I wonder how anyone can have a bad day by 8am in the morning.
Starting with Sadie waking at 5am followed by Cameron soon after. They had gone to bed late so they have been really exhausted. There were fits over toothbrushes, fits over what we could dress up in. (I don't like Cameron to play dress up with his or Sadie's clothes... It just makes more laundry and we know I don't want that) Then fits over what we were eating for breakfast and even a fit over the fact that the pancake would not stay on the fork!!!!
Then I went to make my MUCH NEEDED CUP OF COFFEE and we are out of COFFEE Filters.
7:00am I give the children a bath, but I'm not dressed I'm still walking around in a tank top, and PJ pants, and of course NO BRA!!! I'm due to walk at 8:30am so I have more then enough time.
That brings me to the icing on the cake.
At 7:45 this morning there is someone knocking at my door. (not gonna lie it seemed like a pounding on the door) . Now usually if it is Mikes workers I know they can wait a min. and I can go get something a little more presentable on before I answer the door. Well today I look to see my former landlord standing there. So I panic just out of sheer shock and open the door not even thinking about what I'm wearing!!! But once I did I totally relized what I was wearing and then tried to play the cover up game with the door and my arm. I mean I should never be seen with out a bra, it is just bad news. I was so embarrassed!!!! And he needed to know where mike was. Of course Mike was at work not at home, however was in a meeting with his new boss. GOOD GRIEF!!!
Needless to say I'm treating myself to a Dunkin coffee this morning!!!

The truth!!!
I didn't know what to write about so I thought I'd share this little thing that happened yesterday!!
My husband finally spoke his view on our "story"
When you meet new people a question often asked "is how did you and your husband meet??"
Well for those that know Mike and I you know the story- we've known each other sense we were 3 and 4; started dating at 13 &14; then broke up at 17 & 18; got back together at 19&20, engaged at 21&22, married at 22&23, Kids by 25&26 etc.
Well When I tell the actual story the break up at 17 & 18 is generally told by me I always say initiated the break up and of course I go into the drama "That mike started during the break up" I must say I'm never fair in telling the story I make Mike look like the bad guy during the break up always laughing about it of course... Then I explain that at the end of my freshman year of college we get back together leaving out details because they aren't funny. And he generally keeps quiet, but not Last night. He turns to our friends after we are laughing about some of the drama ("That he started" of course) and He then he chimes in "YEA BUT WHO CAME CRAWLING BACK???" Of course totally true, but man I now know he totally enjoyed and was amused by me and my completely humbling moment in life!! The truth comes out!!!
To funny!!!

The new battle
So I was wondering today am I alone??? Does anyone else's 2/3 year old do this
I have a strong willed child!!! His new way of control is to play this new game. Here is how the dialog will go
Me: Cameron let's go read books before naps
Cameron: No I don't want to read books
Me: O.k but you still have to take a nap
(I put Cameron in his bed)
Cameron: I want books
Me: O.k.
(Lay down to read a book)
Cameron: I don't want books
Me: I leave
Cameron: Scream and cry, "I WANT BOOKS"
All until he falls asleep!!
He has been doing this for everything!!! (play dough, movies/TV shows, Playing outside)
Bottom line is I think he has to many choices... All because I really don't care. I don't care if he plays with play dough (either you want to do something special or you don't) But man my kid is trying to control me and stall when he does this switch of choices!!! And I find it really FRUSTRATING!! Is ignoring it the best thing. Sometimes I leave the books out so he can look at them himself or I will leave the play dough on the table so when he wantst to play with it he can go get it.

On my own pool side!!!
So I decided to try a day at the pool me, the kids, and an array of friends. It was actually not so bad. Cameron is actually quite independent at long as his swimmies are on. So really I only have to hover over Sadie. And hover is what has to be done because she is a little dare devil. She always wants to be in the action and she is fearless. (nothing like her mother)
We had one little miss hap where she went diving off the step to grab the toy that floated away from her he ended up fully under the water. All within an arms reach. I scooped her up and she was fine. And she napped from 1:30-4:00 when I woke her up to go home. So the afternoon was for the most part a breeze. (minus the anxiety of not being able to hear her if she cried and fearing she would wake my napping in-laws).
It was a great day!!! and I'm tired!!!
