Met-cha Day

The 27th was Picked-cha Day for us, but today is our Met-cha Day. You'd think it was a perfect day of reflecting on the year and how we all have changed and grown, and reminiscing about what those first minutes of our meetings were like, and being all mushy about how perfect my kiddos are.

Nope.

Today has been HARD. We've had some, um, rough moments today. Like when I asked the kids to clean their junk out of the back of the car and they took everything out of the car, left it in the driveway, (complete with car doors open), and then went off to play.

And like one of them having a nosebleed in the bathroom and leaving a mess looking something like a crime-scene.

And like another of them stealing bug spray off the neighbor's deck (two houses down) and squirting it all over and having to go and ask the neighbor for forgiveness and offer to do odd jobs tomorrow to make up for it, and having the neighbor be not-so-happy about any of the above.

And like two of the three kids disappearing out of the yard and turning up at a rummage sale that a neighbor was having, but not until I had been in the car running all over the neighborhood searching for them...

Just thought you'd want to know what a day in the life looks like when the day is not so wonderful and picture-perfect!

Calgon...!
