Yesterday was a very long and frustrating day. Thursdays are my cleaning day, usually because we are home all day so I have some time to try to clean the house....don't be fooled usually I only get either the upstairs or downstairs cleaned, never both! Today, it was the downstairs that needed some serious attention (not that the upstairs doesn't, but I'll get to it eventually). I was feeling pretty good everyone was on a good schedule, the day was relatively uneventful. But then tornado Anna decided to show up. She managed to single handed undo everything that I did all day long! I cleaned up all the toys and put them back into their proper places, get the vacuum out and what does she do, get all the equipment out of the cleaning closet! I decided to let it go for now and continue my vacuuming. I turn the corner to vacuum the kitchen and what do I find but all the sandwich baggies out of their box all over the floor as well as two things of Saran wrap, unrolled all over the floor as well! By the time I get it cleaned up and finish vacuuming the kitchen there are toys all over the place again. That's it I give up, let's eat lunch! Not that lunch is much better since I started my Body After Baby eating program, so no more peanut butter for lunch for me, I get to have a salad and an orange, not fun!
Anna continued to deconstruct the house as when she woke up from nap she had taken off her pants and diaper and peed all over her bed! I guess this is her way of telling me she needed her sheets washed! Point taken. When Greg got home I thought it is a good day to take a family walk since the sun was shining and it would be nice for the kids to get out of the house. Boy was I wrong again! Sam declared that he was walking and not going in the stroller. Anna decided a block into the walk she was going to walk too. Okay, so this was hardly going to be exercise for me with these two out of the stroller, which yet again was frustrating. They proceeded to fight over who got to push the stroller and crying ensued. I decided to walk ahead with Brady and leave Greg with the kids. I had enough for one day and needed a break even if it was only a couple minutes.
My day today started in the best possible way today....5:30am I hear little Sydney (or Sydie as Sam calls her) making her little grunts. So, I peek into her bassinet, our eyes meet and she gives me this big grin as if to say, "there she is, I was trying to get your attention!" Of course my heart just melted! That was the first time she smiled without us trying to get her to do it!
But then I walked into Anna's room to find her pantless and yes diaperless yet again, and you guessed it with pee all over her bed yet again. I guess she is going to have to wear zip up PJ's to bed from now on!
Greg is home today since he has a day off every other week these days with his work schedule. It is always nice to have him home not only to spend time with him, but to have some help in the morning to get Sam to school. Greg decided to take Sam to Chuck E Cheese so I decided to have a spa day with the girls. Which really is Anna's spa day since Sydney is too little and really what am I going to do for Spa day with an almost two year old? So I painted Anna's finger and toenails. She found blue nail polish left over from wedding (something blue), and wanted her toenails painted blue. She loved it! I also gave her some aromatherapy lotion so the whole house smelled like a spa. When we were playing dolls, Anna also lifted up her shirt and put her doggie up her shirt and said, "Doggie milk." It was priceless.
