I spent most of today entirely irritated. I'm feeling overwhelmed by the two youngest kids a lot lately - all their energy and noise and touching makes for an overstimulated Mom. Then my oldest came over today and she has a tendency to brag about stuff that always just kinda puts me in a bad mood. Plus I asked the boys to do dishes today and only one of them did and it was a crappy load, so it all just adds up to a slightly irritated me today.

I finally got some content edited and uploaded and caught up on some blogging stuff, so at least I'm feeling mildly accomplished which is nice because I was really reeling about my lack of completing things. I hate when I have all these things that I want to do (not that I need to do) but can't seem to force myself to get them done. It makes me annoyed and disappointed in myself.

It's been cold and gloomy the last couple of days. On one hand, it's been so nice. I absolutely love gloomy rainy days. However, it's been so cold - we literally had to turn our heat on the other day because it was so cold you could see your breath! Being all curled up in blankets has been making me feel all sore and uncomfortable but it's nice being able to cuddle for sleep.

Well, that about all I have to say for today I think…
