Frustrating Day

Today was frustrating.  Lylah is amazing in so many ways, but sometimes she can really stress out her mommy and me.  We have had so much going on around us recently as well.  Here is what we are carrying on our shoulders right now:

1. Shannon and I are both one week away from Thanksgiving break.  This is always a tough time of year at school.  We haven't had much of a break leading up to Thanksgiving (a day here, and a day there).

2.  We just moved to a new house and we came into the house with a nice solid savings account.  But somehow, our money has gone rather quickly.  We are trying to sell items that we no longer need in hopes to make a bit of it back.  We are hoping to save up enough money to purchase a new oven soon.

3.  I sold a washer and dryer today that was left in the home.  They were very heavy to take down, and I took a chunk out of my wall... ugh.

4.  Cleaned up a small leak that I caused in a pipe the other day.

5.  We are still moving so many boxes, and other items, into the house.  It seems to be dragging on.

6.  Lylah is in the middle of a phase where she does not listen to the things we say.  Even though we may repeat some things several times, she is choosing to do whatever she wants to do.  Grumble.  This happens A LOT.

7.  We have several concerts coming up in the next few weeks.  Concerts are stressful.

8.  We want so many things for the home; however, see number 2 above.

Anyhow, Lylah and I did go down to the playground earlier today and had a blast.  We played magic games, and we ran around.  We went down the slide together and laughed.  I suppose those are the things I should be focused on.  But then again, to live fully, I think it's in my best interest to accept the great things in life, as well as the hard times.
