It's a Small World After All

So yesterday started with, "This breakfast tastes yucky," and ended with, "This dinner looks gross." It was one of those days where no matter how much you did or what you tried, your kids were still unhappy, whinny, and just down right cranky. (And of course it was the day they refused to take naps as well.)

I didn't realize at my moment of pure insanity why it felt like I was running a daycare. Then, I heard the CD player playing, "It's a Small World" and hundreds of children's voices were singing in every language imaginable. Talk about funny! The last thing I needed at that moment was some child from Holland telling me in Dutch, "A smile means friendship to everyone." I know what a smile means!!! And gosh darn-it, we're not smiling today! So don't start!

I actually texted my husband a little before work ended and said, "Just a warning, the witch is in." He was so sweet to hurry home and help, instead of run to the mountain and hide. I had to laugh when at dinner prayer, I literally prayed for, "Peace in our hearts and happiness in our home."

I also called my sister, who is so sweet to think that I'm the world's most perfect mother, (and typically, I am), and that nothing every goes wrong in our home. I said, "JUST SO YOU KNOW...(with my children crying in the background)...TODAY IS NOT A GOOD DAY!! I MIGHT LOSE IT ANY MINUTE!!!"

So, I guess I am writing this post to let every good mother out there know that...frankly... Sometimes there are just days when the breakfast is yucky and the dinner is gross. But it isn't necessarily the cooks fault!
