Joy can sometimes lead to frustration

While this morning went very well, this afternoon did not. My son decided that he wanted to test some rules and he thought that peeing on himself 6 times was a good idea. He has completely frazzled me at this point. I am so glad that Bob will be home soon!

Joy

Bob will be home tonight! I am so happy about that. He has been gone since last Wednesday and I've missed him terribly. The boys have missed him as well. I can't wait to tell Brandon tonight that Daddy will be home tomorrow. He is going to be so happy.
It's been a hard week on all three of us, but we survived and I am sure that we are better for it.
Bob will be off from work Thursday and Friday, which is such a relief to me. I need a break in every way. It will just be nice to be able to relax for a few minutes. I am very much looking forward to that. It's very hard dealing with all three kids all day long without a break. Rhi and Andy have been awesome! They have really helped me out a ton since Bob has been gone. I can't thank them enough.
Very much looking forward to the weekend ahead. Friday dinner with Jamie at Don Pablo's and then Saturday is a fun-filled Birthday day for Jamie! I can't wait. I always love spending the day with her. We always have a great time. Well I know I have a great time. I think she humors me more than she should. FOB and 50 should be awesome. Plus any day that involves music and PF Chang's is a great day for me.

Sitting here thinking

I really should not be allowed to be alone. It does nothing but get me in trouble. I have time to sit and think about things that are only going to upset me. This usually involves thinking about my mom and how much I miss her.
I have been thinking a lot about my current relationship with father and I can't help but to think about how she would handle the situation. She would have had this whole thing solved in about 5 minutes. But wihout her around I am stuck with all of this drama with Dad 8 years later.
It would be nice to just be able to talk to her again. I would love to hear her perspective on things. She always did know how to handle Dad and me. After all we do share a lot of the same character flaws.
I just miss her terribly.

today

Started out better than yesterday. I got my iphone fixed, this makes #3 for me. Took the boys to PF chang's. We had a lovely lunch.
The afternoon went ok, Johnny didn't want to take a nap. After about an hour of fighting he took a really long nap.
Brandon on the other hand didn't take a good nap. He was ok until we were getting ready for bed. While I was giving Johnny a bath he decided to be a turd. Needless to say he is upstairs still awake and shows no interest in sleeping. This is really getting old!

Yesterday

was one of those days that just doesn't end. Brandon didn't want to listen and poor Johnny was dealing with his shots he got on Friday. All in all the boys were in a bad mood. So, me and my infinite wisdom thought it would be a good idea to go to Joe's for dinner. Well that turned about to be a disaster. Brandon was a turd the entire time. Then to make things more interesting dinner wasn't ready until after 6. Well we have to leave at 6 to get home in time for bed. Well we didn't leave there until 6:40, so I had two very tired and cranky boys. That was so much fun.

Hopefully today will go better. It can't be any worse than yesterday.
We are going to the Apple store to get my phone fixed again, then off to PF Chang's for lunch. I think it's going to be fun having lunch with the boys! I can't wait!
