These past few weeks I have not been able to be in the running for mother of the year—or even mother of the week. I’ve hardly been around, the kids have been at sitters or had Nana here at the house. They don’t really mind, I mean, I’m sure the other sitters (who have kids for them to play with) are much cooler than I am! and MUCH more fun. I’ve been at school studying for my midterms and other quizzes that I’ve been plain exhausted every day. Not to mention I watch some neighbor boys in the morning until school, so I have to get up before my kids do. I have been short with my kids, frustrated with my class and taking it out on them. Kevin, bless his soul, has been playing Mr. Mom the best he can. He’s been doing so many dishes!! I am very grateful for all of his help and (ahem) patience with me!!
So..today, I thought I’d let the boys play with flour. I don’t do it often, because it makes SUCH a mess—but I know they needed a new distraction. So at least for the hour I’m trying to be a good mom!!
