I don't know the answer to that question ... but damn it, I'm gonna try. I woke up this morning thinking, "Hmmm, I'm ready to take on the world! I'm so up for a challenge. What can I do to push myself beyond the norm today?"
Instantly I thought of my kids.
And how they're always irritating me by doing things they KNOW are wrong and I swear are just doing it to see if my head really will start spinning as smoke pours out of my ears. I believe they are convinced this will indeed happen ... if they can just push me to that point.
Anyway. My challenge.
I am going to attempt to not yell or even raise my voice to the kids ALL DAY TODAY!
Impossible?
Probably.
But feel free to join me in this challenge ... do you think you can do it?
And, for those perfect mothers out there that are reading this and do not find this a challenge at all ... SHUT UP!
It's just because MY children aren't YOUR children.
So, be sure to check back to this post throughout the day ... I'll keep you updated on my progress.
Wish me luck! I'm My kids are gonna need it.
UPDATE #1 - 1:23pm and so far so good. Emily is home sick and Molly had preschool this morning, so that might have something to do with my success thus far ...
UPDATE #2 - 2:46pm and it's getting harder. I've had a couple close calls, but managed to work through it. Emily is feeling better. I think that's half the problem. Well ... maybe ... ALL of the problem. Molly is playing nicely with her Groovy Girls.
UPDATE #3 - 6:45pm and I'm here to tell ya ... I didn't make it. Yup, couldn't do it. Maybe I'll give it another shot ... someday!
