So Emma has strep throat. They've been passing it around at school :/ I just really hope Cody doesn't get it. I can only take so much sickness along with all the unorganized mess going on right now.
I always feel like a crappy mom when I see people post, "I love Every moment with my child. I know people say they really enjoy time away from their kids, but I can't imagine wanting any time away from my baby! I cherish every moment to it's fullest."
I'm dead serious, some chik I used to go to school with posted that. Man, thanks for saying I'm an awful parent for wanting date night with my hubs so we can actually ENJOY our meal. I'm just aggravated at people who think being a parent is so easy.....it's not. It can be so emotionally draining at times.
Don't get me wrong, there are A Lot of good times. I do enjoy my kids, at times lol It's just moms need to vent about the bad to remember the good.

Daily Mom Challenge
I've been slacking on my daily mom challeges. I've been workin on not interrupting my kids still tho lol
We are all home today, minus daddy. Emma is sick with strep & Cody just didn't feel like going to school. I was up most of the night with Emma's spiked fever & then she kicked & smacked me the rest of the night.....motherhood is exhausting when your babies are sick.
But back to my mom challenge for the day. Put away your phone & spend that time with your kids.
This is a BIG challenge for me. My phone is my stress relief at times lol It's my door to the outside world. But I do admit, I spend MOST of my days on it. My kids want to spend most of their time on it too. So it's a big challenge today.

Ask my kids for their opinion today.
It took me most of the day to do this. I had NO idea what to ask them lol
I decided to ask, do you think I'm a mean mommy? Emma just said she loved me & walked away (haha) & Cody said, you can be mean, but you do have your moments where you are not mean.
I didn't & still don't know how to react lol

Today I will not I interrupt my children when they are talking.
I do this more than I realized! It's a real eye opener when you actually catch yourself cutting them off. Ugh....hope I'm not alone on this!

Life
I keep telling myself I'm going to blog but I never stay with it. But here's another go at it.
It's that time of year for Lent. It seems like it just snuck up on me this year. I had only a couple days to think about what I wanted to go without this year. Last year I did pop. I was hard bc I am a big pop drinker :/ ESP cherry coke! So I can at least keep my 7up, I decided to go with fasting cherry pop. Since Wednesday though we've been drinking water. I need to go grocery shopping lol
I recently started following a mommy blogger on twitter who makes me feel like I am not alone in feeling like a bad mom. I beat myself up a lot bc I feel like I can be so mean to my kids when I get frustrated. And most "friends" on Facebook post all good things about them & there kiddos.....just makes me feel like crap sometimes :/ But Scary Mommy has helped me feel not alone lol
I'm tired of not feeling "good enough" for people. Loosing my friend Joe has opened my eyes to A LOT of things. I miss him. I keep saying "i wish...." & I don't want to do that with anyone else. I've already lost too many friends & I don't want to wish I told anyone something or spent more time with them.
