Have you ever had a day where you want to stick your children on the side of the road with a “please take me” sign? Am I a bad mom for even thinking such thoughts? Duh… of course I am.
We have reached catastrophic levels of cabin fever (between the snow and rain, we have been in the house for days) and my patience tank is on E. All the activities that I have hidden away for “just the right moment” have been used. Any tricks up my sleeves have been played.
I know these are the moments for “digging deep” to be that great mom with the reservoir of patience. But I feel like I am barely treading on water. If Abby picks up Georgia one more time – poof, she is out to the road with a sign. If Carter looks at Abby again – poof, side of the road buddy. If Annie leaves markers out again and Georgia eats them (they are non-toxic) or colors on herself or the table again – poof, side of the road sister.
My house is an utter disaster. I can never seem to keep up on the various tornados whirling and twirling about. I need to go to bed because I know tomorrow is going to be 65 degrees and we are going to jump on the trampoline ALL DAY LONG!
oh hon, if wishing that for your children makes you a bad mom, then we ALL are bad moms. I've often said that I can't sell my children because no one in their right mind would pay money for them.
ReplyDeleteI cannot even imagine how hard it is to endure cold Winters (and Falls and Springs) with 4 kids inside. I hope the weather clears soon for you all!
Gosh, I've been going crazy w/ Bailee today and I actually lost her in the store for a short moment and a tiny bit of me was like oh well. I don't know how I would do it w/ four under the age of four. You are amazing.
