What a weird day....erhm, week!
We've had such a weird week around here. It's been rainy and cold, but I have no idea of that's contributing to the weirdness of the week. It's almost 9am on a Friday morning and my youngest is still asleep. This is going in the record books, because historically, I create early risers! Let's talk about my mommy failures of the week though...maybe it'll help you feel better about yourself ;)
1) I'm sitting on the couch in my pajamas from last night, wearing a sweatshirt over it, with Grey's Anatomy on the tv. Haven't eaten, probably won't brush my hair, but I've fed the oldest.....well, kind of. He's eating cereal. Straight from the bag. Feel better yet? You are welcome.
2) Homeschool hasn't happened this week. 1) My kid is 4 I'm not stressing it 2) He's also had an off week behavior wise and sleep wise, so that definitely factors in. Fear not though, he painted me a giant red painting (red, the color of rage...?) with very little blue in it. He's played with Playdoh. He's had a few playdates. He's played a ton with all his toys. He's good. He's smart enough on his own, some days I fear what will happen if I teach him more ;)
3) My youngest (14m) has bad temper tantrums and throws himself on the floor and head butts it. I stop him when I can make it that far that fast, but, I swear he's going to have permanent bruising on his head from it.
4) I have thought about running away this week more than I probably have in my entire life. And if you knew me as a kid and a teenager, that's really saying something! Just give me the beach, a drink, and some music, please! No? No one wants to help with this dream? Well, boo on you! ;)
5) My oldest is watching Youtube (he's supervised) because he hasn't watched it in days and I'm too tired to adult today. I'll feed the boys, clean up after them, do dishes (maybe...buuuut probably not) but I hope no one expects a deep cleaning, or school more than coloring or painting, because that's not going to happen. Sorry to disappoint! :)
6) Do you feel better yet? No? Twice this week my boys haven't eaten until almost bedtime. Because I've been off my game this week. Trust me, if take out wasn't so expensive, they would have eaten out every night this week.
7) Once this week my oldest (my terrible sleeper-4 years old) was up all night. ALL. NIGHT. He *finally* fell asleep at 4 am. When did he wake up you ask? 7 am. SEVEN A.M. I swear I've been in a constant state of exhaustion since three days ago....and I don't drink coffee! I'm honestly surprised I've survived 4 years with such a sleeper. He also gives me a run for my money in every other area ;) STILL, I wouldn't trade him for the world. He's so full of life and goofy and happy. He takes after me, he feels too much. That's a whole other post though!
8) I don't have weeks like this every week, but they've been happening more frequently, so I have two options...1) kick my butt in gear and change all the nonsense 2) Embrace the chaos and go read books that justify being a crappy housekeeper, or mom, or whatever. I'm leaning towards option #2, if I'm being honest!
There's so many more failures I haven't included, but the youngest is now awake and crying so I'm off to get him. So, tell me, what failures have you endured this week that you'd like to share? Mommy failures or otherwise! Leave them in the comments below!
