One of Those Days

I often have "one of those days." Days where I am simply just flighty and forgetful. I'm sure many of you can relate. Today was different though. It wasn't like going grocery shopping at Walmart checking out and realizing my wallet was in my diaper bag and not my purse, hearing "beep" and realizing that Oak was locked in the car with both sets of keys, or forgetting that there was chicken boiling on the stove till it catches on fire.

It was one of those hard mommy days. A day where Oak and I just didn't seem to be on the same page. Oak and I both woke up with runny noses and what seemed to be on the wrong side of the our beds. His favorite word seemed to be "no" followed by uncontrolling whining and flailing. An impatient mommy and a very whiny toddler is not a good combination. With the help of Elmo and Handy Manny we did make it through.

I seem to be waiting for these hard days to become few and far between, however, I was reminded by a friend the other day that for the rest of our lives some days will be good and some days will be bad.

I find comfort in the fact that tomorrow is a new day and am reminded of the verse Lamentations 3:22-23, "Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; Great is they faithfulness."

Even on the hard days, I love being Oaks mom.
