Sunday Night Musings

What a poor poster I've been! No pictures, no excitement -- nothing. And, to continue my trend, I am going to write a few things weighing on my mind.

I think I've traumatized Jayce. Lately his prayers include, "Please bless Mommy that she won't be mean to me." This initial request stemmed from a day that was a particularly bad for me in the patience department. Despite my pleadings, he had darted into a busy parking lot as I was retrieving Alyssa from the library. Yes, I got mad. Later on that night he had gone to time out for some transgression, and as I came to get him he asked, "What happened to my nice Mom?" Okay . . . ouch!

I am so sick of the upcoming presidential election. For one thing, I'm not impressed with either candidate, so I'm voting for the lesser of two evils (an option I detest!). Because I live in a swing state, I'm surrounded by political ads and activists. Please stop trying to convince me! I'm done with the pandering! I'm mourning Mitt Romney. I feel like he would have been an invaluable leader in this financial crisis.

Chocolate chip cookies are divine, but I like the dough better.

Jeremy is working on a Sunday night, and he probably won't be home until after 11. What is wrong with the owner? Couldn't a financial statement meeting wait until tomorrow? My poor husband is tired and overworked.

BYU is ranked #7 in the AP poll and #8 in USA Today. The following lyrics come to mind: "Celebrate good times, come on!" Okay, how fun is it to be a BYU fan right now?

Monday is tomorrow. What happened to my weekend? Life is a blur!

Over and Out.

All I know is that you must be a really nice mom, because if you are a mean mom all the time, then when they get scolded for playing on the freeway, it won't seem like anything.

Go Cougs!

I think its hilarious that the cookie dough thought crept up there with all your deep thoughts about Motherhood and Cougar ratings. :) I love you for that. Being a Mom is tough. Thats why we need a girly weekend.

I feel your pain. Last night when I was trying to get the kids to put away their folded laundry and help clean up I heard Derek tell Alyson that "Mom is being mean." It hurts, but what do you do... you can't just let them do whatevery they want (like run into a parking lot or not help around the house.) At least Derek apologized later- it's not like him to that way. I guess we all feel like the "Mean Mom" sometimes. I'm sure you are awesome. Go Cougars!!!!
