Spaghetti in my sink.

Do you every have one of those days? Those days when all you want to do is hide in the closet and wait for the day to be over, with the hopes that tomorrow will be better?

Yesterday was one of those days for me.

It just seemed like everything was going wrong, even though nothing bad really even happened. I think I was just in a bad mood, which made everything else seem worse than it was!!

The boys were fighting and bickering.

Eli was being fussy.

Jason had to work late again.

I had a ton of laundry to do.

My knee was still bothering me.

My wrist was KILLING me!

{from what I can only guess was caused by

carrying around a SUPER sized almost 20 pound baby!}

And I still hadn't started packing for Disney World!

Then, when I was almost finished making dinner...

{Spaghetti: one of the boys favorite things to eat}

I lost half of the noodles down the sink!!

It was one of those moments when you laugh and cry at the same time.....

*

*

I was crying

{I was tired, the colander had hurt my wrist, and half of dinner was in the sink}

and laughing

{because technically spaghetti made me cry}

at the same time.

I think Henry and Grant thought I was CRAZY, and I'm glad Jason wasn't here because I know he would have thought I was CRAZY!!

*

We ate the spaghetti {it was extra saucy} that didn't land in the sink for dinner. After the boys were in the bed, I ate some chocolate for dessert and felt a lot better. Chocolate makes everything better!

I'm glad yesterday is gone!

This week, I did NOT leave a load of laundry in the dryer. I did not leave it in there ALL week long. Mine and Jason's clothes are all folding neatly and/or hanging in the closet, they are not STILL sitting in the dryer waiting for me to fold them!

I did NOT eat another piece of birthday cake this weekend! I wouldn't eat cake when I am trying to lose weight. Never. I also didn't eat a brownie at the same birthday party because they didn't look really yummy!

*

*

I did NOT put off starting to pack for our Disney trip. I do not have a bunch of empty suitcases with no clothes in them. We aren't leaving in less than four days and I don't have to pack for FIVE people in that short amount of time. No. Because I was smart and started packing already instead of procrastinating!

I did NOT go to Sam's and spend $20 on breakfast junk for our trip. I didn't buy honey buns, donuts, or muffins. I would never buy a bunch of junk food. I would buy fruit and yogurt and healthy food for my family! {Hey, we are going to be on vacation....you're supposed to eat junk when you're on vacation!}

Random Picture Challenge

I am participating in another Random Picture Challenge...this time 3.0!! If you want to join in, go on over to Four Little Men and Girly Twins and link up! Today's picture is supposed to be your 30th picture in the August 2007 folder. We only had 6.....yes 6 picture in that folder!! I know SUPER sad picture taking momma!! But I have a great excuse. Henry was really sick for about two weeks, and so was I. The other 5 pictures in my August 2007 folder were Henry in the hospital! So I figured I would put in my sixth picture....it was as close to 30 as I could get!

Our neighbor grew some watermelons that summer and he brought over a few of the SUPER cute small ones for us! This may be one of the first times that the boys actually ate watermelon instead of playing with it! They had been out in the yard with Jason and were really sweaty and dirty {check out Henry's dirt-streaked face!} Don't you love summer!!
