Break with no break

Today I did some of my homework and managed my home responsibilities. First, I read the gospel of Matthew and took notes. Then I cooked breakfast and made sure the boys had lunch. In addition, I made burgers for dinner (my wife helped too). I was also able to get in a little time to play my PlayStation 2. Despite all my best efforts I still ran into some difficulties in my day.

My oldest son "Mooky," the two-year-old, refused to eat anything that we provided for him. He repeatedly told my wife and I that he was in fact hungry but unwilling to take what we were offering. He lack of nourishment and sheer frustration with us fueled his foul mood. By the time my wife began working on our taxes, I needed some fresh air. The food war with my son finally got to me. "Meatball," the eleven-month-old, was taking a nap so my wife suggested that I just take a drive to clear my mind.

While I was getting dressed to leave "Meatball" woke up and "Mooky" was saying, "socks and shoes on." He wanted to leave with me which defeated the point of me leaving in the first place. I put my own feelings to the side then I put his socks and shoes on so we could leave the house together. I took that time to go to the library to return a past due Thomas (his favorite character that we must watch each day) DVD.

I intended on just staying at home today, but with "Mooky" my plans don't mean a thing!

I love him anyhow.
