You ever have days where you feel like bad mom?

Yesterday started out great....we had a mostly sunny morning and early afternoon which has been rare for us, so we spent some much needed time outside. Went to the pool, blew bubbles, and drew some really crazy drawling outside with chalk....had snow cones for snacks......the kids and I had fun

Then we all come inside, sky started getting that dreaded grey again, and things just went to pot......my boys for a change were like angels (scary though ) and my oldest DD was awesome.......but my 3 and 4 year old seemed be possessed. I go to the bathroom, that's not to much to ask, is it? Come out to my whole bedroom covered in baby powder, not just one bottle, but two!!! I put their noses on the wall, clean up this mess, when I'm done cleaning (not including the laundry from my bed) I let them off the wall. Well I decided to do dishes, turn around and they have gotten into my bobbins for my sewing machine, and have the thread around all the kitchen chairs.....I couldn't believe it. (I was in the same room, but the chairs were behind me) It took me almost an hour to cut off all the thread from the chairs and find all the bobbins, while I did this I sent the girls to their beds. All is fine for an hour or two till it's time to cook dinner, in the middle of dinner and my 4 year old brings my oldest DD and bouquet of flowers......(they were sitting down watching a move nicely whenever I checked on them) Well I discovered it came from a floral arrangement hanging above my bed that was giving to DH and I when we got married. Which since we eloped was the only thing we have from our "wedding" day. I couldn't believe it.....I ended up calling my best friend to come over (DH is away for training) to talk to the girls while I cleaned up and calmed down.....I really was feeling like a lousy mom....I mean I check on my kids constantly when they are not in the same room with me, but obviously this didn't matter......Do you ever have days where you feel like you deserve the worse mother of the year award?

Sorry so long....
