it was one cow of a day

Today has been a struggle of sorts. I'm not sure of even where to begin. Should I talk about walking 2miles this morning, which I am praising God for giving me the strength to do so, and a little over 1/2 a mile of this was  in the cold rain. I tried to make the best of it though and smiled, laughed, talked to the heavens, and finally made it back to the car dripping wet.

So the beginning of the day wasn't so bad, but as the day progressed one food temptation after another slowly creeped on me. I'm not sure if it was the struggle of walking soaking wet for over 1/2 a mile, or the fact i only got about 5hrs of sleep (just not sleeping well) or the other fact that my 2yr old and 15month old just can't seem to go 20mins without screaming at each other (here I thought sibling rivalry wouldn't happen because they are so young) whatever the reason I just wanted to eat away all my stress. Thankfully though I remember God's grace and goodness and did not do so but I certainly wanted to.

So here are the highlights of today

Walked 2 miles over 1/2 of it was in pouring rain. Thankful it wasn't a thunderstorm
Dropped financial aid application off at the hospital for Carl's hospital bill. Was told good news :)
Took Carl to work
Did some grocery shopping with fussy kids
Cleaned bathroom
made lunch
children and I ate said lunch
children took naps or at least tempted to
During "supposed nap" Ellie attempted to eat monetary change...screaming
Mommy runs upstairs to find scattered monetary change, crying girl, and then a blank stare followed by disturbing throw up sounds, and litterally a nickle emerging out of said throw up...(yuck) thankful for nickle out rather than in though.
changed about 6poopy diapers (really gross ones too yuck)
cleaned bedroom,
put away laundry,
fixed supper
Let's make that 7 gross poopy diapers
children break into multiple fights, squeals, recieve multiple loving dicipline
mommy tired, puts children to bed

So that may describe most of my day....

oh and here's a picture of the hubby that i made dress like a cow for a free Chick-Fil-A meal he thought i was playing a trick on him until he went and saw that he wasn't the only one dressed like a cow.
