I don't mean to always complain about being a mom. I do love my kids and being able to stay home with them but yesterday was a really bad day for me. It all started after I dropped off Riley at school. I took Harrison and Ethan to Target to get a few things and I decided to use one of those carts with the kids seats in the front. I was about done and my mom called (she just got knee replacement surgery on Tuesday and she is my biggest help with the kids) and Harrison somehow got out of his seat and took off, well I could still see him for a minute but then he was gone. I looked all over the store for about 5 minutes then I saw a friend that also happens to me a manager there and she called all the employees to look for me and one to be at the door. I was scared and frantic. Well he was at the front looking at the candy and didn't even seem bothered that I wasn't around.
Then after we got home later that day I told Ethan he could play at the neighbors while I layed down with Harrison because he and I had been up since 5:00 am. Well I guess I was out cold because when I woke up he had the neighbor kids at our house and they were drinking pop and painting outside. Then I found out later that another girl Ashtyn was over from acrossed the street and that her mom was trying to get the kids out so I could sleep then she watched them for a while (I am so sorry Christine). Needless to say I was embarrased about being asleep and I was mad at Ethan for inviting people over and having a pop without asking.
Wait there is more if you are still reading. Later that night when Travis and Riley were at scouts Ethan and Harrison were playing outside and I was folding laundry in my room and I had my blinds open so I could see them. Well after Harrison came in the house after awhile and I hadn't seen Ethan for awhile I went all over looking for him thinking how could he get out with all the locks on my door and fences, well then the door bell rang and MCalle from next door came over and said that he was at their house and wasn't sure I knew he was there. I guess he snuck out th back gate and went threw the neighbors yards. I was so mad but at the same time I just wanted to cry, I have had an emotional day, sorry about the earfull if you are to this point. I feel like a horrible mother and a not so great person lately.

I am so sorry you had such a bad day, and that your boys were being so disobedient. Don't worry about Saturday. I have a lot of little projects to finish. I hope you have a better time over the weekend.
I am right there with you! I've been crying all night cause we had a horrible day today...I sent my kids to bed early, and was just plain MEAN. I know when I get away, and come back, I have more patience, and am just a better mom. I am so sorry you had such a crazy day...you are not the only one who feels like this, and you are a wonderful mom!
I hear you sister! We all have those days! Kids test our patience, but what would we ever do in this world without them. It is only after they are gone that I think we truly appreciate who they are! Love you Keri! You are a sweet person! Don't be so hard on yourself...enjoy your weekend. Wish I could go with you...
