Just in time for St. Patrick's day! I found this a few days ago while going to our garage. That's right, a FOUR leaf clover. I have never actually found one before. This is a first. I was so proud...I rushed back inside and told Evan to check it out. I haven't actually picked it. But I feel like if anything it has brought me bad luck (I told Ev tonight that he should pick it and take it with him tomorrow to take his test...hopefully it will bring him some luck)!!!
Today...today was interesting. It started off bad. I did NOT want to get out of bed. I can be pretty grumpy when I'm tired. And today was one of them. I just couldn't get with it for some reason. I really wanted to keep sleeping. I pulled the sheet over my head when the kids woke up. Thankfully, Ev gave me a few minutes to wake up. After looking back at the events of today, I know why I wanted to stay in bed...there were way too many crazy events for one day! Just to list a couple...two glass objects shattered (at two different times) which led to sweeping multiple times before 10 am followed by mopping, which I had just done about 15 hours before. I have to admit, my kitchen floor is clean! I also felt like my kids were crazy out of control too. More so Brampton, especially during the presidency meeting we had at our house (he decided to push my friend's daughter for no reason and throw different objects to get attention). I just don't know how to handle him and his behavior at times. It also doesn't help that this week is a test week for Evan. That always makes our schedules a little different. To top it all off, I had something traumatizing happen for the first time as a mother (that I am choosing not to blog about). And because I am sure I'll always remember this day, I want to remind myself of what I have learned (thanks to a lot of humility). I LOVE my two boys. Remember to always pray for them and to always be worthy of the companionship of the Holy Ghost. As a mother, I truly need to listen and act upon special promptings that I am given to guide and protect them.
"You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep a record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. Some may be significant only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experience."

Wow, a four leaf clover!!! Yesterday I was in a bad mood all day too.. maybe that was like our Friday the 13th and today will be good!
Hey Steph! Sorry you had to deal with one of THOSE days, ugh. I totally hear you on not knowing how best to deal with their behavior at times. If it makes you feel any better today I took all the kids to a music class thing and Ben would not stay in the room (kept running out the door) meanwhile Ashley is screaming b/c she's tired and won't go to sleep and Jaime is too distracted by Ben so she starts behaving like Ben. And nothing I did discipline wise changed Ben's behavior, so we had to leave. After we got home things didn't get better, and they were in their beds for nap time at 11:30 AM, haha. Just remember you're doing a great job!!
Did you wake up in my life? I know those kind of days suck!
