I am happy. Today I got the things done I wanted to do today. I did not even forget that my children existed during this "productive time", and spent lots of quality time bonding with them. (Bonding, apparently, is one of the focal points of my job.) We had a lot of fun together. Buying and wrapping birthday presents, baking, story reading...
I am frustrated and tense. Today I had children, who took random turns at testing my patience. A few untimely "NO"'s instead of "Yes Mom"'s, a few signs of physical aggression towards each other, and a few too many clingy grabby arms crying for carrying.
I am wiped. Today I had the unshakable feeling of having gotten out of the wrong side of bed a few too many hours earlier than acceptable. I'm am SURE that this is the ONLY reason why I lost my patience, and I can put the sole responsibility on this, and spend the rest of the evening with my conscience unscathed. After all, if I did yell a little, it was only the fault of being a little too tired.
And now it is time for me to be bathed. It may relax me a little.
MAY?
May is a nice time of year you know. Flowers, trees, birthdays, holidays...
HOLIDAYS?
I get to have lots of holidays this year...flying far away, canoe trips, family visiting
VISITING?
We are going visiting tomorrow. A four year old girl's birthday party. I shall fit right in, I am sure. Maybe I'll take the kids along too, after all, I doubt I can find a babysitter on a Friday morning this late in the game.
GAME?
Did I mention the present me got the girl was a game? Hungry hungry hippos. There are four hippos in there, Harry, Homer, Happy and I don't know.
HAPPY?
I shall be happy in the bath.
BATH?
Right, I was going. Time to relax some of my tense muscles...maybe pick up a good book.
Before I blow up.
BANG!
