My blog is called Random Thoughts, so here are 10 random thoughts of today.
1. I don't understand how when we are busy and gone most of the weekend, our house is more of a mess than when we are in it all day.
2. Think I had a confirmed "sugar high" tonight at a cookie exchange. I had a weird buzzy feeling in my head and felt quite ill after eating one bite of about 15 cookies (though I did eat the entire half of a buckeye and an entire oreo truffle - which is now my all-time favorite dessert).
3. I have an amazing husband. He not only encourages me to go out, but also takes care of things marvelously at home and with the kids while I am gone.
4. Parenting requires consistent effort and sometimes I just want to sit and read a book. I just wonder why things have to constantly be a battle - I have a dream of being able to have a day where everything I say or ask will receive a "Yes, mommy" and it be done. Is that too much to ask?
5. I frustrate myself most of the time when I am in a group of women because of my big mouth and often regret opening my mouth so much and/or being so opinionated. But the next time I am in a group, I do it again. For some reason, the more uncomfortable I am in a group, the more I talk.
6. Even when I try to not spend a lot, little costs so quickly add up. I get frustrated because I look back and know that I used to be so much more thrifty.
7. Bella and Elias have been in swim suits the entire weekend around the house and Bella was very upset that she couldn't wear hers to church. My kids are constantly changing clothes and clothes are a constant debate in our house. So if anyone ever sees my kids wearing something outrageous one day, just know that I just didn't feel like having the fight over it that day!
8. I wish that I didn't get mail everyday. I feel like I fight this never-ending pile all the time, even though the majority of my bills are on automatic bill pay.
9. I think every year that I need to start on my Christmas letter and picture mailing earlier, but I am always getting it done at the last minute.
10. Continually wonder why when I feel the most stressed about all that I need to do, I actually do less.

I am totally with you on #5. As one of my friends used to say, my mouth doesn't get me in trouble it keeps me there.
I also struggle with whether or not to have the fight over what my girls wear so one time Lydia wore an old florescent dress, boot and swimming goggles to the store. I did however convince her to take off the goggles before we went in.
