which, by the way, we NEVER EVER BUY....
Her crying continues from the grocery store well into the car and on our journey home....and the louder she gets, the louder my new Kenny Chesney CD gets. It is like a buffer for "sounds" coming from the back seat.

I never say shut up to anyone, but today, I screamed it at the top of my lungs....
SHUUUUUTTTTT UPPPPPPP!!!!!
Feeling awful, once we are home, I tell Bella, "Honey, sometimes Mommy's have bad days and we can get really frustrated when our kids don't listen, continually cry, ask us for something every 5 seconds and need to poop while we are at the front of a very long check out line in the store.
*****AND YOU KNOW WHAT she says *********************************************
"what Mom? my ears are still tingling from the music so loud in the car, what did you say?"

  1. Maybe it's something in the air today. We have had a rough go of it as well. Luckily Steven is home so I got to endure the grocery by myself. Just think in two weeks the only kid you will have to deal with is me!!

  3. There are days when I would like to hang Jackson from his toes--it happens to even the best of us! Girl, leave your children with your hubby and R-U-N, do not walk to the nearest store to release some of those fantastic shopping endorphins!
