Tales of the Mommy Formerly Known As Grouchy

So..... this morning I wake up do a little homework before getting ready for work, my precious family are all sound asleep, looking like the angelic angels they are. It's time to for everyone to wake up now. Some you have to call once others three times before they you have to literally drag them outta bed. Something's festering..... Pleading for them to get ready so that they won't get in trouble, someone can't find socks, somebody else can't find a shoe, then it's "Ma, where are my shorts?" Is it getting hot in here...... Clothes strawn all over the floor, "please be still so I can fix your hair", I say. Oh lawd where's the time gone?? Okay, now in the midst of the hot, festering agitation, I'm running late..... Downstairs I go....STOP!!! WTH (and the h is for heaven, I might add) has happened down here??? In the kitchen....STOP!!! WTH (again heaven) has happened in here?? Festering, hot, late, now pissed..... A little of this, a little of that, to make it nice enough to clean when I return from my 8 hour day at work, coming quietly in the kitchen a little person has sensed mommy's frustrations and has come to my aid :-) ahhh how I needed that Slamming the door, I leave..festering, hot, agitated, running late, grouchy and now guilty as I've realized I haven't told my babies I loved them or given them kisses or prayed over them Mommys out there in MommyLand, these things happen daily, women who are not mothers may not appreciate or understand, husbands are literally CLUELESS because they have no way of knowing or understanding the role of a mother but many are quick to chime in on how you SHOULD be doing things (which I might add is, I'm almost certain, grounds for murder..okay maybe not murder but something)It is perfectly okay to leave your families crap where it may lay, it's okay to leave those dishes in the sink, it's okay to walk on that mound of clothes and look at that piece of trash on the floor that's been there for 5 days and apparently no on else has seen it...hummm. Because if you don't, you will allow your mornings to become as mine was today. Start you day off with speaking to the Father BEFORE you do anything else (humph I didn't do that this morning) and I guarantee, your day will be so much better! And don't forget to pray and over for your husband and children <3 All my love, The Mommy Formerly Know As Grouchy Ecclesiastes 7:14 When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider: God has made the one as well as the other.
