Well, THAT was Interesting…

Today was quite the day.  It started out okay, much earlier than usual, but okay. L was up at 7am…early but doable. K woke up her usual smiley self.  It was snowing- which brought GREAT excitement to the little ones. K kept pointing to the windows and yelling “NOO NOOOO”(her version of “snow”, since she hasn’t mastered the ‘S’ sound at times). L made big plans to build a snowman. For those of you who live round here…there is no where near enough snow to do such a thing.

So for the most part, this morning was just fine. Then….well, I am not sure what happened. But all I know is I was smack in the middle of my very own Calgon commercial. I even sent a text to Dan- “Day has gone bad…send wine”. The babe was a major “cling on”, which I am not used to. She is usually a very independant little one. But tonight, I could NOT put her down or she would SCREAM! She would NOT goto Daddy. She wanted to be held and by Mommy only. She only gets like this when she is sick-so, now I am sitting here with fingers and toes crossed that she is NOT coming down with anything.  She took a late evening nap and seemed better…but the damage was done. I got behind on my to do list! And making dinner with her being attached to my hip was less than ideal.  But we made it through.  I had left my baby carrier in the car and with the FREEZING temps, I decided it would stay in the car.

As K seemed to be coming out of her mood, L got over tired(bear in mind she was up at 7 when she normally sleeps till 9 on my days off). So the whining began…and got louder….and didn’t stop.   I wanted to find my old ear plugs. Thankfully Dan took my text seriously and had stopped for a bottle of wine on his way home from work.  I had 4 glasses before we even had the girls in bed.

Our normally(relatively) peaceful bed time was even off…L wanted to kiss K, K had no intentions on kissing anyone. L’s nose was stuffy from whining and the subsequent crying that ensued. K was NOT thrilled wth her sisters loud blowing of her nose.  But within minutes of “lights out”, all was finally quiet. And here I sit, no one hanging on me, whining to me, asking me to do something to or for them. Dan has gone to bed.  Its just me and the news of the day that I am finally getting the chance to catch up on.   All is quiet…for now….
