Today, I’m not a happy mom! It’s Sunday, and my husband has been at work all day. He will be leaving again tomorrow morning for a job and will return Thursday or Friday. He has been working 75 hours a week, and he was supposed to be off today so that we could go and use our Elephant Bar gift card before he left for the week. The kids were both up until 1 am last night (or this morning!), my daughter doesn’t want to take a nap, and my son is extremely fussy because he does want to take a nap. I never finished my coffee this morning. The dogs are outside barking because it’s cold, but I won’t let them in because it rained this morning, and I don’t want muddy prints all over the carpet. I also have not made it out of the house today, I missed my first Financial Peace University class, and I have not been able to go and buy the Sunday paper. This does not make for a very happy mom!
Despite all that, I’m going to put a smile on my face and make myself be a happy mom! Fake it ‘til you mean it, right? My son finally cleaned up his legos, because he wanted a yogurt, and my daughter is now happy in her jumper. I may be able to finish my morning cup of coffee after all! Yes, I will re-heat that coffee at 6pm and I will finish that cup!
