Yesterday I:
-woke up way too early with kids who went to bed way too late.
-ignored my kids while I read blogs.
-found Lydia standing on the kitchen table on 4 different occasions.
-yelled at Ethan for pooping (pardon the verbiage) on the living room floor (I know, I know, an absolutely "no no" in potty-training, but I'm at the end of my rapidly fraying rope. Movie Buffs: name the movie that's from.)
-yelled at Lydia for playing in the poop on the living room floor.
-yelled at Garrett for yelling at me to stop yelling at the other two.
-slammed my purse down in a fit of rage (not about the poop, though) and consequently broke my cell phone.
-left my husband at home to cook spaghetti for dinner (again) while I went to a baby shower.
-ran a red light.
-accidentally cut someone off in the parking lot and got yelled at.
-stifled a sob and had to repeat my response to the sweet old lady of a cashier at Target when she greeted me and asked how my day was going.
-high tailed it out of Target before anyone could see me crying and forgot to get cash for the baby shower restaurant.
-planned to go to bed early, went grocery shopping instead, got home late, couldn't sleep (probably a combination of being so emotionally worked up all day and worrying, because I always worry) and finally dozed off 30 minutes after taking a dose of Unisom.
Don't worry. I'm doing much better today.
Except for the lack of a cell phone.

i yelled at jonah yesterday too. he just poops in his undies.
i still think you're great. :)
we all have those days.
I'm sorry you had a bad day, but if it makes you feel better, that sounds a lot like most of my days - we all go through it. Marshall keeps coming home to me and Claire having a shouting match. You're just sweet enough to avoid dwelling on the negative :)
Now that's more like it! I was beginning to feel like a terrible mom because I rarely have good "motherhood" moments (I feel like I am constantly yelling at the kids). Now I know that "perfect moms" have their bad days too! Although I really am sorry you had such a bad day. Hopefully you'll get back to your good days soon!
Movie quote - Is it from "My Best Friends Wedding"?
I am glad you are doing better. :) We all have those days...even if we don't have kids. :) What will kids do to me, ugh! Scary to think about sometimes. LOL.
You TRY, and that's the main thing. Don't worry about mean spirited comments. I really enjoy reading your blog.
Besides, I think the super Mom is YOUR mom!
Laura Leseberg (Kate's mom from Redlands many years ago) I'm a lurker. :)
I am glad that even SUPERMOMS have bad days! ;o)
and I don't think that blogging would be as much fun if we told about all our BAD days. I enjoy reading "All the good Aspects" of your life.

Thats more like it, thanks for making me feel so much better about myself.... love you.
I love you Mary!
I couldn't help but get a little chuckle out of your terrible day. Thanks for not posting any pics of the #2.

I have to admit, I'm relieved to know that you're human after all. ;)
Some days motherhood is such a challenge, isn't it? But you know what, Mary? You're doing a fabulous job- and it's evident in your kids.
Wow-thanks for all the encouragement.
The movie quote IS from My Best Friend's Wedding. Potato Jack is the winner.
So glad you're NORMAL! ;-) Love your blog!
That was one brave email, girl. Somehow it endears you to me all the more. I wish I lived closer to help you clean up just such issues...
You know how to blog Mary! Thanks for the real world of mother honest to goodness comments on your "normal" day. That was really fun to read!
love,
melanie
I'm so glad to know you're human!! Now I don't feel like such a failure. If you figure out the poop thing, let me know. Benjamin was (and yes, I mean was) completely pee potty trained, but he would only poop in his undies. I could never get him to go on the potty. Two trips and a tired mom has put him back in diapers. I really need to get him back on track.
