drama queen.

Do you ever have those days where you are just plain crabby all day long?  You feel sorry for anyone that even looks at you because you're pretty sure they will get the death stare? Or maybe feel like crying for no reason at all, which makes you even crabbier because you're about to tear up in front of a total stranger?

I was a total drama queen on Sunday. 
If you want to know the horrible truthful details, read on.  Otherwise spare yourselves and leave this page. Now.

I couldn't think straight all morning. I was so exhausted. I had a deep dark sneaking suspicion that my dear husband, who woke up with the kids at 7:00am in spite of falling asleep at only 5:00am and who made breakfast for the family, put two scoops of coffee in the french press instead of three.  That thought bothered me and no matter how much coffee I drank, I couldn't wake up and I was so upset I was literally on the verge of tears all day. 

Sunday, the rest of you were probably tramping in the snow.  I sat in the sand and the sun moping about where I had to sit on the beach (the sand was too wet and the dryer sand was too far away from Greg and the kids.... I know I know.... drama mama).  Multiple accusations flew back and forth about somebody not taking of their grumpypants. And grumpypants are never ever allowed on beach trips. You try verbally admitting you have on grumpypants and see if you don't have to restrain a giggle to keep them on.

I thought I was in a better place on the drive home.  Then, Greg asks, "You wanna stop and get some Bold Bean coffee?" My heart skips a beat, "Yes. That sounds so wonderful."  And of course I couldn't stop there.  I had to know... "Speaking of coffee, um, how many scoops did you use this morning." Greg says, "Two. Why? How many do you normally put in?" 
Sniffle. Sniffle.
"ThuhReeeHeee!!!" I sobbed.
Then he says my coffee isn't better, but it is definitely comparable to Bold Bean's (my favorite coffee place) and that I can even get more than one coffee if I want... AND that he's going to use three scoops from now on.  And sings "Everything is awesome!"

He's wonderful.

Monday rolls around and he comes out of the bathroom and says, "What do you think?" And I see his beard is shaved and his hair is buzzed and I say, "Looks good."
Then he turns around and I see the back and I start laughing."It looks like Wolverine cut your hair!" I can't stop laughing at the gigantic stripes in the back of his head.
He says he's not a perfectionist like me.
I tell him I should let him go ahead and go to work like that.  He says, "The buzzer did seem to be gouging more than normal." I grab an extra mirror and show him the divots all lined up in the back.  He starts laughing and says, "Oh wow! I didn't know it was that bad.  I thought you were just being a drama queen!"
Not that time!
Yes, I fixed it. 

Jimmy just made me spill my wine and jasmine green tea all over my keyboard
And me. And the floor.
Ray's picking up his toys now.

I'm so upset about the bugs. I feel like you don't care or get it.
I don't have to kill 10 bugs everytime I cook:. I'm going to start putting them in your food.
Every one I kill while I'm trying to cook for my family I will line up their carcasses and show you
Tue, 8:12 PM
I care babe.
You can call the complex people

Yep
Greg

Yumm
Greg

And he called and it's all better... of course... because it's always ok.  
This drama queen is glad she isn't one at the moment.... I am thinking maybe I should give it up for Lent?

PS- Sorry there's no pics today.  I was too busy pouting to take any.

PPS- Just snapped this :)

let them be bored

Schools are cancelling.  Kids are home. Kids are homeschooling (at least for a couple of weeks). For those parents "stuck" at home with your kids (assuming they are healthy), I have one request, one social experiment I would LOVE to see play out.  Let your kids be bored! Shut down electronics. Turn off phones. Keep the television off.  Let your kids be bored out of their minds.  After a day or two of whining and complaining that will push you to your limits, they WILL find something to do. They will wander outside and play some ball, or bike, or dig in the dirt.  They will find art supplies and create something.  They will play board games. They will play and fight with their siblings.  They will read and go on literary adventures.  They will talk with you, your family and their friends.  They need to be bored out of their freaking minds before they hit a wall and decide to DO SOMETHING with their time.  Let them be bored and watch them come alive.

hello 2020

Hello 2020, You have already brought plenty of excitement. We brought Cocoa into our lives shortly after Christmas. The vet predicted she'd be 60 or 70 lbs, Wisdom DNA says you're Chow and Chihuahua... she looks like a Chow, German Shepherd, Pomeranian, Australian Shepherd and Chihuahua all mixed up. She's so fluffy!!! We had the flu for a couple of weeks. We didn't go anywhere while we were sick. It gave me time to actually get our school routine up and running. Last year I always felt behind. Not now. Reusable sticky post-its have been a game changer for the syllabi and school books. Chalkboard checklist has been awesome for keeping track of each boys' subjects. I'm finally feeling a little more on top of their academics.  The latest news is that Bernadette has decided to use the toilet. I asked her last week if she wanted to poop in the potty and she said yes. And she did. Since then Toby has been

little prayers

It's 4:30am. I can't sleep.  I'm laying here thinking of the day and what is going to happen tomorrow.  All week long the forecast called for rain. All winter long one little boy has prayed for snow. It never came.  Today there were a few frozen rain drops I'd like to call snow falling on my car as we loaded up for Mass.  The blessed sacrament was exposed when we got to church. One little boy asked to go up front to pray. I brought all four kids up to the third row and one little boy knelt down and prayed. He knelt for a long time. He turned to me and whispered, "Can you ask my brothers to pray for snow?" I did. And he knelt back down and kept praying. We left Mass and Greg texted pictures of Dahlonega, where snow was dusting the picnic table outside his office. We drove to DD in Dahlonega and saw little flurries there.  We drove home and flurries continued. I sent that little boy to play outside in the snow as long as it was falling. "It may be the last
