Today's been a 3

Well hello there

Gosh, today's been hard. The kids have just gone to sleep - yes, at 9:45.

We had a relatively okay morning and then went to church which was actually fabulous.

And then we decided to go out to eat since they've been good.

my favourite drink is water with lemon :) this is fancy lemon from The Marriott

WELL.

That was a big mistake.

First, we went for some specials but when we started ordering, the waiter told us they were only Mon - Sat lunch...but you can't very well leave because you've ordered drinks already...

Anyway, the kids food came and they ate all of theirs before ours even arrived.

On the bright side - I know some of you have fussy eaters - my kids ate ALL their food without any trouble. (Rice and meatballs - we were at a Greek place)

But their table manners were atrocious - standing on chairs, insisting on eating with big forks, scooping food with their hands, etc. I think they were just tired and hungry.

We both had to take them for walks to get some of the antsiness out of them.

My food was delicious though - it arrived while D was walking with the kids so I ate at least some of it hot.

Of course the minute we finished we were out of there.

And then no-one was interested in napping so we separated them - Kendra and me on our bed, and D with Connor in their room.

K slept from 4:10 - 6 pm and I slept from 4:30 til she woke me at 6 pm.

Here's the thing - D gets VERY grumpy when the "schedule" isn't adhered to.They are KIDS and as far as I'm concerned, we need to be flexible - I just like them to sleep - I don't really care if it's an hour or two later than "planned".

So the evening's been terrible.

Supper at 6:30 (again they ate well so no complaints there) and then baths and more screaming (I DON'T WANT YOU TO DRESS ME!)...............

I told Pontifications Julia we had a very "real" day over here. Nothing perfect and Pinteresty in the least.

Anyway, on evenings like this I am SO glad for the word of God that says His mercies are new every morning.

I love that - tomorrow's a new day!

An early start new day, but a new day nonetheless :)

How was your Sunday?

PS In retrospect, I think it's actually about a 5 because one child more or less behaved once we got home and they both ate well the whole day!
PPS I thought my sickness was low blood pressure but I got tested on Friday pm because I had a slight episode again on Friday and my BP was perfect (120/65). I had no episodes over the weekend but will get checked again tomorrow to make sure. In the meanwhile, I'll be keeping some SaltiCrax in my handbag.
episode = nausea, dizziness, low-grade headache
