Hey everybody. I just have to release some frustration with the challenges of being a mother. I'm not trying to complain, but hopefully some of you will relate to my evening. I spent 45 min. today making an edible dinner so that our family could sit down together and eat, only have the kids complain that they don't like it, and that they'd rather eat chicken nuggets for dinner! Then Dan rushed off to a meeting. I decided to tackle the dishes, meanwhile the kids fought over a balloon, each of them ended up crying about every 5 seconds. Then I herded them up to the bathtub. Kate refused to wash her hair, and cried the whole time like she was being tortured. I got the kids in their clean P.J's. Five minutes later kate spills milk down hers, and kirk poops in his diaper. I change Kate, and Kirk, then head downstairs. Promptly they both say "I'm hungry". I thought to myself, why in the heck do I even make dinner? So we go downstairs and all enjoy a bowl of cereal. Yes I ate one too! I needed some comfort food for my nerves. I actually took a picture to prove to the kids someday that they grew up on Kix's and rice krispies. I try to be a good mom, but I swear sometimes I feel like the things I do get undone if 5 seconds or less. Well I feel better now, I think I'll go tackle sweeping up the kitchen floor!
P.S. I hope I don't sound whiny in this blog, just needed to vent!

Anytime you feel like trading jobs and working in the GI Lab with big people poo, let me know. I'd take little people poop any day! Just teasing! I know you would never trade! Just remember how lucky you are to be a mom! Hope the car shopping goes well. Are you going the minivan route, or the SUV. Can't wait to find out!
I totally relate to your day. We all need to vent every now and then. You are such a great mom, and if it makes you feel better every mom has their moment.
Love ya
