Uggghhhhhh...what a day!!!

I had the WORST day yesterday!!! Maybe it was because I posted on my moodiness, but I sure was moody yesterday. I got in a fight with mom on the phone talking about how sick I get of there being favorite kids in the family...how no one seems to think that maybe I don't feel well (it is always someone else), or that I need help (it is always the spouse of someone else), or that I don't need anyone to watch the kids for me (it is always the daycare). I started crying on the phone and had to hang up. Then, just as I was leaving to cart all 3 of the kids to Hobby Lobby, JoAnn's and Walmart, Mom and Dad pulled up saying they told me they would be over to stay with the kids so I could run errands. I just told them don't worry about it and took off. While at Walmart, they called and said they put off helping a sibling so we could go to church together. I told them I didn't know if I would make it, but would try. I ended up making it and it was fine. I apologized to Mom and she said no biggy...we all have bad days. I just wish they would realize how much favoritism two of the kids get while the other two of us don't. It really bugs me.

After church (which was a nightmare due to the kids misbehaving), was great! We just hung around the house, had nachos for dinner then watched Spiderman 3. I went to bed feeling much better than I had.

Also, noticed something totally gorgeous last night. It snowed and it was sparkly. I looked at the sparkles and noticed that each one was a perfect star with 6 sides...perfectly formed and gorgeous. They totally reflected the light and sparkled and glimmered. It was beautiful! I stood out in the snow looking at it for a few minutes just inspecting the many flakes I could see. I have never experienced such perfect beauty in a snowfall as I did seeing the streetlights glimmer off the snow like they did.

After I came back in the house, I checked on the kids and had to take pics of Ashton who looked so ADORABLE! He had fallen asleep ON his teddy bear. It is the first time EVER I have noticed him cuddling with a stuffed animal and here he was sleeping ON it! It was totally sweet and I am so glad I got pics of it! Can't wait to scrap those!

So, my uggghhhh day ended on good notes..thank goodness!

Woah!!! Moods and more!

Hmmmm....one minute I am blue....the next I am red......the next I am yellow!

Pregnancy hormones sure do a trick on me. The other day, I was sitting at the computer checking email and I went from happy, to angry, to really depressed in less than 5 minutes. It really floored me. I mean, I know that I am much more volatile right now, but I had no idea that my moods switched that quickly. I actually feel sorry for the kids since they are the ones who surely deal with the brunt of my moodiness! They seem to be taking it well, though. And, now that I am more aware of my swings, I am better prepared to keep them under control and not fly off the handle each second. I just hope it gets better and not worse...if I have to deal with another 17-18 weeks of this, it could get ugly!!!!
