it’s amazing what a good night’s sleep will do.
i feel the exact opposite of yesterday.
yesterday i stood up in the middle of dinner and left the room and shut the door because i had hit my limit of noise and whining.
yesterday i yelled so loud i hurt my own ears…and it was a misunderstanding – not even over something bad.
yesterday i threw a bunch of toys into another room because i was sick of toys.
and i can’t figure out why everyone else throws tantrums around here! 🙂
today is a better day.
i made coffee first thing. that was the beginning of my downfall yesterday.
i drank the coffee.
i began to clean…get something done before i start anything fun.
the sun is out and shining! we NEEDED that.
we turned off the tv at 8:30. that’s big.
we made play money – in normal amounts…12,000 and 29,105 dollar bills.
the costumes came out…black cat and jedi knight.
the playdoh too.
made many different birthday cakes with real candles (no fire)
i am feeing very in love with mr. duerksen today.
we had music on this morning and green eyes by coldplay came on. while i was singing it loudly i was remembering when craig sang this song to me on my 27th birthday with peter on guitar in front of all our friends. it was so romantic and beautiful and silly. i loved it so much. it is one of my favorite memories. honey you are my jack campbell.
speaking of green…he painted the walls in the foyer! they are a lovely green…pea soup-ish. love it. and he is an awesome painter. perfect. he won’t even let me help anymore…i’m not heplful.
my sister and my 2 nieces are coming tomorrow. and my mom sometime this week.
i should be cleaning.
i did some…the refrigerator…and microwave…but the rest is pointless until my kids go to bed.
so we will go outside instead.
get some sun on our faces.
soak it in.
because it will probably be gone again tomorrow…raining.
traci - THANK YOU for sending me your blog address again!!! Love the fact you let your kids play with playdo…that may sound strange but I have been a preschool teacher for years and there are MANY parents who dont want playdo or paint in their homes (too messy I guess). Glad your not one of them 🙂
Leslie - Loving your blog, it makes me want to be a better mother. I need all of that I can get during the summer! Can’t wait to make the blueberry buckle. YUM!
kristin - i can’t imagine you yelling…i can imagine you giving your kids a table full of playdoh and candles…summer is the hardest time of year for me…tension runs too high…grrrrrrrr.
amy - every wife needs a jack campbell. i love him. (jack, not craig.)
