Sometimes blogs and Facebook make our lives look so pretty and perfect. In my house, today was not one of those days. A peek in this window and you would go running the other direction.

Both kids are sick and that means this mama is running on empty. I haven’t slept in 2 days. The sleepless me is a mean destructive monster who can turn small problems into major disasters in a snap.

I hate days like this. Feels like my world is crumbling all because I asked for a little extra help with the kids and some rest. Men just don’t get it sometimes unless you’re acting like a crazy person. I hate when I get like that. I went for a drive and found myself at the garden in front of my church. It’s such a beautiful spot with a waterfall, a bench under a tree and a huge wind chime. So peaceful.

I’m just waking up from the longest nap. Spreading out in my bed all alone is such a treat that only other mommies would understand. Hopefully this nap helps me get things back together.

This picture sums up my day.
