Mountains and Valleys

Today was a great day! We got up on time and stopped to get donuts on our way to church. It's such a nice little treat that I can give the kids. Church was great. Being surrounded by my friends and knowing that they are keeping me in their prayers so helps! After church we went to Kohl's. Mikayla was in need of some new pants and Jonathon could use a few more long sleeve t-shirts. I got exactly what we for too! Jonathon came home with dragon and dino t-shirts and Mikayla got 2 new pairs of pants and a sweater jacket. Then it was on to the grocery store to pick up the few things that I had forgotten to get on Friday. Our day was going pretty good. But then we got home. And I went from Good mommy to mean mommy. I just got in a funk and wanted to be left alone. But my precious little ones turned it in to a game. If I said go play in our rooms they would run out of the room only to return a few seconds later saying "Mommy mommy mommy..." till I would yell for them to leave again. I just needed a few moments I was loosing it. I wanted to break down and cry but I never got the chance. Now the house is quiet just what I thought I wanted and yet I haven't found peace in it. There will be ups and downs. I know if I want to be on the mountain top I have to walk through the valleys first. It's just been a hard night. And hopefully a good nights rest will see us off to a good day tomorrow. Tomorrow morning is Mom's group and then lunch at the church. Have a great night.
