Do you ever have days where you just feel cranky? You know, the kind of days where you don't really know why you are on edge, but watch out, because you are? Well, today was that kind of day for me. I am not really a grouch, in fact, I am pretty calm for the most part, but I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.

I rose with my eyes all puffy, but feeling like there was a lot of hope to get much accomplished. I sat on the couch with Den, and River even brought us each a cup of freshly brewed coffee, mine with cream. All should have been right in my world, but somehow it was not.

I found myself being gruff, and annoyed by the same basic commands that I have spoken a million times over. Why should I have to remind everyone in the house that the chores are to be completed by 8:30am AGAIN? Why is Abram crying over the waffle that is on his plate? Is anyone feeding the begging baby that is toddling under foot? Why is Isaiah chatting away with River,as if he doesn't have anything better to do? Don't these boys know that I feel like a bear this morning? Well if they didn't know it yet, they would soon.

I found myself feeling on edge over the most basic situations. No, I didn't want to try to guess what Abram had just drew on a piece of paper. Yes, of course we were going to do schoolwork today! No, don't answer the phone, that is what the answering machine is for, and why we have a message that says, "We homeschool until 1pm." Why are the towels back in the dirty clothes pile, when I just put them up last night? *big heaving sigh*

I feel super duper tired tonight. I am gonna have to pray for the strength to turn over a new leaf tomorrow. Thankfully, we only have to take life one day at a time, and tomorrow is a brand new day.
