So today has been one of those days when you just work and work and work and still seems like you didn't do anything and things don't go as you plan. I got up so early today and got the kids ready for school, walked all the way there and back (is not really that far, but when you just wake up it seems like miles). I didn't have a good night sleep so I thought we could take a nap in the morning and it didn't work. Tristan and Aaron climbing all over me is not the greatest thing in the world when you are trying to rest. My mom sent me to my room :) but I didn't go because then I feel like a lazy mom, go figure. So I gave up the idea of napping and started to work on a bunch of phone calls trying to get a bunch of bills to finally get to my new address because the post office keeps messing it up and since I don't want my brother in law's mail to get messed up again I had to call a bunch of people. Security questions are so hard sometimes and frustrating. I was able to fix everything and by the time I was done I realized the cleaning had to be done still. So I get the laundry ready, put clothes away, and organized the winter clothes for the boys so I know what I need to buy for them. Turns out Tristan and Aaron are set but Victor needs a couple of pants and maybe shoes. Yes I know he is the lucky one that gets all the new clothes and the rest of the boys get hand me downs, but that is how I grew up and that is how it has been done at my house. I do buy them new outfits for Birthdays and Christmas and New Year and maybe if there is a good sale :)
I was so busy getting all this things done with the help of my Mom that it got really late or the kids got out of school early and they ended up coming home by themselves. They were OK, but it is kind of scary to think that some one might take them if they come home alone.
The cleaning continued after the kids got back and surprisingly Shayna did a great job, Victor on the other hand went to sleep instead. Just before we went on a walk I found him on his bed, he was such a grouch and did not want to help clean. The cleaning got done, we went to the park and the kids played for a while, my mom and I walked a few laps around the park and came home. I took a shower, fixed dinner, had Family Home Evening and then watched some shows. Why am I still awake after 11:54 pm, well... I decided today would be a great day for spraying the house against bugs and so I did. Everybody is happily sleeping and resting and I will go in a few minutes and join them, but I just needed to write this down and see why I feel so stressed out. Life is good, sometimes you just do too much in one day, that is why we have 7 days in a week so we can do a little bit each day and then rest on the 7th. I will try to remember that next Monday :)

Your like an instant magnet when your trying to rest on the couch. Your the only thing in the house to climb on! It's frustrating, I know! You should take advantage of your Mom offering to watch the kids so you can nap! :) Dont feel guilty!
