Today I kept my cool...

when I caught Chasey with my box cutter scratching wood in the house

when Taylor tried to repeatedly convince me that cleaning his room did not include vacuuming

when I caught Chasey purposely stepping on dog poo outside

when Bennett had a fit about practicing piano

when I found 2 bags worth of unpopped popcorn in the carpet

after Chasey broke one of our movie DVDs

after I told Owen no less than 3 times to stop using the roll of batting as a missile at the fabric store

I know, for certain, I'd have at least one less child had that been my day. You deserve a medal.

WOW!! I am really impressed. I hope they live through tomorrow (in case the pressure build-up explodes).

You are amazing. I haven't gotten that good yet.

Very impressive. What's your secret?

You left off the rest of the post, how on earth did you not lose it? You are an incredible mom. I think I'd be crying if that happened to me, especially all in one day. I'll send you a trophy for a day like this!

Chase is a busy boy. I have found that there are many days that the house is a disaster or the kids ended up with cereal for all three meal that day and at the end of the day I felt like I didn't make much progress but the worse days are those that I don't keep my temper. My kids don't remember what I made for dinner the night before but they remember when I loose my temper. I see your day as a great success.

Dang! What a day! Gosh, that's crazy. Time to hit the little boy pause button.
