Today has been one of those days where I have to repeat to myself over and over and over again~ I love my kids, I love my kids, I love my kids.
We have had a rough day. Well Cannon and Mason had a rough day I was just fine. I didn't throw a fit. I said my kind words. I did everything I was asked to do. So the problem wasn't with me. Nope, not at all. It was the boys. I tried to think of every excuse in the world to why they were so off today and I came up with nothing. I had an embarrassing mommy moment with BOTH of them breaking down into tears and screaming to compete for my attention DURING THEIR EGG HUNT AT SCHOOL! Yep in front of EVERYONE! Joy. If that doesn't make your pits sweat I don't know what will. I almost wanted to cry but decided that laughing was much better. I didn't look so pathetic that way. (I think) Anyways they survived and we are off to another day.
I will throw this in there that Cannon has not sucked his thumb in 6 days. I want to blame his crankiness on it but I just can't. I mean I really want to but I think he is just in a funk. He told me didn't want to be my friend today. I was so happy that he is at the point to communicate his feelings but shocked that I was defriended by my own son. Hmmm...
I will post later about his thumb episode. You will be on the edge of your seats I'm sure! :)

As mom's we all have those "proud moments", but no one should ever think or say a thing because just about the time you think that your own child might not do something like that then the reality sets in and your at the Walmart and you find yourself wanting to sit down in the floor and start crying too as one or all of your children have a melt down. You are a good mother who loves her children more than life itself. I love you Sis!

Hate those days!! hang I there Momma :)
We're just starting the huge, all-out, public tantrums. Not fun at all! Sorry!
I am on the edge of my seat about the thumb since I'm noticing that my little one is doing it more and more. Not sure how in the world we'll be able to break this habit????
You handled it with a ton of grace, sister. DO NOT EVER worry about what anyone else thinks. Like Renay said, we've all been there at least once! You are a wonderful mom-never forget that!
Wow, that's great that he's starting the process of quitting!
And, Jack tells me all the time that I'm a "mean momma!" so I hear ya...it's still not easy to hear. :)
