Not AGAIN!!!

September 19, 2019 by Molly Leave a Comment

When it rains, it pours. 
We’ve had beautiful, sunny weather outside lately, but a combination of the following things has been a recipe for a perfect storm at the Kissel house:
1. An ornery, disagreeable four-year-old.
2. A husband who has been super busy with work commitments.
3. A toddler who doesn’t want to nap, screams bloody murder at all hours of the night, and deems it necessary to wake up between the hours of 4:45am and 6:00am no matter how much/little sleep she has gotten. 
My goal for yesterday was to NOT run to the garage freezer and stuff a cookie in my mouth every time there was a tantrum going on . . . and I’m proud to see I achieved that goal. Barely.
This is Emmy after 30 solid minutes of screaming at nap time. She slept for 5 minutes and then woke up when I tried to lay her down. Why did I try to lay her down you ask? Because Lucy was on the loose in the house and I was worried that if I left her unattended too long that she’d find her way outside to kiss a salmonella covered frog or pet a snapping turtle . . . because the girl WILL NOT stay away from any type of living critter. But that’s a blog post for another day. 
I’m tired of not enjoying my kids, so I’m making this a short post so I can go cross a few things off my to do list and then relax a little before bed and wake up tomorrow ready to tackle whatever crazy behaviors are thrown my way. . . in a positive, well-meaning mama kind of way.
Have a great weekend!!
XOXO

Classroom Before and After

Happy First Day of School! I’m coming up for a very quick breath of air to share my classroom before and after pics. I signed my contract at 3:30pm last Tuesday . . . that’s one week ago today. There was a lot of excitement and a lot of tears. In the blink of one […]

Mrs. Kissel: 2nd Grade Teacher!

Surprise! There are three Kissel ladies going back to school this year. Emily starts Kindergarten, Lucy’s in 2nd grade…and I’m coming out of retirement to teach second grade!!! (Not Lucy’s class!) I was hired Monday afternoon, and the amount of overwhelm and range of emotions I’ve felt since then has been, well, overwhelming! To those […]
