what me ... perfect?

I think not!! People do ask me all the time-- how do you do it? And really I have no clue, but I feel like God has given me the patience to get through the day... except recently--- I have not been as filled up as I need to be and have been in a rotten mood-- Lets take Sunday for example..... this is long and, maybe boring but as real as it gets ....I woke up tired - the story of my life huh? lol. We had the yard sale Sat and it was AWESOME- I think we had people there constantly and not one person gave me a hard time about price (?? I guess I really shouldn't question that but...:)!) then we had a family cook out at Paw-Paw Ken's and bless his heart he gave the kids the biggest Easter goodies/baskets ever- in fact we don't do Easter baskets any more because he pretty much supplies them with enough candy and toys for the year! lol Thanks sooo much Paw-Paw... OK so Sunday morning- Easter all in matching brown and blue-- awwww how cute huh- WELL I DON'T FEEL CUTE!! I feel like shamu ( a brown shamu because my dress was brown...) and the kids were acting up a little - there comes that patience thing that I soo didn't have Sunday AND it was my sweet hubby bday. I got up extra early only to have the boys wake up early too and I didn't get to fix Jeremy his bday breakfast:( Add this on to rushing to church- having to fill in for Sunday school with 18 4 year olds then rushing to get to lunch..... by the time I got to lunch to see the family ... well lets just say I was a bucket of tears!!! :( I felt so silly, so vulnerable, and like such a failure as a mom since we had no eggs to hid this year and didn't even get around to dying any :(!!! So I did get myself together and am sure my family thinks I'm NUTS, but it was just one of those days. Now I see Satan was getting the best of me-- especially after this post I read today by Laura and the email I got in my inbox from Proverbs 31- so just to keep it real I DID end up having a great day with my family just not a good start and didn't want to seem fake with all the Easter pics and me knowing how rotten I felt half the day:)! thanks for reading my story :) lol and really.... enjoy the EASTER PICS-- I do have dome cute kiddos to cheer me up ! :)

Wait... you're a real person? I'm so let down. ;)

I STILL have hard boiled eggs in my fridge that I intended to dye with the kids, and haven't. I suck too.

So sorry your day started off so bad! I'm glad you were able to have a nice day regardless. Don't feel bad about the easter eggs. We didn't dye any this year either. And it was my mom and dad who hid some eggs for the kids to find. Sometimes we just can't do it all!
