#1: I have no idea what my kids are going to be for Halloween. Because I don't really care too much about the holiday, and haven't really focused on it, the kids don't seem to notice that it is in just a few days. I asked them last night what they want to be, and none of them really had an answer. I feel kinda bad for raising kids that don't make a big deal out of this holiday, but then again.... I don't.
#2: I have a pile of five loads of laundry that need folded sitting next to me on the couch. Any volunteers?!?!
#3: I am in the midst of the semi-annual clothes sort for my family. My children have two sets of wardrobe. A winter set and a summer set. I am packing away the summer set and pulling out the winter set. This makes a huge mess, a lot of stress, and storage bins stacked around my house for days. It is not a fun time for me. In fact, I HATE IT. I am just grateful that I am over half way done. I did the three girls clothes yesterday, and I am now focused on the two boys clothes today.
#4: My youngest child will turn 3 in December. I need to start potty training the boy, but you know what? I just don't want to. I have made a few attempts, but I just don't have the desire to keep it going.
#5: I went to bed last night at 8:45pm and woke up at 6:30am. I got nearly TEN hours of sleep last night. I realized this morning that too little sleep OR too much sleep is dangerous for me. I need between 7-8 hours to feel good and ready for the day. Any less OR more turns me into a witch. I am not having a particularly good day today, and I have lost my temper more then once with my kids. Why can't I be one of those "good moms" that I read about on my friends blogs? Because I am not feeling like a good mom today... or wife, or housekeeper, or cook, etc.... maybe tomorrow.

It's because those "good moms" are LIARS!!! HAHA just kidding. But really most people don't say "hey today I yelled at my kids 12 times. One got the wooden spoon, one got time out 3 times, I'm locking 1 in their room and I'm not making any of them dessert." But you know ALL the moms feel that way most days :0) I think you are wonderful and such a great mom, wife, and friend. Even on your bad days.
The good moms you are reading about have bad days too! And yes, the changing of the wardrobe....I hate it too! I always wonder, has the weather really changed? Is it safe to put these clothes away in the attic? Will so-and-so fit into this this year? And on and on. Glad you are almost done!
So glad to know I'm not the only one whose house has been taken over by clothes and boxes and bins! :) I think I'm about finished with the season/size change-over, but it's taken me a couple of weeks...and I only have 2 kids. I can't imagine how long it'd take me with 5! I think you're a great mom! We all have days when we feel like a "loser mom." :) But--you're not!
I agree with Marcie! Be nice to yourself. You are a good mommy!
You're a good mom, I have bad days too, can't you hear me yelling at my kids down at your house? And on the potty training front, I just never felt like doing Graham either, but finnally about 2 months after his 3rd birthday we got it down and he pretty much did it by himself. No worries mama you'll get it done!
