Hey, I ain't perfect, ya know???

Well, today was one of those days. It shouldn't have been because we started the day off at an AWESOME worship service with wonderful music by the christian band Luminate. Check them out....they are some neat guys. Anyways, Scott was on call yesterday, so he came in this morning, helped me get the kids ready and off to church. For whatever reason trying to get three little girls dressed and out the door is never routine. I pick out outfits, tights, shoes, and even bows the night before then something always comes up. A shoe that was previously on the foot is now missing, a dirty diaper, a need to use the restroom, or this morning it was, "my booty is hurting real bad momma" resulting in a booty inspection (isn't motherhood glamorous???). Scott stayed home to sleep and we arrived home in time to see him off to study. It was hard not to resent this darn test at that moment because I was feeling the fatigue taking over knowing I needed a break, but couldn't take one. Yes, I was beginning to feel sorry for myself. We are both tired...he's tired of studying....I'm tired of, well, holding things together without him and the kiddos are probably tired of me and missing their daddy too. I felt like I was two steps behind the kids all day...literally. The drive to keep up was not there. I was slow to react resulting in more boundary testing and then when I did react...well, let's just say I wasn't that nice about it. No spanking or anything like that, just the impatient tone in my voice was ever-present today. I was just "blah". It is a good thing days like this don't happen very often around here and I'm not even sure why I felt the need to share it...just keepin it real, ya know??? Thank goodness God's grace is sufficient to wash it all away. Now I just need to get off this computer and let Him! Glad tomorrow is a new day.
