Ms Elizabeth's Journal, 05 March 2017

Second Journal on a Sunday. I think this is a new record. I should get a badge or something.

Today I crashed and burned and bounced.. continued burning.. rolled and continued burning.. until finally coming to rest in a couch cushion where I flamed out due to the drool that was probably forming in my "just let it end!!!!" moment. I did do well... in the AM. Once PM started all bets were off.

I took the teenager and the 2 yr old to Joanne Fabrics because she needed things for a school project and I had apparently lost my freaking mind. An hour and a half later.. a papercut under two of my nails thanks to stupid poster board. Poster board is stupid. Anything other than paper that causes papercuts.. is stupid. Peanut leaned to say "Fuck". We can barely understand the kid when he is telling us he is hungry. That word?? That word comes out clear as a freaking bell. Know what's really fun? Sucking on two of your fingers, glaring at your teenager, while the 2 yr old in the cart happily chirps the F word while waiting to check out. I'm not entirely sure but we may be banned.

I happily bypassed all fast food on the way home. We were going home to have something healthy. Yup healthy. This is at 1:30 because we were in a craft store for entirely too long. 2 yr old with no nap.. melts. Teenager proceeds to tell me several times.. she's hungry. So we stop at a sub place because it was the healthiest of options. And we go home. Where the teenager introduces the 2 year old to peeps she bought.. at a craft store. Why?? Why does the craft store have dangerous posterboard and candy? I mean seriously?!?!?!

I avoided the Peeps. I glared at the poster board. The 2 yr old went back and forth between sweet and goofy.. to.. demon spawn. Then we picked up his brother! Who was at grandmas.. and also had no nap. Oh and then my husband decides that this of all times is a good time to get sick. I mean seriously? We're in the pits! There wasn't a single person in the house that wasn't either crying or yelling. So yes.. I made fish sticks. I made French fries. We ate grandma's cookies. Daddy went to bed at 6:30. Luckily we didn't have to go to the barn. The cows would have been traumatized. I think I'm still traumatized.

Oh and on top of all this. I've worked all weekend long in an attempt to keep up with work. I'm not positive but I may have instructed someone at work to change a diaper and stop poking his sister with the baseball bat because she doesn't think it's funny.
