So blogs perform many functions, right? They're not just for posting cute pictures and highlighting all the good things that happen - it's OK to post the not-so-good-things that happen too. I hate to complain and whine about my troubles and prefer to keep them more to myself but I think that when we do that, we create a false illusion that makes it look like our lives run more smoothly than they really do. I had a HUGE disappointment come my way on Tuesday and I am sad and angry and frustrated and mostly I want to wallow in self-pity with a pint of ice cream and mindless TV. What's worse is that my stress is palpable and it's not always easy to keep it from my kids - i.e. cranky mom emerges. In the space of 20 minutes today, I'd given Erika a guilt trip, made Hailey teary and Kelcie cry. After that, I just went to my room and had a good cry of my own. I hate when my problems spill over onto my kids. Fortunately, tomorrow is a new day and hopefully my mood will improve - altho I'm not placing any bets on it - but maybe I can work harder at not taking it out on the girls.
Anyway, my point is...well, we all have rotten days and today was really one of them for me. No false pretenses with this post - sometimes life hands you lemons and well...they're just sour!

I think everyone derserves a good pity session. And I am sure your girls still love you. I hope everything turns out better.
Sorry you had such a bad day. I think we'd all like to imagine we are immune to any bad stuff. Being normal sucks. That's just it.
If I can do anything to help you find the sugar, let me know. I know sometimes we are just out and there is no more at the store.
