Have you ever just had one of those days that you just can't stand it any longer? I mean one of those days, that you just think, "Seriously, I'm not completely sure that I care what the kids are doing today." Welcome to Tara's today.Seriously, I woke up this morning to the mom running down the stairs needing a ride to work. All 3 kids still asleep in their beds, and as I get the 2 year old up, he has well.... for lack of a better term, pooped his bed. Yay! So I get that clean up, and him cleaned up, just in time for the 4 year old to ask if he can have a peanut butter sandwich for breakfast. I say with a sweet smile on my face (fake of course) "Um, no. That is what we can have a lunch time, but it isn't a breakfast food." The mom looks at me and says, "No. He doesn't have that for lunch. That isn't healthy...."
I'm sorry, what!? Seriously? C'mon. You are the mom that gives them chocolate cake for breakfast! (as I am thinking this, she is slathering peanut butter on a piece of raisin toast for his breakfast) So this is what I say to her: "what is the difference of him having that for breakfast and giving him fruit and carrots with a PB&J? Because that is what I give him...." And then I go into the other room. Ugh.
And the day just digressed from there. Pray for me tomorrow. I might not make it through today!

Yeah, that doesn't sound like a very good day! (Now picture me with curly hair and a way better voice:) "Oh, the sun'll come out..."
Tara you are a fabulous caregiver over those kiddos, and therefore a saint. I look up to you :)
