With quivering lips and downcast eyes, I called a halt to the homeschool proceedings (which was more like a circus act at times), and sent the 2 oldest to clean their rooms. SPIC AND SPAN, SPIC AND SPAN, SPIC AND SPAN!!!(I was waving my arms and getting more dramatic by the time I was done.) Then I slumped across the lawn to give my hubby a phone message, slumped back in (picture the loveliness of tan velour pants and a big ripped dark brown hoody- same clothes I got up in, no bra, no make up, no hair do), wiping the tears from my eyes at the same time- the very picture of despondence and dejection. I was just a female Charlie Brown after another losing baseball game. After returning to the messy kitchen, I fixed up a 2 day old burger and hid upstairs to eat it.
Ya know, when I used to dream of my life as an adult, I never quite pictured this scenario. It was all going to be so much more alluring and romantic! Thank God for a sense of humour and perspective!

Oh girl, I hear you. I've been living in a pit for several weeks now, it seems.
(And where on earth did you get that stick person?! Perfect!)
It sounds like it was a day made for brown hoodies and ripped pants, truly. I wish I was there to make you some brownies and groan with you.
Here's to a Super Saturday after Freaky Friday.
Girl I am so sorry you have had a horrible day.
Two day old hamburger!
I do hope things have gotten better.
I loved your little stick figure.
I do hope tomorrow is better.
Stay away from the CHOCOLATE!
Love ya girl!
I have those days too where I send everyone in the backyard (even if it's raining) and throw myself on the bed and cry. Cry because I've screamed at the kids, because they've screamed at each other, because I want to scream.....your just part of the mom-club. If the burger doesn't work go for the chocolate mousse ice cream. That always does it for me.
Loving that illustration. I could stare at it for at least 5 minutes!
((((HUGS))))
I wish I'd read that sooner ('m way behind..
We could have slumped around together and passed each other tissues.
Whatever you do, don't buy a yellow and black stripey shirt.
