Do you ever have those moments, days, weeks, lifetimes (it seems) where you feel like you are just spinning your wheels? Well, I am spinning out like a bad Nascar driver today. I have the patience of a 2 yr old today. I got mad today at Cooper, like throw a knick knack across the library at Rhett Butler's head kind of mad for not being able to put his own coat on... After telling my five year old that he needed to "LOOK ALIVE KID"... I realized that I just screamed at my five year old for the most asinine reason out there. What next... he can't put his gloves on and I leave him at the fire station? He can't get the lid on his milk and I lock him in a closet??? AAAHHHHHH
So, I wish I could tell you that he looked at me with those big brown eyes and said "I'm sowwy Mommy," but alas no, he says "Don't rush me Mommy, I'm workin on it!" (perfect asnwer by the way on his part)
Cooper finally made me laugh while we were sitting down to eat lunch. He learned a new prayer from some of our new Illinois buddies and he had to sing it at the top of his lungs for all to hear. Imagine this to the music from Superman:
"Thank you God for giving us food, Thank you God for giving us food, For the food that we EEAAATT, for the people we MEETTT, thank you GOOOOODDDD for this food, AMEN!!
(You also have to put your hands out like a flying superhero, which was kind of awkward at Applebee's...)
So with Cooper's great prayer, I decided to add an addendum to my life motto, here goes:
"When I'm sad, I stop being sad and start being awesome AND when I am overwhelmed, I stop being overwhelmed and sing the Superhero prayer and start being even more awesome!!" (poor grammar all around, but great sentiment!)
I am leaving you today with some great Pinterest items since I wasted thirty minutes of my life trying to make myself laugh by reading Pinterest (I also have a great ranch pork chop recipe too so time was not actually wasted!)
