Joys of Motherhood

Day in the life of me today.....

.... Cash woke up and went potty "Yellow" all over the bathroom floor

.... threw gross stuff in laundry and did a load

.... Belle woke up with croup or something... again...- she can't stop coughing. I broke out the humidifier, did steamy shower, did the works and we are.... back to where we began two weeks ago

....  Folded laundry and Cash laughed and kicked my folded laundry everywhere

.... Cash went Yellow in his pants

.... Did another sick load of laundry and did another load

.... Belle and Cash had a kicking fight which turned into time out for a while

.... Cleaned Belle's room while she laid in her bed

.... Fed Paige and after came into my once cleaned room to find it trashed- made the kids clean it up

.... Cash went yellow all over the bathroom again.... He is starting to think it is funny to go Yellow anywhere but the toilet. He has not worn diapers for 4 days... including nights and all of a sudden today he doesn't care.... Not wanting to give up I threw another pair of potty pants on him.... Cinderella ones to be exact because were out of his and then we talked forever about going potty on the toilet.

.... Threw the gross stuff in the laundry basket and just left it there

.... Felt very overwhelmed

.... Made fruit pizzas to try to do something fun so the kids could frost them and put fresh raspberries and strawberries on them.

..... After telling Cash not to eat the frosting because it was made with cream cheese and butter which he knows not to eat....grabbed the bowl while I was giving Belle her lunch and put it on the floor and ate fingers full of the frosting ...

.... I had a heart attack since he has milk allergies and rushed benadryl down his throat and sent him to bed for not listening for the 100th time today

.... Belle feeling left out of being in trouble decided to start screaming and throwing a fit about going to bed. WHICH I DIDN'T EVEN SAY SHE WAS GOING TO BED!!!... she kept saying, "No no Mom I won't go to bed." In her damsel in distress scream and then acted like I was throwing her in the dungeon and had a scared face as I was just looked at her confused out of my mind.... and then she went to bed too!

.... Reminded myself how much I adore and love my children!!!

.... Kids woke up in the middle of a Young Womens meeting I was having and the lady left shortly after.... I bet you could guess why!

.... Belle and Cash ripped a kite apart and trailed it through the house.... Blue string that looked like streamers were everywhere.... hints why I never answer my phone, sorry Tanna!

.... Cash ripped the screen right off from the window that was open

.... Cash went Yellow all over the living room carpet

.... I LOST IT....

.... I scrubbed the carpet, threw a diaper on Cash, made them clean up the kite strands everywhere, and started lecturing them for like an hour... Monkey came home to this beautiful site

.... As we speak Belle is yelling "Daddy NOOOO!"

This was my day.... I bet tomorrow will be much better... I am very hopeful!!!!!!

Whew! You go girl! Being a mom is hard work, and you deserve so much credit! I think that is why motherhood is so special and sacred, because you can have crazy days like that, but still love your kids to death, and still want to do it all over again! Max is just a little guy, but I know i'll be in your shoes soon, and then I'll call you everyday :)
