Remember all that stress I've been under? Well, I'm not going to lie. It got to me. I just completely broke down. I let it ALL out. After the kids went to bed, thank goodness.
And you know what? I am SO glad that I did. I can't believe how much better I feel after just releasing all the tension I had built up.
And even better than that is that I actually felt competent today. In the morning, I was super exhausted, but I got the kids fed and bathed for church. They stayed entertained and didn't make the house any more of a disaster than it already was. I got them down for naps and got to rest a little myself. I got myself dressed and ready for church, woke up the kids, fed them, and got them dressed, too. I got them to church and I didn't have to walk out embarrassed with a screaming child even once during sacrament meeting. Lily kept her hair nice most of the time, Gabriel kept his tie on the whole time, and we didn't lose any toys.
I rocked it.
Side note: When I had gotten myself ready and went to get Gabriel, he woke up, looked at me, and said, "That's okay. You can wear that dress to church. That's a church dress."
Um...thanks for the approval, kid.
