Today started off pretty well. I was snuggling with my boys. We just moved into our new house. I get a little disoriented and fatigued by the physical change of moving to a new house. Most people might think I am a pro at moving by now, but I am probably one of the worst types of people to  move. 

Anyway, today started off decent. I only work Monday through Wednesday now so my boys are home with me the rest of the week. Of course my oldest had to say while he was snuggling with me this morning that he would rather go to school 5 days a week. Way to make me feel awful, but I know he didn’t mean to stick a dagger in my heart.

Since I didn’t wake up before the boys, I wasn’t dressed yet. Of course while I am getting dressed they managed to unroll most of a paper towel roll for a “road” which was cute, but they also managed to break a piece of the ottoman that keeps it from opening all the way.

They definitely punish me when I don’t have eyes on them. It’s like they say to each other what can we possibly do to destroy at least one thing in under 10 seconds?

Anyway, my oldes has Safety Town this week, and today I didn’t have to drop him off, drive 30 minutes to work, drive back to pick him up to take him to school. Needless to say it has been a long week. Today I was able to spend 2 hours of mommy and Jackson time while Aiden was at his class. I even managed to give Jackson a bath during that time, and we made cookies. 

After we picked up my oldest, we played on the playground for a little bit before lunch.

After we got home, it seems the day continued like my early ottoman story except they wasn’t anything else destroyed.

It was just a hard day. I need to remind myself that everything is new for my boys too.

I only let them watch one show, but maybe we all would have been happier with a movie.

I know tomorrow will be a better day but today was one of those days I would like to do over again. 

I know I’m not the only one who has days like this, but I am proud of myself for getting on my elliptical in the basement and working out for an hour. I still might eat a small bowl of ice cream (okay, maybe a medium size one) but I will have more sanity now, I think. 

The day might have felt chaotic and not great but it ended with my sweet boys falling asleep in my arms. My boys might drive me crazy at times, but I love them to pieces.
