"...if I ever go looking for my heart's desire again, I won't look any further than my own back yard. Because if it isn't there, I never really lost it to begin with! Is that right?"

Dorothy, Wizard of Oz

Instead of submerging myself into a sea of "poor me, stuck with my kids" in a negative way, I decided to make today the 'funnest' day ever. I thought about all of the days I was at work and wishing I was home with the boys. I looked at the boys and realized time was against me. They're getting older and Mom is growing into a bigger pain in the ass every second.

Big breakfast: eggs, cheese biscuits and regular biscuits.

Watched a Scooby Doo Movie.

Had lunch, practiced dancing to YMCA, macarena, cha cha slide for school dance tomorrow.

Made playdough, (which was so easy) and built an army for each child. Taught Xavier how to make a ball into a monster. That was 2 hours.

We all cleaned up, they each played in their rooms. I cleaned up the kitchen.

Played choo choo on the chairs and I was the tunnel (pulled a huge comforter over their heads) which led us to

Building a giant fort in the living room. They had snack in the fort. They played and played in that. I was able to get a little crocheting done. Then I cleaned the bathrooms, did some laundry before J came home and I went to work.

I had so much fun with them today. I think I learned a little today about being a better Mom. I learned that when I'm feeling down and stressed I should be pulling them closer and finding peace with them instead of turning it back on them. I'm so lucky I had them to myself today!
