What Was She Thinking?

I decided a few days ago that I really needed to keep a thought journal on what on earth was I thinking... perhaps realizing that I shouldn't do it again, ha ha.  Anyway, here are a few of my 'What Was I Thinking?" moments this last week...

Wednesday - What was I thinking when I decided that dying eggs with the kids was a good idea?  After all, the kit said ages 7+, and I don't have any kids that age!  At least we got to learn what blue and red make, and blue and yellow... and yellow and red... and purple and yellow... etc.  I also had hands a lovely shade of rainbow!

Thursday - What was I thinking, making white cookies with two toddlers with an infant in the house?  Didn't I already realize that the second the hands were filled with cookie dough, the baby would need attention?  And the kids were uninterested the second the batter was made, leaving me to do all the rolling and cutting of cookies myself... although they did want to watch for a short while.  Not sure why they didn't want to help themselves... perhaps the wet sleeves from the attempts of washing their hands after licking the egg beaters may have had something to do with it.

Friday - What was I thinking, decorating those cookies at the gathering just before we were to pray?  I think only half of the cookies got nonpareils on them... the rest just had some quick icing spread on them so they could said to be 'decorated' before they were consumed by the masses!  :)  At least they were good!  I didn't have many to take home (for which I am thankful, those things are addictive).

Saturday - What was I thinking when I decided to give the kids their Easter baskets in the evening... especially since the day and evening was so hectic that it ended up where they got their baskets just before bath time and couldn't even enjoy them (and wanted to eat everything in there... which really wasn't much, but still... they did enjoy the tiny heart white cookies in the plastic egg!  And they are super excited about the giant butterfly/bunny cookie they will be eating later).

Sunday - What was I thinking?  Really?  I missed half the service with the timing of the feedings my daughter wanted (totally messed up from the day before I think, and I wasn't as good at keeping things the way they normally were).  Also, it continued being an issue through the entire day!  Yikes!

Stay tuned for today's episode of 'What was She Thinking'... when I attempt to take a nap, only to get to lie down for 2 minutes to be awoken by screams of hunger... right on cue.  Where did that hour go to?  Oh yeah... cleanup from gatherings, helping my son on the potty, then helping him with his blanket, telling my oldest to go back into bed, then helping my son on the potty again as this time was #2, then another blanket issue, then saying once again to get to bed and stop running around the room... finally silence... only to have a screaming infant.  At least my husband gets some rest.

Hm.  I think my mommy brain has kicked in for good!  Perhaps I should update with these regularly as they seem to happen on a rather regular basis, ha ha.
