Ok, so I'm not blogging about something I'm thankful for everyday. Lately I've been extra thankful for my husband. I just think he's wonderful. I miss him a lot. My yard looks like crap. Oh, I'm also thankful that my cats killed (and ate) a squirrel. For those of you that do not know, I have a strong and passionate hatred for squirrels. They are evil!

Sunday night I decided to start singing (opera style) to my kids instead of yelling at them. Whenever I get really frustrated and feel like I'm about to blow a fuse I start singing at the top of my lungs about whatever it is that's driving me crazy, "I need you to stay in your bed, it is way past your bed time..." and so on. It has been great! Instead of being angry I begin to laugh and realize how silly it is that I am getting angry about this. I don't know how long this will last or how long it will remain funny, but I plan to enjoy it while it does last. I would like so much to be remembered as a mom who sang instead of a mom who yelled. My girl thinks it's funny and laughs hysterically. My boy thinks it's terrible and says, "Mommy stop, you're hurting my ears." It can't possibly hurt worse that anger.
