Bleh

Today started off as a pretty good day - I even figured out how to use Skype and talk to my little sister and her husband and 2 of her kids.  But then, the evening went horribly, horribly awry.  My husband wasn't here, so I felt like the mild coup staged by the children and their severe lack of listening skills was rather unfair.  Suffice it to say that the wonderful evening that I had planned (wassail, ham & sweet potato chowder while we cuddle and watch Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium) did not go as I had hoped.  It ended with everyone in tears and me feeling like the worst mom in the world because I expect my kiddos to do what they are supposed to do (homework, showers, getting clothes out for tomorrow) before we do what they want to do.  Bleh.  Actually, double bleh.

Today I am thankful for bowls of cereal, snuggly pajamas and warm beds........and I think that now I will fall comatose into (onto?) the latter.

Oh dear. We tried Skyping you again. That explains it. I am sorry. It is hard when you expect so much of your children.
