hand down the front of my shirt and time to snuggle, chest to chest...too bad she's not in the mood now... or for the past hour or two... i want to shower and go to bed!!!
i had one of "those" days. i told my s.i.l i would help her, but was not in the mood when it came down to it. i wanted to stay at home for many reasons. peyton doesn't nap well in her car seat... when i am gone all day long, the evening is crazy, goes by too fast... the girls don't always get along with her boys... they are away from their stuff and then i have to deal with their whining and that they want to go home... i don't mind helping others, when they are willing to help themselves, and i hoped she had made some progress without me...
i knew, the moment i complained to myself about it, that i would regret it.
and sure enough, i did.
she needed more than just some help painting, she needed someone to talk to. her chrones has been acting up, she is hormonal, and i would hate living married life if my husband worked graveyards and i had his help for maybe two hours out of the day...
so now i feel bad for having a bad attitude.
it was red paint, and three coats later, we are finished!
mom did help, she took peyton to her house to nap, and brought her back over when she was hungry, took her back to sleep, etc....
i did simplify my day by making dinner ahead and setting the oven to a delayed time bake, so din-din was ready when we got home.
so i have a lot to be thankful for:
- red paint is done.
- i enjoyed my evening.
- mom helped me.
- my life could be more challenging.

gotta love red paint...
Don't feel too bad, sometimes as a mom we just need to have a grumpy day.
There is always blessings in our bad day, it's just the bad takes over the good sometimes.
