Mommy Break Down...

So today, with two teething toddlers, I have had not just one, not just two but several Mommy break-downs!  That's right, I'm admitting I have lost my mind and marbles today.  I was getting the kiddos ready to head out for our weekly grocery store run.  Fiona was screaming from the time I changed her diaper all the way into the car.  Gavyn decided it looked and sounded really fun so he joined in as well.  So here I am, diaper bag hanging off my shoulder, Fiona screaming while hanging from my arms and Gavyn screaming while following me and pulling on my legs.  Get the picture!  Safely bucked them into their seats (they are both still screaming and whining), slammed the van door and sat in the grass...alone...in the rain...it was pure bliss.  While I could still hear a faint scream, it wasn't in my face or on my legs.  After a couple yoga breaths, I got up and into the van.  Instantly turned on Baby Einstein CD and DVD (thank goodness for my van and it's movie player!!) and it was a miracle, all was calm!  Thank you, God!!  So that was just the START of my day.  It only gets better from there.

As I'm sitting here in my lovely quite space, I realize how much I love the piece and quiet BUT life would be empty with out my kids.  Don't get me wrong...Nap-time is Mommy's happy time!!!

May all you Mommy's get some piece and quiet today,
Jessica

 Beautiful Maui, Hawaii!  If that doesn't help you take your troubles away, I don't know what will.  The ultimate peace and calm...just missing the fo-fo umbrella drink :)
