Some days you just Earn it

So today was one of those days. I woke up in a rush, got ready in a rush. Rushed my kids to get ready and rush us all out the door. We were on our way to get pictures.

All morning long I kept thinking to myself “ Why do I do these things to myself?” Life with three boys all 4 years old and under is hard enough, then I do something crazy like make plans take them to the mall and get their pictures taken??? I guess I am just a Certifiable Lunatic or Gluten for Punishment.

We got there on time, we even got there early. Got a drink, got a snack and waited for the doors to open. Yep, Smart Mommy we were the first of the day.

All seemed to go well, got off the first pictures then… it happened. The wheels started to come off. Nate my two year old started running all over the place and getting into and onto everything, Christian 7 months old started screaming and crying and wanting to only be held. But at least Johnpaul, my 4 year old stuck to plan and hung in Thank God.

Painstakingly we made it through. *sigh* Yep I earned the Crazy Mom award today. We celebrated with (as my 2 year old calls it) “Chicken Bock Bock” and went on home. Tonight I see in my near future a big bowl of Schwan’s Peanut buttercup ice cream and a glass of red wine. I Earned it!
