Crazy morning


So this morning I was wanted by both girls at the same time. It was insane...
First Hadley needed breakfast and then Ellie needed to eat too. Then Ellie likes to be bundled up so she can sleep. I did that and tried off and on all morning to get her to take a nap. Didn't work so well. She kept fighting it. Obviously she was hungry again so I fed her and then Hadley wanted candy. Ugh... I said no to the candy and said we needed to get changed... both her saggy diaper and clothes. So upstairs we went and did both... decided to try underwear to see if it would help her understand the concept of peeing in the potty. So after much discussion about not wetting her pants, it was the first thing she did after I started feeding Ellie. I finished feeding Ellie, changed Hadley into a bum genius (again thinking that she might feel the wetness better.) Back to playing, I tried again to get Ellie to nap, she sort of did, then I smelled the dreaded poop from Hadley. I asked if she pooped, "No" was the answer. I knew she was lying. Ellie was content, Hadley was playing... I paid a few bills. Then upstairs I went to check on Hadley and OMG... marker everywhere, on both her cheeks, on both her feet, on her kitchen, on her dishes, on her highchair, a doll, the floor, her shirt... Holy Moly where wasn't there marker? I yelled a little, gave her a timeout on her bed while she watched me clean up the marker. Thankfully it is washable and it all was gone except on the doll, didn't clean that yet. So after it was time to get her in the tub to clean her up... plus take off that stinky diaper, which was in a cloth diaper so ugh, I had to clean it. She listened and I talked to her about the marker, she seemed to get it. Who knows... Ellie cried off and on. She really wanted to nap and she needs to be rocked sometimes or just held. During the bath, I held Ellie, she drifted a little but not enough. I got Hadley out of the tub, dressed her for the third time. Put on a regular diaper... not going down the cloth diaper route right now. Now time for lunch. I nursed Ellie and she drifted again but not enough. But enough to get lunch done. Hadley ate everything. We had four cheese pasta and a half hotdog. She even sat there and looked at me and said, "Thanks mommy for making me lunch." I said your welcome and thought how could I ever be mad at this cute thing. She said it again and again. It was so cute. After lunch Ellie finally fell asleep long enough for me to put Hadley down for a nap. Then I was able to clean up a little, write this blog, surf the net some and well just relax with a diet coke until they both wake up. It is too much fun sometimes and I just have to laugh on days like this.
