Thurs Jan 14th

I've been cranky all day. In fact I've been cranky since yesterday's homework. Actually I guess I wasn't cranky when I woke up. Link was up at 6:39am again. I read my scriptures while I fed him. Then Ella got up and I convinced her that we should start her homework. We wrote a comic strip with her spelling words and she started her drawings. Unfortunately she did not finish it which left me with more torture after school. 

I did get a 6.66 mile run though, which was great. Nick watched the kids so I could get out on the Jordan River trail. I think it may have worn me out though. I haven't been very patient to my clinging baby or emotional 4 year old, let alone my homework avoiding 8 year old. 

Now I'm in the car waiting for Ella to finish tutoring and trying to wrangle the other two kids in the car. Not ideal. I think next time I'm going to take the other kids to McDonald's to play during tutoring. Less pain for all of us. 

We got most of the garage cleaned out after the kids were in bed. That felt great!
