Go to the grocery store with all three kids (yeah, that's always FUN!), and it is not to just buy a few things--I needed to do a major shop. Me being the great mom that I am, want to involve my children in the whole shopping experience. Needless to say, Brecklin gets the green pepper that I had her hold and chucks it and of course it breaks, she also did the same thing with an apple, but it didn't break, just bruised. There were many more dramas at the grocery store, but I want you to know that I kept smiling (sort of, maybe in a looney sort of way.) So by the time I get home I just want to get inside and take a breather. I am carrying the milk in and I dropped an entire gallon of milk and of course it splattered EVERYWHERE! Luckily I was still in the garage. So I get the shop vac out to clean it up and I think to myself "okay, it is a pretty day, the girls can play outside while I clean this huge mess up" So I go to open the garage, forgetting that the back hood of our Durango is still open. YES, the hood gets jammed into the garage door..up and down, up and down. Can't get it unstuck. Finally did. Clean up the mess, come inside. Get groceries put away, try to feed the kids, stories, naps. Ah, take a deep breath. Then try to get dinner made to feed the missionaries. Get the recipe box out, and bam, falls onto a little plant that Kedrick and the girls have been trying to grow since Christmas. Clean that up. Hurry and make dinner. Needless to say by the time the Elders got to our house, dinner wasn't ready and neither was I. But COME WHAT MAY AND LOVE IT. I give myself a 'B+' on my trying day. I kept a pretty optimistic attitude...I like it when I do that, it's pretty rare :)

Oh Kori, I feel your pain! I can't tell you how many times I have had a day like that! Have you read my 12 "somethings" of Christmas and It's prequel? I had another one yesterday that I will blog about if I get around to it! Days like that are the reason why I always go stare at my kids every night before I go to bed, no matter how tired I am. It always helps to see them beautifully innocent and not in trouble to remind me how much I really do love them!
Next time you have some big shopping to do, bring the girls over to play! Emma and Jenna would love it!
I need to be more like you Kori! I think I would have cried, MANY TIMES! That is what I love about you, you are such a strong person--thanks for being such a great example! Love ya!
Impressive that you kept your composure! I would have thrown a fit myself or gone to by room, shut the door, and go to sleep. lol. You are amazing. I want to be more like you.
Funny! I didn't hear about the last part of your day...sheesh, just when you thought it couldn't get worse! You're awesome, I would have just gone to bed with a book and some chocolate!
Wow, what a day. I give you an "A" for the day. You handled everything better then I would of. Props to you.
Oh Kori...I am sorry...but I couldn't help but laugh! Don't worry I wasn't laughing at how horrible your day was, but the way your wrote it...OH...I can just hear your voice and see your face...you poor thing! You did such a good job and I am proud of you for still having the missionaries over! I loved the part about your loony smile at the grocery store...oh I am still laughing! Thanks for making me smile. You are a trooper and I am so proud of your for attempting such a huge task! You are a great mom and I hope, even through the chaotic days, that you see that! love ya.
