Let me go ahead and put a disclaimer up here...I love my children and would do anything for them gladly. With that said, there are things that happen daily that make me want to cuss....
1. After a long morning at church, out running errands or sitting for a while at preschool pick up line....there is nothing more frustrating than your one year old falling asleep on the way home. You know that means there will be no nap time or shortened nap time. No matter how loudly you sing It's Bitsy Spider, play peek-a-boo in the mirror or reach back to pull on their feet....those heavy eyes eventually give in. Ugghh!
2. There is nothing like being up at 2 am for a feeding and deciding you'll die if you don't go downstairs to get a drink, to only step on a small toy. Legos, barbie shoes and the thousands of tiny figurines/action figures can create more pain than childbirth.
3. You've managed your time well and gotten up early to get out the door a certain time. Laid out clothes the night before, packed all the bags and even took a shower before bed....all to get delayed as you are walking out the door by a up the back explosion by the baby and a mega fit over what shoes to wear by your 4 year old.
4. Taking 4 children out to eat at a nice restaurant. Enough said.
5. The "witching hours" between 4-6 where you try to make dinner with crying in the background, a toddler tugging at your leg and trying to finish up homework with your 1st grader. It's impossible...at least impossible to complete with a good attitude. Everyone is hungry. Everyone is grumpy.
Anyways, just a few things that really grate my nerves. Would do them all everyday if it means I get to have these four little loves. I would love to hear from y'all what really makes your eye to start twitching as a mom. : )
