Monster Max and 2nd Jobs

Chas got a second job and while the end goal is one worth working for, I am tired. I am out numbered when he isn't home and the kids know it and boy do they take advantage of the situation. Max was a monster all afternoon and evening and I was reading to wring his sweet little neck. Charlie insisted on being held all evening and Catie had real problems with following directions. All that combined has made for a rough evening. Max has such an attitude these days and loves to make his opinion known to everyone. He screamed and threw a tantrum every time he had a chance and I was sick of it by 7:00 when Chas got home from his second job. He was so sweet and took both boys to Kroger to get me some yummy ice cream. I have been craving sweets so bad here lately and wanted something with peanut butter and chocolate. He is the king of ice cream so I know he will bring me home something wonderful.

I made baby food this evening and had a really hard time. Normally I block off a portion of my day just to make baby food and that is all I do during that time. I have been so busy lately and SO tired when the boys nap that I haven't been able to get it all done. I decided that I would make up a couple things tonight while I was cooking dinner and it just didn't work out for me like I wished it would have. I couldn't get the Mango to peel and cut and it wasn't ripe enough so I had to steam it a little to get it to be smooth and the Avocados didn't like my food processor tonight so I ended up doing that one by hand. It was messy and I had dinner going at the same time AND my Max was being really naughty. I am going to make myself do it tomorrow during nap time no matter how tired I am at that time.

I talked to my sis-in-law today and found out that she is going to watch Charlie on the 23rd of this month so I can go to my first class and Charles is going to watch Maxwell!! We thought we had it all planned out but Chas is in a wedding and they moved it up a week and it happens to be at the same time as my class and since it is the end of the month Dee has to work so I thought I was in big trouble. It is things like this that make me wonder if I am doing the right thing by going back to school while the kids are this little. As my first day of school gets closer I find myself doubting my ability to do this school thing and be a mom and a soccer coach and a chauffeur and all the other stuff I do on a daily basis. It seems to scary to be going to school at this age. I feel like I am going to be the old lady in a crowd of young kids. If it weren't for my hubby and his undying support I would probably chicken out right about now. I am so glad I have such a great set of in-laws or I would probably fail before I even began.

Well I am off to eat my ice cream. I pray tomorrow will be a better day. I read a great quote today that said "Don't worry about today because tomorrow it will just be a memory". I really enjoyed that and will remember that quote daily....or at least try to remember!
