Mother of the Year Award

I have been struggling with trying to get back on track. Yesterday wasn't a good one.
The kids were snails at getting thier chores done in the morning. That started it off right.
I had a staff meeting at work. To make it more fun for the older ones to hang out instead of going to the daycare I bring the laptop and let them watch a movie quietly behind the white board. People brought in treats so I even gave them a plate full of candy.
They decided that they wanted to start a fight in the middle of me delivering my stuff to the 25 people in the room. I got really mad, but tried to contain myself for the crowd.
Then Bryon's bus was late because of the snow so I took them to Walmart to grocery shop. Not the best idea I know, but what else was I supposed to do? I had an hour before he was going to show up.
Curse them darn heeleys!!
Ethen wore his and was weaving in and out of people and racing down the aisles. After three times of warning him, I finally told him that if he wheeled one more time, I would make him take off his shoes and he could walk around Walmart in his socks. The look of shock on his face gave me a good impression that he understood me.
5 minutes later he raced passed me. I called him over to the cart and yes I made him take them off. Just then Bryon shows up and watches as I make our 6 year old take off his shoes. Then I realize that he didn't wear socks!! Nastiness. But I stuck to my guns. I made him walk the rest of the time in bare feet.
I did let him put them on before we went outside. I am not that cruel.
