Patience on a Shift Day

I don’t like days I have no patience, but I especially hate it on shift days.  Today is one of those days.  Kids aren’t being bad at all, I’m just lacking patience.

Thankfully I saw it happening so I’ve been working hard not to be snippy. But there are still 4 more hours before I make them go to bed. lol  Am I going to survive the summer?!  2 more weeks and they’ll be home every day.  ahhhh

I’m trying to keep myself busy, maybe I just needed to sleep in a little longer this morning.  One thing I know for sure is I’ve been busy for days.  Running around with my errands, others errands, cooking and cleaning hasn’t even happened yet.  Possibly I shouldn’t have taught seniors class this morning as it just seemed like one more thing, but it’s one of my few times I try to ignore everything else.  Plus I had 12 seniors show up so it was worth having class :)

The weather has been absolute garbage all May and no hope of getting better. I know that’s not helping my mood any.  Then I want to go up to a Revitalizing Your Spirit event at our longhouse and of course hubby has to work.  It’s a 2 day event.  I can work around the kids, but it’s the dogs that put a kink in everything.  That didn’t help my mood any, but hopefully I can get it figured out.

Like I said, the kids have 2 more weeks left of school.  4 days this week and hubby has tech drill and then 2 days of extrication class.  MAN, no wonder why I’m getting so snippy.  Over 3 weeks without a sunny day, very little time alone with hubby this week & kids home soon, and a ton of laundry still to do.

<sigh> I’m just out of patience for it all and with too many excuses why! I just need to grab a funny movie and veg out.
