Choose today to react to tough circumstances in your marriage in loving ways instead of with irritation. Begin by making a list below or areas where you need to add margin to your schedule. Then list any wrong motivations that you need to release from your life.
Today started out really good. I got up earlier than the children and took a shower. I came down to make them breakfast and had it ready for them when they woke up. But after that it all went down hill. We rushed off to dance school only to find while we were half way there Naomi forgot her shoes. So we had to turn around and come back home. When I pulled up in the driveway my husband was on his way out. He asked what happened and I was so irritated I screamed back, "she forgot her shoes" ran in the house to grab them and then rushed back in the car.
Later in the day I got a text from my husband, "Hope u have a better day and good luck with the school later love". Now, wasn't that nice.
The rest of my day went like this: we stopped at Duncan Donuts and was at gymnastics early. We had to leave gymnastics earlier than usual to get to the high school for kindergarten testing. My plan was to sit and read a magazine while the triplets were being tested. They took Justin first. Then they took Naomi. When it was time to take Victoria she clung to my leg and cried. They tried everything to get her into the room to be tested with no luck. I wound up going in the room with her sitting on the side while listening to all the questions. Some of which I didn't even know the answers to.
When we got home I allowed them to play outside a bit. They took out their bikes and other toys but when it was time for them to come in the house I had to fight with them to carry all their toys back in. My blood pressure rose and I had to just lay down to calm down. Then it was time to cook dinner. We ate and finally Evan arrived home. He took the kids and tucked them in for the night. At this point I was so exhausted that I laid down for a nap but that nap turned to 5 hours of sleep. I woke up at 1 am at the time my husband was going to bed. We did manage to have some sex but now I'm wide awake.
I need to add margin in my life by letting some things go. Saying no and not over extend my schedule so that I'm stressed with the day. I need to find something to do with my husband. I already asked him about finding a TV show to watch together or movie or something. We were watching LOST together but now that he's going on the treadmill and watching it by himself I am now 7 episodes behind. Will we ever have something to watch again together?
Sorry for the rambling. It's now 2:52 am and I really need to get back to bed. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.
