Manic Monday | Photography Business Goals | Personal

Hello friends! So, if you didnt read my post yesterday, you may not know why I was not able to post a “Manic Monday” on the blog! My son, Carter, accidentally, spilled an entire drink onto my laptop. Yay!!!! It happened at the perfect time of year….you know, CHRISTMAS! And not only that, but the big gift from “Santa,” hasnt arrived yet, so thats even better!! Wow. Im not sure if anything else can go wrong, other than the fact that my kids have been pushing each other’s(and our buttons!) NON-STOP ever since they got out of school. I mean, do they bottle it all up inside and can’t help themselves, or do they know exactly how to make their parents go crazy?!?!?! Im not sure, but either way, I am ALREADY going insane and we aren’t even two days into the break! I can’t see this going well…..SO, parents…if you have ANY suggestions, comments, advice, etc to give, PLEASE DO!!! I NEED it haha!

I always have high expectations and awesome, fun plans in mind, but it seems that the moment the kids start arguing, I lose all of my ambition and want to give up. Someone please tell me I am not the only one! Ughhhhhhh! AND…to top it all off…..some sort of alarm keeps going off in our house….like…every. two. minutes. Doesn’t that sound FUN?!?!?! I don’t have the energy right now to even think about what the heck it is. I just keep sighing to myself in hopes that it will magically GO AWAY! …….ANYWAY! This has not been a good start to Christmas week and I am feeling very….Ba Humbugish…. I KNOW that I should be more grateful, thankful, happy, and excited for this time of year, but I just cant. AND, to top it ALL off, I havent finished Christmas shopping! Not. Even. Close. I know how awful, selfish and self-loathing I sound right now, but its just how I feel and I am not going to lie. 🙁 It really doesnt feel like Christmas and I not matter how hard I try, I just cant make myself feel like it is…..I pray that this week gets better and that I can feel the Christmas spirit. So, if you are reading this and feel compelled, please pray for me this week and our family. We need to feel the Christmas spirit in our home and in our hearts.
