Grumpy

The last few days I have been feeling very grumpy. And out of it. I haven't felt like blogging or catching up or anything. And I love blogging!

My family was very grateful for this. I guess they were. I've never been convinced that Midol can make you feel cheerful, I think they are like a sugar pill and they mess with your mind so you feel like you are doing something to make yourself nice. Whatever it takes. I had a couple of things contribute to the crabbiness.

This tragedy.

ARghhhh! I love my nails. They are my vanity. And my middle one is always the one that breaks.
I thought I would get a head start on dinner for the next night, so I made a marinade and some K-Bobs. And then I spilled them all over. And Megan being the true daughter of a true blogger grabbed the camera and got a picture:)

It was a long mommy day yesterday. My kids prefer to use psychological torture on each other, but yesterday moved on to the physical. Well I hear screaming coming from the end of the hall and realize that Sammy has pulled Megan's hair and slammed her head into the bed. Thank heaven they were on a soft mattress. Hello? Where is this coming from? This came after I realized she had tried to make a bid on ebay with my account and cut her hair. (She still hasn't admitted to the hair even though part of her bangs are missing and I found the hair in the sink.) Can you say grounded? I really couldn't take hearing Mooooom! again. The three members of the family thought it would be fun to tease me last night, but they quickly realized I wasn't in the mood.
I have to admit that something did help. We had a baptism to go to yesterday and I felt emotional from the moment I stepped through the door. All the bad feelings that I had been struggling with yesterday fell away when I allowed myself to feel the sweet spirit of the Lawsom family. It was a beautiful experience and I am so glad that I was able to go and partake.
Last night Nate and I watched Lars and the Real Girl. Have you seen it? This movie was so quirky and lovely. I cried as I felt the love and compassion this little town had for one of their own. If you want to borrow it, let me know.
And then this morning came bright and early. I am feeling happier and enjoyed church. And I got to hold Baby Jack for most of the time! I pretty much swooped in and stole him from his parents. Hope they don't mind:) A sweet little baby can only make you feel happy.

The kids are being really good today and Sammy must of been acting out from being tired. She took naps yesterday and today and she is as sweet as can be today! Here's to a good week!
