We just got home from a super fun trip to So Cal and Las Vegas! Troy and my brother Jeremy did the Pumpkinman Triathlon (Troy’s 2nd post Achilles rupture race). They did great! (I will never do this triathlon – the course is BRUTAL!) We had tons of fun! More on that later. For now we’ll just say
Happy Halloween!
Hope you have a SPOOKY weekend!
I’m the one in the slump. No good reason. Well, maybe a good reason, but a vain selfish reason… I look like a M O M. I do not look like I thought I would after having kids and it bothers me more than I thought it would! I know! Totally vain!
Note to self – Snap out of it!
However… I know that I need to count my blessings and keep and eternal perspective. The best thing in my life is my family and I am so blessed to have my little monkeys! They are amazing! How lucky can I be to get to be their mom? It’s what keeps me going every day!
Today this little girl had a complete and total meltdown that lasted 18 minutes. I am not kidding! Slobber, snot and tears. She would not be consoled. She would not settle down no matter what I tried and if I moved her she would come back and stand right in front of me, stare me down and keep on going. If I tried to pick her up she would arch back and fall on the floor. It was painful for both of us and it went on FOREVER! Honestly, I don’t even know what started it. So later, when she wouldn’t eat her dinner, and her brothers had finished theirs and got their donuts for desert, and I told her no until she ate her dinner, and she looked like she was warming up for round two… I gave her donuts for dinner. Sometimes it’s hard to be a girl… I understand… I would like donuts for dinner every night!
