...but after spending the entire morning crying I'm not so sure...
It seems as though Ian is pushing every button this morning. The screaming has been never ending. We even had poop everywhere. He is deliberately naughty and tells me about it to get my reaction. The other kids aren't much better. Why is it that they wait until I'm completely exhausted and totally emotional to act this way?? If I hear one more mom talk about how much they love summer and how much they love having their kids home I AM GOING TO SCREAM! Or, just cry some more. I'm a failure.
How long until school starts again????

3 people not afraid to say something:
Ang.... dang. I really don't know what to say because it's just not going to help. All I know is that you are a GREAT mom and your kids are lucky to have you. Just because you don't like poop all over the place and screaming doesn't make you a bad mom. I don't know ANY mom that would like a summer full of that. Hang in there. I love ya!
If it makes you feel any better my countdown to summer has been painful. I am SO dreading having all my kids home for 2 1/2 months straight. Most days it doesn't take 5 minutes together for them to be screaming at each other and yelling through the house (and at me)and I have to go ALL SUMMER?? I'm drained already! BUT, I know we can do this. We've done it before and we can do it again. We're wonderful moms and somehow we'll push through and even manage for our kids to have fun this summer and make some good memories and hopefully, when it's all said and done and we get to send them back to school, they'll remember those good times and all the yelling we did (and screaming, and crying, and stomping around) will have faded like the hot sun....hopefully...right?? Oh, and maybe all their trouble making will have faded for us, too....maybe...:) After all, we love them SO much and what other mother could handle all this and not lose her mind. God chose us because he knows that even though we don't think we can do this, we can. We're the ones, we just have to keep asking him everyday HOW we're supposed to do it and I'm sure he'll lead, guide, and help us. And on all those many many bad days, I'm sure he'll be there for a big hug in the evening. Wish I could give you one! I'll say a prayer for you everyday!! Luv you!!!
I wish I could help but I can't even handle all my five kids all summer long. It's hard but we try to make the most of it. Hang in there. Trust me, those mom that LOVE their kids being home have bad days too. I hate to say this but they will be gone sooner than you think.
