Very Very long post, Sorry i had to Vent!!

Ok so I am not going to be one of those people who writes about their day and makes it sound like noone else ever has a bad day like the one I am about to tell you all about. Because I know that everyone has these kind of days and we all handle them differently. So My day started bright and early right around 12:05 a.m. with brandts cell phone ringing every 5 seconds with alarms and trouble at his work ( he is on call this week so every little thing that happens he gets the call) It actually really sucks but its work and we all need money right? Ok so that made it so I didnt get alot of sleep so I felt crappy when I woke up and just alittle bit pissy. Brandt was at work in the morning and I was taking care of Tracen you know breakfast etc. His favorite thing to do right now is open and close cupboards, (Yes I know i need locks) so he smashed his finger in the cupboard then proceeded to throw his head back cause he was mad at his fingers and smacked his head on our tile floor. He cried so hard I knew he was way hurt. You know all moms know their kids cries are different with everything, I have never heard this cry before and I knew he was hurt bad, it wasnt his normal, I am hurt cry. I snuggled him and kissed his head and off for a nap he went. Then Hallie woke up and I love Hallie to death she is my princess but right now she is getting a little attitude and it started to get bad this summer since she has been playing with her friends who are all older then her and I think she might be learning this attitude crap from them. But she has started to think that she is the boss of EVERYTHING and she thinks that she doesnt have to litsen to a word we say, Its like I am talking to the wall. I tell her this saying my parents used to use with us about how stuff goes in one ear and right out the other. I think she is old enough to start helping us by picking up her toys etc. and just doing what we say but she thinks otherwise. Anyway so she also thinks that she needs to be entertained every second of every minute. So she got in a little bit of trouble with her dad and I today which led to Brandt and I kind of getting into a small fight. Holy hell what a day so far Huh? So I was mad and I went to take the highchair outside to squirt off the food Tracen decided to hide underneath is butt, and on my way out I tripped on the sprinkler box because Brandt didnt put the lid on and I fell and high centered my body on the highchair and faceplanted in the grass. It hurt so bad and I was getting madder by the second and I was screaming for help and i know all the neighbors seen and they were laughing at me through their windows instead of helping me. I yelled for Brandt and he didnt hear me, so I kept on yelling finally he came out and guess what he did, He laughed at me under his breath, he had a grin on his face but was trying to be nice. I was so mad at him for leaving the lid off the box. I didnt even want to see anybody or have anybody try and help me by this time I had had enough. I went in my room and cried ( yes like a baby) but my Hallie came in my room and said "Mommy dont cry Im sorry you got hurt, dont cry" ( See she can be sweet as pie when she wants to be). So anyway I got over that and moved on. Later we went to the baseball field to hit some balls well Brandt did and his fam, I watched the kids. Well Hallie was skipping on the asphalt in her dang flip flops and fell hard and skinned up her knees and cut her ankles pretty good and they were bleeding pretty bad and when Hallie sees blood you better run for it cause she screams so loud it seriously hurts your ears. She hates blood and it scares her really bad. So I ran her home bandaged her up did the mom thing kissed the ouchies all better put good shoes on her and we went back down to the park. She then was playing on the bleachers and fell and bonked her head on the seats almost stopped breathing she was crying so hard. I thought to myself will this day ever end, we cant have anymore ouchies. So we then made it though the next hour and brought the kids home put them in the tub, its time for bed by this time, Well while I was bathing Tracen he fell in the tub and bonked his head and cried for awhile. I held him snuggle him and kissed him also, gave him a sippy and put him to bed and here I sit now telling you all about it. Now as I type this it seriously sounds like everytime my kids got hurt today they were in my care totally. So let me make this clear I do watch my kids and dont take my eyes off of them I love them very much and I dont ever want them to get hurt. It was just one of those days that you think will never end. But I guess it is just one of the trials of being a mom. I truly believe being a mom is the greatest blessing in the world I dont know what I would do without my kids and all the love that we share. They mean the world to me. Just some days are extremely hard but you just have to sit back for a minute and look at their darling faces and thank them for each and everyday even when they are hard. I love my family so much I couldnt make it through a day with out them.
P.S. I said alot of prayers today and I think that was one thing that got me through it so I didnt completely lose it.
P.P.S Sorry this post is so long I obviously needed to get my feelings out!!

I thought it was just Grace that had an attitude. She acts just like Hallie! Good luck! Those are supper cute bows. How much are you going to charge! I love to make them too but just don't have the time!

I know exactly how you feel. I prefer locking myself in the bathroom. My kids think I'm crazy, maybe I am. I just want to thank you for the compliment on my boys and let you know that I am definitely not a good mom. I would classify me as barely capable and semi insane, lol. We need to get together though. You guys prolly don't make it to Utah county that often. We drive past coalville alot on our way to our cabin, it's by Bear River Service. I'll have to meet you in heber one day or something.

Oh Chels I'm so sorry you had such a rough day. I'm glad you shared this because sometimes I feel like I'm the only person in the world who has crappy days. I hope tomorrow is much better :)

Hey, what good is a blog if you can't just have a good vent sometimes. Hopefully today will be better, you are probably asleep so I will say a little prayer for you before you start your day.:)

Chels, I am with Jen. What good is a blog if you can't use it to your full advantage? You are an awesome mom, and those two cute little kids love you!!! I am so amazed with all that you do during the day, and the fun times that you have with your kids. Remember we are all in this together. Thinking about you today, hope it is better - shopping always helps me :) Ofcourse I still have to take my little hoodlems!!
