Right now I've just dodged a tantrum from June and have Josh in time out for hitting June then hitting Elizabeth (both unprompted). I've been trying really hard to parent well lately and I just don't want to tonight. I want to be selfish. I want to look up a good dinner recipe. I want to cook without pacifying needs and wants. I want to just exist tonight without the mental games of being a good mommy: pleasant, positive, and engaged.
Today has been intense and I've done my best. I just want to punch out. Off the clock. I'm fine with being around my kids but I don't feel like trying...
How's that for honesty?

Susie, that's an honest post if I ever saw one. I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel like that at least once a day. Chin up! Bed time always comes and thank heavens we can regroup for the next days battles and of course many joys. :-)
