So today was a little crazy. I work a little earlier on Tuesday's so that I can have Wednesday's off. So I was hurrying to get the kids ready and myself ready. I hadn't got much sleep and finally fell asleep about 6ish this morning so of course I slept in and was rushing all morning. So after getting the kids bathed and fed I headed off to get in the tub quickly while they were playing. I was relaxing in the tub and thought how wonderful it was just listening to them play. I finished my bath and got dressed and it got so quiet so I began rushing because we all know that when it gets quiet, it means trouble. I went out into the living room and everything was fine. But there was a scent that was so strong. I couldn't figure out what it was. So I asked Avree. She politely told me that she was sharing her chapstick with Kason and was so proud of herself. So as soon as I knew I looked at him and he was covered. Mango Melon chapstick was oozing out of his mouth! Yep! He had eaten the whole thing. Gross! He then proceeded to puke twice so I was scrubbing the carpet and trying to clean him up. So then after that I forgot to leave the carseat and had to go take it back to my mom who was in Logan.
Thats how the whole morning went! Just one thing after another. Have you ever had a morning like that? Where everything seems to go wrong! I can laugh about it now. At the time I wanted to cry. So are the joys of being a mom. I love my kids so much. I wouldn't trade them for the world and I am glad they keep me on my toes. I am also greatful that my Heavenly Father gave me a sense of humor so that I can look back at these times and laugh. I am sure he does the same thing with us. He is watching us all of the time and wondering why we do the things we do. I guess he knows that we will hopefully learn from it and someday be able to laugh about it.
So to all of you moms out there who have had a day like this! Just know that you are not the only one. We all have them!

Those kind of days are hard! You are right, it makes things so much better when we can get a good laugh afterwards.
I'm loving the books I checked out from the library, you should read them when I am done!
Love this post! I think we can all relate very well. Unfortunantly sometimes I have more of these kinds of days than good days!
I have way to many days like that! It's so hard to get mad at them cuz they dont realize they are making a mess and gonna make you late. Thats a cute story :)
I hate it when the more we are rushed, the more goes wrong. It's a good thing we can laugh!
I've had a few of those days lately. And I have a chapstick eater too. She's 2 and she likes the mint kind. Grose!
I've had those days, though with only one child and that made me want to cry so I can only imagine "/ Your a good mom!
This post makes me feel good about my rushing everything goes wrong days. Thanks for sharing your story. It really made me laugh and think of the times in my life where I've felt the same way. Your right it's good that we look back and laugh at the moment.
Yep! I have had lots of those days! Good thing you can laugh about it!
I like reading about your crazy moments. It makes me feel better knowing I'm not the only one having those kind of days where everything goes wrong. Thanks for making me feel better.
