A Rough Mommy Day

     Today was not my best day. :(  Work has been ToUgH!  Tough as in I ask myself how will I ever continue this craziness for the rest of my life.  My kids are driving me CRAZY at school.  It's been an interesting year to say the least, but I have had three move-ins in the last 3 weeks which brings my total up to 28.  This is the largest class I have ever had.  I also have the special ed. cluster of 7, which makes things even a little hairier.  (I am including all these details so one day I can hopefully think of this year as just one of those years...)  I feel like my kids are running me over...every...single...day!  I am not sure if it is all the factors going on in life right now (baseball (as everyone knows my husband leaves 2-3 mornings a week for batting practice at 6 a.m., doesn't return until after 8 p.m. and plays 5-6 days per week....I get to be a very single mommy :(, the lack of having our own house, the stress of buying, furnishing, thinking about our new house, school (+30) and work), but for the last few weeks it has just felt like too much (and we just had spring break!).  Today I had a very bad end to my day (second day in a row it was a rough day) and Camryn had not taken a very good afternoon nap.  She was so cranky.  I already had no patience and well....our evening just wasn't as enjoyable as I would have liked.  I was so short with her.  :(  When Chris came in he could tell I needed a break and took her to rock (One of my favorite things we do at night).  Then I felt bad. :( My precious girl, who I always complain that I don't ever spend enough time with and I couldn't wait for a moment to myself. I was so frustrated with her cries, her stubbornness, her neediness.  I was frustrated because that is what I deal with every day x 28.  Definitely feeling guilty..... and wondering if it's worth it. :/
