Sunday Morn

Well, I guess I'm still feeling the effects of my week; I slept until 10:30 this morning. Nate came in to wake me since we have church at noon. So I have my morning cup of joe (Dr. Pepper) and get going in the shower. I'm in putting my makeup on when Sammy comes in all pumped up on anger. She doesn't want to shower. In her 8 1/2 years, she has always had to bathe and wash her hair for church. This is not a new concept. But she is having none of this. She is now crying and working up a good hissy fit. This week I started a new chart to monitor behavior. Each kid has a chart that says phone computer tv room. If they bicker, or they are disrespectful or they don't do as they are asked, I will cross one of these privileges off. If you get to room, you are there for the day. So I went to the kitchen to cross one of these off Sam's chart. That makes her mad. So she finally showers, but doesn't wash her hair. SIGH!!!! And she is just screaming at me the whole time she is in there. I love Megan more. We give Megan all the credit. I should drop her off at the homeless shelter so that a new family can adopt her. Do you want me to???? Careful what you ask for! She is so worked up that we realize that she probably won't be going to church. I very kindly and unselfishly offered to stay home with her while she napped. And yeah, I fell back asleep at noon and slept until 3. Hopefully I've slept it all off and tomorrow I'll have my energy back. And by the way, Sammy has spent all day in her room. She is very sorry and we are pretty sure tomorrow will be a better day.





For some reason today, we had on Spike TV Stunts go Wild on all afternoon. Ever notice how there are never any women doing those stunts? I'm just saying. You just don't see girls putting themselves in hurts way like that.

Don't you just love those moments in motherhood! LOL!!! Well the good news is that you got a lot of rest that your body needed! So I hope that you feel more energized tomorrow!

Yes, I have noticed that!! Is there where we should say? "There's your sign!" haha

Oh Yes, I've had those days too! Grace is on a roll lately. Not sure I am going to survive her!
One of my fav quotes is by Erma Bombeck.."When my kids become wild and unrully. I use a nice, safe playpen. When they're finished, I climb out!"
Yep, that's how I feel!

We missed you at church. Sorry you had to deal with that. Children- got to love them. I hope you feel better- more rested at least.

Mybe it was for the best? A little nappy never hurt anyone.

I used to watch a show about this med. examiner that was a woman, and she made that comment too, about how she never saw women on her slab who died from doing a stupid stunt!!
