I really don't want to have to confess because what I have learned about myself today is that I am not really a nice person so I will keep it short.

1. I am running on little sleep which translates into very little patience...recipe for disaster when combined with a newborn and two toddlers. I have already raised my voice and cried today...it's only lunchtime!

2. I drove through McDonalds for a $1 sweet tea which equals small sips of bliss for Mommy even while people are fussing.

3. I keep having dreams of me running - not sure what that means for me metaphorically but I know that I can't wait to exercise again and attempt to get back in shape. Not looking forward to those first runs though, they are so difficult especially when you feel the extra baby weight flapping along as you run. The first time I ran after the twins I swore I was wearing someone else's butt...no joke.

4. I need to stop eating junk food or I really will be wearing someone else's butt...

5. My 2yr old son is apparently cutting his molars..explanation for lots of testy behavior and some other issues he was having. Sorry Deano...

6. I am now addicted to watching Paula Deen on the Food Network - love that woman mostly because as if Mac n cheese isn't good enough alone - she wrapped in bacon and DEEP FRIED it in an episode I watched last week! Amazing! But about all that healthy stuff...

I think I will keep all the rest of my personal uglies to myself today but just putting it out there that we all have good and bad days. It's naptime right now so I will attempt a little rest myself and hopefully be a nicer mommy to all later today :) Happy Monday friends!
