Yesterday was a trying day. I felt like I struggled all day to maintain composure with my kids. Sara didn't feel great all day, Adam's ears didn't work and Lily colored on my new bedding with a dark blue crayon. DARK blue!
Now, I know there are worse things in life. But it's brand new and a golden color, the dark blue stuck out like a sore thumb. ( And didn't match a thing.) I yelled at her to go to her room and then told the boys to go in their room.
( They weren't in trouble, I just couldn't breathe.) I grabbed the ever wonderful magic eraser and thankfully, the crayon came right off. ( Yeah!!!) Lily has calmed down so much from how busy she once was, but the last few weeks with her are turning my fabulous red hair grey. I swear she knows when I sit down to nurse or someone pops over for a visit that I'm not going to be on top of her. She thinks to herself "Mommy is busy, so what can I get into?"
To top the day off, when Todd got home from work Spencer IMMEDIATELY told him " Mom had a freak out." I was calm by this point, but still felt like a 10 year old explaining to my Daddy what I had done that day. So, yes I had a freak out, but everything is fine today, and Lily is not allowed to have crayons anywhere near my room.

Moms need to freak out sometimes. So What... at least you don't throw yourself on the floor at the supermarket cuz you couldn't have sugar in a box with the words cereal on it.
Freak out's are a regular around here...you are allowed once in a while or you would go insane!
I hate it when the kids 'tattle' on me too.
