anatomy of a crappy day

someone explain to me WHY when one thing goes wrong in my day, EVERYTHING from that point on ALSO goes wrong. seriously. it never fails to baffle me that all it takes is one spilled cup of tea, 2 pairs of "spit-upped" pant changes, and a set of lost keys to make me come unhinged.(this is todays example) i hate this about myself. i can physically FEEL my bloodpressure rising. why is it that somedays i just CANNOT roll with the punches as easily as other days? why is it that somedays no matter how hard i try to organize it,  we cannot leave this house ON TIME-wearing clean clothes, with our hair combed and having bathed in the past 3 days? i always forget something on those days and have to throw together a mixmatched meal when J gets home because i cannot bring myself to drag the children to the groccery store AGAIN.
when the baby is cranky and the preschooler is whiney and the dog is barky... i have a hard time feeling like this is the job i was made for. i know it is in these hard days when i wanna cry and give up, that God is molding me into who he wants me to be. someone who is flexible. and patient. and loving. and hardworking. and who doesnt quit on the days when a weaker person might. this is my calling in life. at least right now. to be a fulltime mommy to my two little monkeys and show them what love is and what love does.
so i will refill the babies cheerios, scrub the stains out of the heap of laundry, mop up the spills, take the dog out for 8 millionth time and kiss my husband when he walks in the door because i LOVE them all. even on crappy days. (well minus the dog, who i tolerate on behalf of my daughter loves her.)

    UGH! I"ve so been there! It's all about perspective and you're right - we have to just roll with the punches, and some days it's easier than others! sorry you've had a rough day! Know tomorrow hopefully will be a little better. :)
    You're the best momma for those 2 monkeys. :)

what Jesus wants us to do

Romans 6 Dead to Sin, Alive to God   1  What shall we say then?  Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound?  2  By no means! How can  we who died to sin still live in it?  3  Do you not know that all of us  who have been baptized  into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?  4  We were  buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as  Christ was raised from the dead by  the glory of the Father, we too might walk in  newness of life.   5  For  if we have been united with him in  a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his.  6  We know that  our old self  was crucified with him in order that  the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin.  7  For  one who has died  has been set free from sin.  8  Now  if we hav...

letting jillian kick my bum again

in a desperate attempt at finally losing my baby weight leftover from big man i met up with my old frenemy jillian michaels this morning at 6AM in my living room to do the 30 day shred workout. it worked with A and i have confidence it will work again, if i can only carve out the time for it. im hoping that getting my body back on track will inspire me to regain selfcontrol in other areas of my life like spending quiet time with God and organizing our home and trying to stick to a budget and on and on. all great "things" to aspire to, but overwhelming when i feel like i need to "fix everything" at the same time. im not one to make resolutions with the new year. i know myself much too well for that:) but i can start small and if i stick with this working out dealy- its gonna require me getting up early (because both my babies are early birds) and committing to doing it even when i dont feel like it- i CAN lose my extra 10ish pounds by W's birthday. Which was my g...
