Still moving

So we are officially "in" our new house, but we are living out of boxes. Lots of furniture is missing, not lost missing, just not moved into the house yet. I feel like order will never be restored, I don't know how we're going to get everything done! Plus there's a glich in our usps mail, internet, and phone. To top it off our oven/stove broke just as we moved in so I can't cook. It should all be fixed this weekend though. Anyway, sorry if I'm a little out of touch it's been hard not having internet, but my inlaws were nice enough to let me borrow their laptop tonight, so I get all my important business like blogging done ;)

Bad Day???

So if a mom spanks all of her kids in one day, is it because the kids are out of control or the mom? Yep, it's me. I had a really bad day! I'm completely frazzled and stressed and I lost my patience three too many times. My poor kids, they're neglected enough throughout the day with all this moving business, but then they have this completely harried mother who spanks them because SHE is losing her mind. Really it's just been hard trying to accomplish anything on my own. For instance, today I was packing up the bathroom feeling productive when Kai comes in with necklaces draped all over his arms. I come out of the bathroom, and he has completely unpacked the box with all our bedroom accessories, including my jewelry box. My social security card is missing, he lost an earring, he broke a brand new necklace (I didn't even get to wear it out yet) and besides all that it was just completely setting me back. Mia has just been a complete pill the past week, so today, when I was already at the end of my rope, when little Miss Attitude came out she didn't get as much leniency as she's used to! And you may wonder how on earth I could even get mad at little Noah, but he can get feisty every now and then and he just picked the wrong time to do it.
Let me tell you, as a mother you never feel worse about losing your temper than when you go look in on your little ones after they are asleep that same night. They are SO sweet and SO precious, you wonder how you could ever let them see that ugly side of you. I'm definitely not proud of it, and it makes me feel sick inside, but I also know it won't be the last time that anger rears it's ugly head, so hopefully it'll help me bite my tongue a little longer the next time a bad day rolls around. I just can't wait to get settled and stop feeling like I have one foot in each house.

What a difference 3 weeks makes

So we still have more to do, but it's starting to come together. Now all the before and afters can seem a little "romantic" like it was so much fun doing it. The truth is it totally sucks. Too much stress, too much fighting, too much money. We still have all the decorating to do, curtains, rugs, lamps, ect. which also sounds fun, but I'm dreading it. We know we'll be happy once it's done and we are settled, but for now no one is having much fun! It does feel good to know that no matter what in two weeks we'll be in our new home and our mortgage will be LESS!
