Okay, so I’m sitting here on the bed, it’s 15 minutes after 5 and I’m exhausted and a bit aggravated. I love my children, I truly do. And I know I’m not the best mother, I just hope that I am a good one. But today my kids have absolutely pushed all the wrong buttons and I am just completely stressed. I have been trying all day to get them to do one thing, pick up the toys off of their bedroom floor. And instead, now there are more toys on the floor than when they started this morning. They have destroyed my bathroom, and just absolutely ignored everything I have had to say all day. And every time I put them in time out it only seems to work for a few minutes and then they are right back to their mischievous ways. Normally all I have to do is tell my son that he can’t play his video games and he’ll do what he’s supposed to do, but not today. Today he has chosen to ignore the fact that he can’t play video games. AHHH…. So now I sit here writing this blog while they are in their rooms sitting on their beds (once again in trouble) and all the toys still on the floor. I’m tired. Very tired. And today is has been one of those days to where I just need a nice cup of cocoa, a long hot bath, a good friend, and then a nice bed to crawl into. Unfortunatly all my “good friends” and I have lost touch over the last few years except for one, and even then her and I still aren’t as close as we used to be. My best friend is my husband. And I would love to spend the evening talking to him, but unfortunately he doesn’t get off work until midnight. So I guess after the kids are asleep I’ll have a bath and cocoa, and then curl up in bed with a nice book and go to sleep. (Hopefully it’ll be that easy, although I’m not holding my breath…
