What Started Off as a Bad Day

Did you know that there was a full moon last night?  Or maybe the night before.  Or maybe this entire week.  Regardless, my boys have been picking on each other mercilessly this week - especially in the morning while we are getting ready for school.  And whom has it affected the most?  Not them.  They've yelled at each other, punched (yes, punch) each other a few times, "MOM!", and ten minutes later, are completely over it.  I, on the other hand, am tired exhausted from having to deal with it.  And I am just a bit completely stressed out as we leave the house.

Today was no exception.  (See above lunar placement in the heavens.)  But it did get better...


Thank you, sweet husband.  Thank you for sending me this beautiful bouquet at school "just because I love you and you needed this".

  2. Beautiful flowers and a keeper of a husband. Whatta guy. Do grandpa and grandma live close by? Maybe the boys need to spend some quality time with them over the weekend.

  5. What a great guy! Love the colors of the flowers. I can totally relate to that morning routine. I always feel like I've run a thousand miles before I even step foot in the office. Shew!

    The comments you left about "The Breakfast Club" made me laugh. Yep, I totally agree!!

  10. What a doll that man is!!!

    Mine have been fighting a ton lately as well. The other day in the store they were fighting and this middle aged woman was staring at them. I looked at her and said,"I'm going to just let them kill each other." Without missing a beat, she said, "Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way."

  16. The flowers are gorgeous! Apparently the full moon effect is lasting. Last night Lorelai called home ALL upset (stupid boyfriend) and got her daddy and me ALL upset too. Then fifteen minutes later called back happy as could be because she'd run over to Starbucks and it was snowing. AARRGGHH!!

    By the way, your Lilly prize is all packaged up, addressed, and going in the mail first thing tomorrow morning. Sorry that I was such a slowpoke!

  18. They are BEAUTIFUL...what a thoughtful man!!!

    Two of mine (the oldest and the youngest were bickering a lot before school and it was ruining the start of my days, Now, if Will picks on KAte before school, he loses ALL electronics (computer, TV I-pod, etc) for the rest fo the school week. it has helped enormously:)
