The Hot-Mess Blog Hop

 

Sometimes life looks like this. That’s okay.

I just want to go back to bed. My energy just isn’t there. I slept later than I should have and never recovered. The “to file” stack of papers is so high that the children knocked it over, and I’m pretending like I don’t see it.

If I weren’t a home school mom with a need to prove myself, I would so burn all those useless old worksheets….

It’s just one of those days. I feel tired. In my head, I start to run away to …..okay I have no idea where to run, but you get the idea.

The physical therapy office just called me to inform me that I missed my appointment. I had the appointment time wrong on my schedule. I DO have childcare planned for that time, so I just got a brilliant idea…..

TIME OFF!!!!

I am so going to get a hair cut! Wild, right? These are the things that make me happy!

Also, there is no dinner. This is one of those days.

I had a successful mid-morning. The boys did plenty of math and reading. I even let them paint. That was when I began to get tired…

So let’s link up. Link up your messies, and we can laugh at each other together. I’m convinced that God never meant for us to get so serious that we can’t laugh at ourselves.

Bloggers: Add any blog post that included your messy/tired or crazy day.

Friends: Leave a comment and tell me about a messy day that you had. Or you can post a photo to the comments on my blog Facebook page. 

Mom: Call me and give me a pep talk. 🙂 Thanks!

Let the party begin!

    • Oh, I did! The hair cut was sort of a mistake, though. Oh well, hair grows back.

  • I'm all about the hot messes! So happy to "meet" you and be invited to link up.

  • This is an incredible blog hop. I'm sure I have plenty to contribute - but I have to look.
    I'm the biggest, hot mess on the planet right now! And not the biggest, hottest on the planet because I feel about as hot as a fire hydrant!

    • hahahahaha I got a good chuckle out of this comment, Tamara! Thank you. Yes! Look around and join us. :)

    • Haha! You aren't at all. BUT I know that you're funny and you're REAL, so I knew you'd be a perfect fit. :)

  • I really went back into the archives for this one so don't judge me to bad on my newly found writing lol

  • Maybe the older two could sort papers for you and take care of that stack. Hope the hair cut revived you and things are looking up.

    • Thank you. I will be all better after a good night's rest, and I just took my Nyquil. :) The haircut...was sort of an oops.
