Let me just start by telling you that here I am at 9:00 PM and I feel like I haven't slept in days! I am exhausted! Worn down to the core! I might as well have run a marathon today!! The really sad part is that my Children are Angels...both of them! Easy as pie! Micah never cries...only laughs, cooes, gurggles, and smiles with delight (unless Anna gets too excited and screams too loud, then he cries with pure terror and fear). Anna is happy, funny, and pretty self sufficient...but we are embarking on the "terrible twos'. With that said my life should be cake, right? Ever just have one of those days? It wasn't even the kids...just life happening. Random things that made this day enough to wear down even the most super of super moms!
We went to Target...a weekly ritual of course, to pick up some much needed supplies ( i sound like i'm living in the old west or something). As I am lugging both kids and all our wonderful purchases to the car, I notice that my very precious and stratigically placed diet coke had fallen over and spilt all over my 'supplies'. Not good. While whispering sweet curses under my breathe I pack up the kids and wet purchases into the Honda. Half way home Anna very politely informs me that she has 'pee-peed'. Ever had to take a carseat apart before?? We finally get home, Micah chillin' in his carseat happy as can be, to clean Anna up and get her down for her afternoon nap. I run out to the car to get the carseat out and bring it in for a nice washing...and as I lift it out of the car, pee pours all over my feet! Sweet! Again...while mumbling curses under my breathe I come inside try to wipe myself off, get Micah fed and down for his nap. Now with both kids down I think to myself, "Let's get the house cleaned!". I proceed to pour one of Franco's coffee mugs full of coffee all over the kitchen floor...mopping was not originally in my plans but now it is!! Anna gets up...Franco comes home...we have dinner...Franco and Anna go outside to do some 'motorcycle matainence' and I stay in to get more things done. Franco comes in to inform me that sweet Anna broke a window panel I had been saving on the back porch, it was going to be a neat decoration from an old farmhouse that Franco had worked on this summer...now it's gone. About ten minutes later...in walks Franco and and Anna...she has no pants on...we had another accident while playing outside. Now none of these things on their own would be that bad...but when it rains it pours, right?? I feel worn out and like I could sleep for days! I'll be honest and say that having one kid not so hard...having two, well that's another story!
But here I sit listening to two healthy, happy, beautiful children as they sleep peacefully in their beds. I can hear Micah's deep breathes over the monitor, and Anna as she occasionally rolls over in her bed...and I think to myself...I wouldn't trade my life for anyone elses!!! I am one lucky lady!

I was saddened to find that you left out my contribution from your bad day list. Let it be said that in addition to the previously mentioned items, you suddenly realized that you'd unintentionally signed up to be playing Martha Stewart on Sunday for a crowd of overstimulated 7 year olds who are wild about crafts. Your welcome!
I hope you all are doing well. It would be great to get together sometime soon. Keep it real.
Oh my gosh, this post just exhausted me and reminded me what it was like when my 2 were the same age as yours. But it makes me a little sad that they're not at those stages anymore. I hope your week has gone better!
