Family game night/ weekend EPIC FAIL!

On Friday the kids and I were blessed enough to have a snow day....yes we still live in Texas!  It was a freak of nature but we got quite the ice storm so the roads were a mess therefore we were granted a "snow day".  The day started out great.  I was able to get some snuggles from the boys, we did an art project together, made dinner together and played a few games.  Unfortunately I had to work so "our perfect day ended at 4pm.

Saturday I woke up feeling exhausted. I still am not sure where I got the energy to finally get up, get dressed and take Connor out shopping and then to a birthday party.  Although we were home by 5pm on Saturday evening I was exhausted, and very irritable.  I felt even worse because upon coming home I saw 6 games laid out on the floor, Noah was expecting family game night.  I really was in no mood to play games, and I tried to get the boys to have a family movie night instead but they really wanted game night.  Craig, Noah and Connor won an we had game night.  We played Left, Right Center first, and it was a quick uneventful game.  Next we played Sorry.  Every turn I had to remind Craig to play (he was busy working on his computer or playing on his cell phone.) I also had to remind Noah and Connor when it was their turn (they were too busy wrestling, or goofing off).  I was so annoyed.  I was the only one whom didn't want to play and here I was the ONLY ONE actually PLAYING! Finally the game ended and I was trying to call it quits when I somehow got suckered into playing Small World. To play this game I NEEDED a glass of wine, so my sweet husband got one for me. I had the glass (a very large, full glass) of wine sitting on the table when Connor accidentally knocked it over.  I completely lost it. Nothing I wanted that day, was going right, all I wanted was sleep, so I went to bed. 

Sunday I woke up feeling a little better but my mood quickly faded. I wanted to go take Noah shopping, come home, clean, then relax, however Craig convinced me to shop with everyone then go out to help Noah with a leaf collection.  It took Craig 2 hours to get ready. I was annoyed.  I wanted to go go go, and he wanted to take his sweet time.  The day eventually got better and the leaf project wasn't all that bad.

I just feel like all weekend, I was a Debbie Downer, and that I was so mean.  I have no idea why I didn't just enjoy the time I was having with my family. Some people don't get the chance to spend weekends with their loved ones, and here I am just blowing the weekend away.  So next weekend will be better.  Friday night, game night.  Saturday night GIRLS NIGHT(I haven't been out with the girls in probably a year) and then Sunday a family day.
