It’s been one of those days. One of those days that only a parent can experience. One of those days that makes me re-think my pressing want for baby #4 (a very tough thing to make me 2nd guess)!
Nothing incredibly horrible has happened, nothing too out of the ordinary. The minis aren’t playing any louder than usual, but it’s currently causing a headache that’s threatening to push my eyeballs out of my head. 10 hours haven’t been added to the day, making it drag on, but it is. I’m not cooking dinner for an additional dozen tonight, but it seems that much of a hassle.
The puddle on my tile floor turned out to be pee from my fully potty trained 3-year-old who apparently just wanted to see what it’d be like to just whip it out and let loose. The kitchen that I JUST swept and mopped has smeared yogurt and smashed blueberries all over it. The 2 loads of unfolded laundry are staring me down, reminding me that they’re not going to fold themselves. A note has been scribbled in my 4th grader’s notebook from his teacher that says he wasn’t focusing in school today and therefore didn’t finish his work.
To top it off, the hubs is out-of-town for work, has been for 4 days, and will continue to be for the next 2 days.
I need adult contact.
I need my parents to live in the same state as me so they can take the kids for the afternoon.
I need a spa day like never before.
I want to be a calm mom. Say it with me now, I want to be a calm mom.
Deep breath. Exhale. Repeat.
Only a couple more hours until bedtime.
That last slice of cheesecake and a chilled bottle of wine are the only things that are keeping me going.
Here’s to all my fellow mamas out there who have experienced “one of those days.”
Cheers! [hr]

We all have those days! Right now my kids are “playing” the piano, and it’s taking some willpower to not go hide in my room!
