Grouchy Mom Needs A Hobby.....

I just lost my cool big time with my kids.  I feel bad.  I way over reacted about the way they were cleaning up the playroom.  I need to take a minute to calm down.  I just don't understand.  Why can't they just put things away where they belong, instead of stuffing everything away in totally the wrong place?????????  Why?????   It is crazy...  Really just crazy.   Anyway, I suppose I better go supervise now....  I will write more later....

Okay, the children are tucked safely away in their beds, and I have some peace.  After my little temper tantrum at them, they started cleaning up nicely, and now we have a decent playroom again.  I still feel a bit guilty though because I lost my temper.  We had a nice dinner, then finished the book we have been reading...  The Twits, by Roald Dahl.   Wait...  are we supposed to underline book titles or put them in quotes?!?  I can't remember....  I never was much for grammer (or whatever it's called).  Ha!  Anyway, it was a funny, very crude little book.  All of Roald Dahl's stuff is...  Very politically incorrect and rude.  Maybe that's why he was one of my favorite authors growing up...  I had never read that one, so it was a treat for me as well.

I have decided that I need a hobby... besides sitting on my butt cruising around on the internet.  Yes, I should take up drawing again or something.  I used to draw all the time years and years and years ago.  It has been at least 15 years since I have even attempted to make a serious sketch...  I doodle all the time though...  Especially when I'm upset or can't sleep.  In fact, last night, after my two cups of coffee (big mistake), while I was wide awake and wishing I could sleep, I started doodling.  It worked like a charm.  Well first my hand went numb- somehow I don't think that's a good thing- then I got very sleepy.  Haha!  Anyway, maybe I should pick up a pencil sometime and get out my sketch pad.  Who knows, I may like it....
