Hanging in there...

I had a hard day today. Megan has not been feeling her best, and I have had to hold her all day. She threw a tantrum at the grocery store, and I almost abandoned my cart to go home (via McDonald's for a DIET COKE). I yelled at my girls for getting soaked and muddy in a puddle right before we left for joy school - so we had to go inside and do a complete outfit change for both of them. We were 30 min late for school. My skin is bad. The dogs almost drove me to the funny farm with their barking and begging. During my lessons this afternoon, Megan was throwing tantrum after tantrum - I really should not have charged my students. It is days like this that I think that I am not doing a very good job at being a mother or a teacher or a...you name it! I am so thankful for Michael. It seems like he walks in, and life is manageable again. He calms me and cheers me and chats with me about random stuff. He loves to play with the girls and somehow everything and everyone is happy when it is time for dinner. He is a total miracle worker. Marrying him was the best decision I ever made.

Blog Debut!

Hey All - I can't believe that I am a blogger. I have never even kept a journal because I sound so immature and uneducated. I'm sure I will continue to sound that way - writing has never been one of my gifts. Also, I am a horrible speller.
Today was a normal day. I went to the doctor because I have a sinus infection. I was going to ask him why I am so tired all the time, and why I feel so worn out. But - he was running late, and I didn't have time. His answer would have been to eat better, exercise and sleep more. Maybe Ill try that.
Hannah and Megan were such good girls today. They played toys, danced and played outside. Actually, they carried the neighbors rocks into our yard and buried them, making a "garden". Hannah said they would grow popcorn. Tomorrow we will have to take the rocks back.
Hannah also worked on her letters. She learned how to write E, L and F today. She was so proud of herself...we still need to work on the sounds that the letters make.
Megan sat on the counter while I made dinner. She cracked the eggs into the bowl...she really can do this on her own! She hits the egg on the side of the bowl, and uses her chubby little hands to open the egg. What a darling.
I'm not sure how to end this....Michael just got home from taking friends to the airport, so I'm going to go hang out with him. see ya!
