Can I have wine with that?

I am annoyed today... seriously annoyed. There were many contributing factors, but at this point - kids in bed, wine in hand - I have decided to write it all down.  


I am not one of those moms. You know the ones I mean - and don't get me wrong, I am friends with some and love them and their parenting - but you know.. the ones that for them, everything is perfect. Even if they are walking around with spaghetti in their hair (haha...like they ever have a hair out of place), they still think their little darlings are perfect, motherhood is perfect, life is PERFECT.  


That is soooo not me. Today sucked. It started out ok.. Oldest got out of bed without a second light flickering. Little 2 woke themselves up. No one was running behind - it was a really good start to the day. I even went to the gym.  And that's when it all started to go downhill.  Dinner was being debated (at no point did I let them think we live in a democracy) Normally complacent middle child was pulled into a vote (again..not a democracy). No one listened when we got home, bath time was a mess. I yelled at everyone ..everyone! Finally get them all in bed, turn on American Idol, only to have the smallest one get up an hour after her bedtime to tell me she has to pee, and "can I come hold her on the potty cuz she doesn't need the potty seat anymore". Then I must've scared her because she forgot pink bunny downstairs and she came back in tears because she can't walk 2 feet without him.


So all I can think at that point is... "Can I have wine NOW?"


update:
I came back from a wine run in the kitchen to almost sit down on a tinkerbell DS stylus and think to myself... aww...
