Would you like fries with that?

Today was the day where I considered flipping burgers @ McDonalds just to get out of the house. We invited We were invited over ourselves over to Maeve & Henry's this morning, so the kiddos could run around and us mama's well, we could chit chat and have coffee. Reyna woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. She was being difficult from the moment her tootsies hit the ground. I fixed breakfast, got the girls settled in watching PBS and took a shower. During my 5 minute shower, Ruby had enough time to waddle her way back to the backroom and flood the water cooler and floor. Great.

Note to self, clean water up later.

As I am getting ready and struggling to get Reyna dressed, Ruby has discovered a full garbage in the bathroom and starts picking thru feminine hygeine (sorry people they were used) products. Gawd! I could have died at this point. After I sanitized the hell out of my child, I still had another that was running around stark naked.

After several failed attempts, I threw in the towel. I cancelled our playdate. It about killed me too because I needed to get out of this house more than the girls.

It's February. We have loads of snow. We're cooped up. Spring can get here, like anytime now.

I made Reyna nap today. I firmly told her it was not an option. She fell asleep pretty quick and the rest of the afternoon went smooth. The girls played well. I left @ went to aerobics and had sushi afterwards with Em.

When I walked in the door tonight, I heard Reyna sneak out of her room and ask Jade if I was home. She ran to me, threw her arms around my legs and told me how much she missed me and loved me.
It was pretty darn sweet.

I guess being a stay at home mom outweighs flipping burgers.

What is it with the bathroom trash and toddlers?! B.riar loves to get into mine - but only during that one week when I wish she wouldn't!

I am sorry you had such a rough day and am glad you were able to get out at the end to enjoy some time with another adult - and that Reyna made your homecoming so much better!

I love how little ones can be such stinkers and then put on all of their cuteness at the end of the day! It does seem to instantly make up for the chaos of the day, but you have to wonder where it was all day when you needed it!
C'mon Spring!
It cannot get here fast enough :)
