Rough Day!!!!

 We had a few appointments with Sam, our special needs 4 month old, and my babysetter cancelled for the other 5, so I had to take everyone with me, on my own. Daniel (2) bit Joseph (4) on the lip and it was bleeding everywhere at the doctors office, while the doctor was explaining a surgery Sam needs. Just lots of crying and fighting and "Im hot, Im thristy, I just peed my pants" kind of stuff.
My house is a MESS... and it has been this unorganized mess ever since our miracle baby came... and Im not complaining, but I am almost OCD when it comes to my house, and I have been able to "brush it off" until now because before I was barley here because I was at the NICU with Sam, now Im here, most days, all day, and its a mess, and I cant clean it because I have to take care of everyone, and every time I do clean it up, someone is behind me messing it up again.... so Im not going to hire someone to clean it, because it will take Seconds to get messy again... and then its a waste of money. The joys of having a big family. I love it, but it gets rough...
And today I ate two cookies... so I have to count the points (Im on core) but I just hate that I caved into that.

(((HUGS)))

I can't even imagine what a stressful day you must have had!  One of my best friends has 5 kids(the youngest is 10 now), but when they were preteen on down to 2 and 3, I would be out with them, and there would be those squabbles with the younger ones...somehow she kept it together...don't know that I would do so well!

Beyond your husband and older kids maybe chipping in with a few light chores, it sounds like you're doing the best you can!  I was going to mention having someone to clean, but I can so understand your reasoning.  I will be praying for strength for you to get through the rest of this rough day, and that hopefully tomorrow will be a bit calmer!

I know you hate to count the points, but I wouldn't sweat the 2 cookies too bad...if it was me, it would have been the whole bag/box after a day like you had!  I've had the munchies today, and will somehow have to hope that I can make a dinner/snack that won't run me over my calories too bad!

Caving in....

 I had two delicious (small) chocolate chip brownies ...

I feel so guilty but I also think that two is much better than the ten I would have polished off two weeks ago.  

So don't cry over spilled cookie (brownie) crumbs...just look forward to your next weigh in!
