and, i just had to walk away! it was dinner time and it had already been "a day" (really an afternoon, but whatever)...daddy was in a late meeting, i had already told my youngest to sit down and turn around 50 times, and that same little one was not eating. i would give sophia one bite and then walked to my lady lair. i had hit my limit and had already prayed for an extra dose of patience. i knew if i didn't leave the situation, i would BLOW MY TOP! i texted mr. dandy how much longer he was going to be and he texted back, "still here," followed by, "everything alright?" my response, "patience low...keeping calm," and my man texts, "keep calm and mother on." that made me smile...for about a minute. considering it takes him at least 45 minutes to drive home, i knew i had to do something before i go BaNaNas! knowing my two usual sidekicks were busy, i called my mom :) poor thing had just arrived home from her own long day of work and traffic, and i call to ask her to run an errand w/ me. i go on to explain that really, my husband is working late, i'm low on patience, on my period and just want to round the girls up in the car, put a movie on and drive. she lovingly said, "yes." and that's all i needed. thankfully, she lives less than 10 minutes from me. i picked her up, grabbed her some to-go dinner, chatted, and i ran into the grocery store to pick up a few things. all the while, my girls quietly watch winnie the pooh :) i took my mom back home and drove back home knowing my honey would be there by now as he texted me saying there was smoke in his building...i didn't do it!!!
my point...it's good to know when you need a break...when you need help...and it's ALWAYS good to pray. smoke in the building, coincidence? i think not ;)
and really, periods are overrated...moms are not!

This made me laugh. And seriously, being on your period is a molotov cocktail for disaster at my house!
