Dannette this is Monday folks.
by 8am tears had already been shed, we had a car that wouldn’t start, keys that were locked in that same car, a school delay, we did manage some crazy hair for crazy hair day at school, which was then canceled and people were traumatized. ?? the pantry is also empty and my people get CRANKY when that happens.
today has been a recipe for disaster. but what I’ve come to realize is that my attitude and reaction sets the tone. if I am fun and silly and choose joy, eventually so do they.
so we did things that they love. vacuumed under the cushions (yep?), turned the furniture on end and built a tent. we’ve played hotel, ate oranges and chips for breakfast and are now watching a movie.
I might be throwing in the towel by 2pm but dang it, I’m determined we will all be smiling thru the tears.
