Summer daze………

Some summer daze are great and some are more difficult. Today it was sunny for the first time in weeks, maybe even months. That was a plus and we were able to go to the pool since the marine layer was over the beach. The beginning of the day was hectic because everyone was bored ten minutes after they woke up and everyone wanted different things to eat, and play with and where> This is tough for me since I always want to please. I went to the gym, then to Trader Joes and spent a bloody fortune. Then when I got home and asked the kids to help with groceries, they acted like I am so demanding. I was trying to feed a bunch of kids, lunch and not one person was content. I was stressed out. This is where I should just let it go but I keep trying and then get super frustrated. I am really trying to get my kids to listen and help out but I have to make up for lost time and that is super hard. My friend Charlene helps me a lot and I am going to have Cami, a friend and school teacher come and get some more structure in this house. I am noticing how bad it is especially in the summer because they are around all of the time, and so are the friends kids and neighbors. I love it but need to be respected and listened to more. I cleaned up today two times and had to yell a few times to get them to pick up after themselves……Well I guess there is nobody to blame but me and maybe……….
