There are days when you have "it". Those are the days you are organized, you work hard, you get things done, and you still have time for the important people in your life, and the important people (if they be your children) listen to and respect you (a little, at least).
It's been an off day,
or is it a week by now?
Or perhaps even more than a year?
At any rate, when you don't have it, you don't have it.
When you don't have it, things just don't get better.
I think it's time to break open my day planner, make that dreaded monstrous TO DO LIST a visible reality, and start tackling it.
It is also time to tighten the discipline regime!! If the kids are driving my bonkers, then it's probably because I'm letting them drive me bonkers.
It's almost depressing how quickly the organized, scheduled, consistent, motivated, and kid-listening-somewhat-better pattern deteriorates into chaos.
NO MORE MRS. NICE GUY TOMORROW!

Aw Roze, the kids don't look bad at all. Don't beat yourself up, keeping everyone fed and clean and happy is already a big accomplishment. Love mom
Roze I know exactly how you feel!! Some days I can't get it together.... I have to get up an hour before the kids (like today) to get stuff done before they get up so I can spend time with them when they do wake up. So now I can hang a load of laundry on the line, dust the living room and empty the dishwasher at 6:45 am. Fun fun... but it makes the rest of the day a lot easier.
