One of those Days

Today was one of those days where EVERYTHING made me mad.  Seamus bounced off the walls, literally, Declan fussed no matter what I did, the house seemed to get messier and messier and all I wanted to do was have 5 minutes to myself.  5 minutes of quiet, 5 minutes of me.  So I did what any other sane person would do, I yelled and yelled and slammed door and finally left.  Where did I go you ask?  The grocery store, yes, the grocery store.  Anytime I really need time to myself and just don't feel like exercising  (AT ALL) I go to the grocery store and walk up and down every isle and it may seem silly but it gives me time to clear my head and get my mind focused back on taking care of my family and how blessed I am to have money to buy food and the ability to make yummy meals for my family.

I came home renewed and grateful.  I baked a loaf of irish soda bread and prepared some cookie dough from one of our Hemlock Inn recipes that will be baked later tonight or tomorrow.  Tomorrow is another day and I will make the best of it.

MOVING!!

This is going to be a very short post.  I realize that I have not posted in almost a YEAR!!  WOW time goes by too fast.  We are in the process of completing a move to North Carolina with an almost 2 year old and a 2 1/2 week old.  Needless to say things are a little hectic right now!  With this move I am getting the opportunity to be a stay at home mom with our 2 boys, which will also give me more time to blog.  So there it is (I told you a short post) but I will be back after a little unpacking and organizing.  Oh and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Labor day weekend we took a fun family trip to visit my Dad's family in upstate

New York.

We (me, Chad, my dad and Seamus) loaded up the car, yes the car, and drove

14 hours

to New York. We drove through the night so that Seamus could sleep as much of the trip as possible. It worked. He slept the whole night, which was the bulk of the drive, and we arrived about 10am on Friday. It was a great trip and Seamus got to meet his Great Grandparents (on my dad's side). We got to visit all of my dad's siblings (he is one of 7) and Seamus got to meet lots of family!
