It's just another Manic...
Thursday? I don't remember the song going that way. Hum....
Still. It has been a manic Thursday. I guess what I am looking for in writing this blog (off of my normal blog-routine) is some release.
I feel like, overall, I'm a good mom. But today has been one of those days, yes THOSE days. Manic is really the best way to describe it! Kind of like the weather today. It started off chilly with spouts of rain, followed by a few minutes of warm sunshine that made you think there was never rain, and then gray skies clouding over again.
One minute I am playing with the boys, they are laughing, I'm laughing. Then next minute (usually after I've moved on to a project, like dinner) they are throwing things at each other, playing with things around the house they shouldn't, and whining about every little thing. I'm breaking up fights, putting one in cool down, trying to listen to one, trying to calm down one, trying to get one to just stop whining. Rinse and repeat.
And the worst part, and I really do mean the worst part, is that my parents get home and the boys are fine! So when my Mom asks how my day was and I say, 'Manic', I feel crazy even just saying it. I mean, there are my little rays of sunshine on the floor, playing nicely and sharing with each other. Whatever could I be talking about...see they're angels!
'It's just another manic _____, oh ew oh. I wish it was Sunday! 'Cuz that's my fun day. My I don't have to run day. It's just another manic ______'

I often feel like that when Alec gets home. Mere moments before he walks in I feels like I might kill someone, and I am wishing he could see how horrible my life is (not generally, just in those moments). But of course, when he walks in everyone is pleasant, and greets him enthusiastically. It makes my retelling of the day not so credible.
Yes, I agree with Andrea. Robert walks in the door and I am about to put my hair out, and he does not understand why. For me it always happens around 4:30 pm. You are a good mama, and we do have our MANIC moments. Know that you are not alone.
For sure you are not alone! Today was one of those for me. It seems Kael is doing this not listening to me and seeing how far he can go phase. I know it's normal, but man, give me a couple hours of some obedience so I can have a break from yelling and time outs!

I'd like to say:
'I'm so glad to hear that I'm not the only one.'
Yet at the same time I wish none of us had the manic experiences! I keep telling myself that I'm learning and growing, just like the boys. Sometimes that works...sometimes I just really understand why people want to drink at the end of their days :)
