"Monday" kinda day..

Yesterday was one of those days... It was a "Monday" although it was Tuesday! We had taken a long weekend off. Hubby had a four day, so we enjoyed a three day! :) We finished school on Friday early, before lunch! :) It was a great break!! We enjoyed the weekend spending time with friends and a day at the park! So, I guess the Mondays had just lingered.. Not sure. It was one of those days where nothing seemed to go right. The computer system for school was not working. You could log on and then it would log you out or the computer would freeze up. Class connect sessions wouldn't work right either.. So that seemed to set my mood.. It was after a cup of coffee, but just seemed to set the rest of the day off.. I tried to keep it under control and not take it out on the kids, but I have to be honest I did.  With everything off and crazy, I started stressing and wanting to just get the day over with! Then started worrying that we would be doing school ALL day long... I am still working on this part of the home school it is okay if it takes a while and etc.. It didn't take all day, we did leave a little to make up today, but wasn't too bad.  Anyway.. when hubby came home he found me in our room laying on the bed with the door shut. When asked what was wrong, I told him. I just wanted some peace and quiet. Of course he didn't leave me alone either.. So I just got more aggravated. Rested a little longer and then it was time for dinner. I still felt tensed and frustrated... So as I did dinner.. I slammed this or that.. Yea real mature right? Just one of those days..  At dinner, realizing that not only was I in a bad mood, but now hubby seemed to be. I also noticed the kids seemed to be quiet and we getting along for the most part.. Oh would this day just be over! So I went back to my room shut the door after dinner and enjoyed a little quiet time - just me!

When I got up I was just relaxing watching TV with hubby and checked Facebook..  A friend had posted this article Mom sets the Tone. Yep.. Conviction! Not only did my bad mood affect my day, but it also changed hubby's attitude from when he came home. I had to agree, my mood definitely set the tone for my household.. Yeah what a great day... Definitely didn't feel like the "mom" I want to be or even think I am!

Praying that your days no matter how bad, we can overcome and hold in that "bad" attitude and not affect the rest of our household. Also that we can recognize that there will be days no matter how hard we try it will just be that.. a BAD day!! We can apologize and pray tomorrow will be a MUCH better day!!

For the record... I controlled my attitude a lot better today. :)

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!!

We enjoyed a great visit with family over our Christmas break. There was no drama this time and it was a really good visit. :) Over 3300 miles traveled there and back. We got back with about four days to spare before we had to get back in the grove of things. Good thing, I think we just slept those few days. Hubby and I were worn out! Didn't help that I had/still have a cold I picked up somewhere along the way. My voice is finally coming back though! :)

We are slowly getting back into the grove of things here. We skipped group this week since Monday was our first day back to school and I knew it was going to be a challenge. It went fairly smooth though. The last few days has surprisingly! I haven't really pushed things either just trying to get us going again and it probably hasn't helped that I haven't felt 100% either.

We found out yesterday where we are supposedly headed. I say supposedly cause you never know til you get there if it will stay that or not. We will be here longer though, since hubby got a follow on course too. Dates are still to be determined since we don't know the dates of the class yet. Everyone is just assuming.. I will not post where just yet. Just in case... :)

Hope you all had a great Christmas and Happy New Year! May this year be full of many blessings!!
