I’m having one of those days. You know, the kind where you get up early to get something accomplished like going to the grocery store at 7am so you don’t have to take any kids with you only to realize a few hours later that you have one diaper left. So, you take three kids to the store, and get diapers and manage to buy 10 other things too. You get home to fix lunch and ALL your kid wants for lunch is pasta with “lots and lots of butter” on it, and of course, you have no butter. And all I can think to myself is “Get your crap together, Meredith”. Then, I remember that I just moved 1 week ago. And, we are all still adjusting, while having colds, and I need to be nicer to me.
I’m trying.
Even if it means that I forget the butter sometimes and my kids are forced to eat a bagel and cream cheese instead (oh the tragedy! right?) I still am taking care of them, and feeding them three healthy meals a day. And, that’s something to be proud of.
Well I’ve been there many a time. I am the queen of being scatterbrained when it comes to grocery shopping.. so far the kids are still alive 😉
Momming in chaos is hard. And no one ever died from eating bagels (that I know of) 😉 Hugs!
We’ve recently moved too. I feel your pain and frustration. Check out my week of disasters and triumphs…learnt my little boy was prone to asthma attacks on our second night of being in our new home. barelyherenorthere.wordpress.com
Seriously! I totally get it and if you’re trying your best, what more could the universe ask for?
Bagels sound awesome. Especially from Einsteins.
