So this may sound a little pathetic, but I'm actually pretty proud of myself....please don't burst my bubble.
I was putting Marc-Adam to bed a little bit ago. He was having a hard time settling down; that seems to be the trend this week. I started thinking about how today was actually a really hard day. I got nothing done and I spent most of the day putting out fires, correcting and disciplining (and listening to A LOT of screaming). But I don't feel ragged like I usually do after a day like today. The thought of putting them on the curb with "free to good home" signs around their necks didn't cross my mind. I didn't turn on the TV to attempt to bring some peace in the house by putting the kids in a Doodlebop-induced trance. I didn't even call anyone today to beg them to take my children for a few hours. I seriously think this is the first Friday since Marc-Adam was born that I didn't do that...and I didn't even feel the need to.
And the way this weekend and next week looks, that's probably a good thing, because I don't think I'll have the opportunity to have a little down time until at least next weekend.
This time next week, I may be asking one of my faithful readers if they would like an extra child or two.

I'm especially impressed that you didn't turn on the tv. Some days I feel like that's the only reason I get any peace, and then of course I feel guilty about that too.
Congrats on a nice day! Hopefully today will continue the same way.
i've had my share of those days... and that is so great that you kept your attitude positive through it all-- now that can be really hard! i won't be bursting your bubble-- congratulations!!
