With both kids having colds, Daddy being gone and me being run-down, I'm struggling to be patient and understanding. Since I realize that attitude is everything and usually decides whether you have a good or bad day, I'm focusing on the positive and the fact that it won't be like this forever and that in spite of the fact that it gets crazy in the not-so-fun way, this time is precious and I need to appreciate it. This too shall pass.
Both Sam and I had timeouts this morning for yelling at each other. Yes, I set the timer and faced the wall with my daughter because I made a bad choice and had to deal with the consequence. After calming down, we built a fort with the exercise mats, got out nearly every blanket in the house and set up the play tent. We took turns being the "Big Bad Wolf" and blowing the house down. That was a nice change of pace.
We have a few errands to do, so it will probably do everyone a bit of good. Sam has agreed to my "special helper" like she does for Daddy which should be fun!
