Crummy Day...but ended well!

Oh my...if it could go wrong it pretty much did today. I told Jimmy that I kept looking up because I knew something was going to fall on me out of the sky! :) These kind of days are tough and really hard to be the nice, cheerful, Christian girl I'm supposed to be. I mean I yelled at my kids, I yelled at my dog, I probably yelled at my husband at some point (I only saw him for like 10 minutes today, so he might have gotten off easy!). I had to apologize to my girls and explain to them, yet again, how Mommy is so amazingly human and that while she knows she shouldn't yell at them or freak them out with her insanity, she sometimes just can't help herself! I hate when I do that - not the apologizing part, but the nasty part - I don't like that look it puts on my girls' faces or the tears it sometimes puts in their eyes. Breaks my heart just writing about it! So why oh why do I do it? Human, fallible, sinner, all that stuff God said we would be after Eden. Good thing we had Jesus on our side because without Him I would SOOOO be doomed! :)

Here are a few pics that did make me smile today...she's just so cute (and so are her friends!)! This play is going to ROCK - the costumes and sets are so bright and fun and the cast is brilliant! Fun stuff!

Wow! You're the worst mommy ever! I never do that! Okay, you can stop laughing now. I love you in spite of your freak out moments....maybe because of them.

Oh dear. I thought I was the only one who freaked out and yelled at the kids on a semi-regular basis :)

On days like this, it helps to think to myself "it can't get much worse. Tomorrow HAS to be better on those odds alone." :) Okay, so I'm not the most encouraging person, but it works!
