It's been one of those days

How to describe today...

Not a bad day...mostly pleasant in fact..more like uneventful, yet extremely long. It was one of those days when time flies by so fast that you can't really get anything productive done, but now, finally sitting down to relax at 10 pm (actually 11 pm if you've already changed the clocks, as I have), this day seems to keep going, and going..

It was one of those days when everything my poor kids did seemed to find a way to get on my nerves..things like when my 6-year-old whined for 20 minutes about not wanting to sit in the third row of the car for a 5-minute car ride (actually, she seemed to whine about everything today), or when my 8-year-old kept buggin about needing to feed his Webkin for the 282934th time today or else its happiness would be depleted. Oh, how tragic. Or when my almost 3-year-old decided it was a good idea to throw rocks at the neighbor's baby (sorry Ellie!!)...thank God her aim sucks. :)

I love my kids and I always feel so bad when I get snappy with them, but there are just those days when you get sick of hearing your own voice saying "no", and you wonder if they just really don't understand the word, or why they think it means "possibly" or "perhaps if I keep asking."

My kids are definitely very well behaved, good, kindhearted, well-meaning kids in general and I am so proud of them for that. And, though I know days like this are inevitable, I truly hope that they grow up knowing how much I adore them.
