Today was a better day.  I made sure to get up earlier than I normally do.  It helped me by putting me in a better frame of mind.

I don't know why it worked.

Maybe I was making more of an effort to be a milder, gentler mother.

I did fail in one thing today though.  Brother has joined the Squires.  I thought their meetings were on the 3rd Sundays of the month.  I was wrong.  It's the 2nd Sunday.  I will blame the one who is not here for giving me the wrong information <wink>.

We spent some time with a dear friend; playing, watching a movie, making pizzas (and eating, of course).  I always feel so calm after a visit with Emily.  Thank you, dear friend for having us over.  And, Cookie made the most delicious cupcakes (she has a birthday tomorrow).  

I'm trying.  I know I need to give myself a break, but for me, it's a fine line between giving myself a break and giving myself an excuse.  Thank you all for your lovely, uplifting comments.

    well….. you know i’ve been parroting this for years…
    early to rise makes for a better mom. we have time to get our coffee, get our heads on straight, time to pray, quiet time…
    I know 4 am is stoopid to most people, but earlier and before the children makes a huge difference, even if that means 6:30 instead of 8:00!
    I’m glad it was a better day.
    Do I need to send Chief back to Iraq to get to play? You “single” moms are having fun!
