Soooo frustrated today... Nothing life altering, just general existing is hard kind of stuff.
My day started at the dentist, 7 am, two fillings. While in the dentist chair, I noticed a big blue ink stain on my favorite jeans, boo. Vanilla Latte, a few moments of quiet in the car driving home, up and dressed before 8 am...I had big plans for a fabulous day despite the altered favorite jeans and the numb and tingling mouth. When I arrived home, all was quiet on the western front. The girls were still sleeping and Jason was preparing to leave. I made him breakfast, we talked for a quiet moment, all was well with the world. My little lady Lily seemed happy when she woke up but her inner ogre came out the minute we entered a public atmosphere. Forgot Joanna's diaper bag and shoes when we headed out today. Despite these few set backs, I had a great time with Tina, Andrew, and Lareesa...Tie Dye Tuesday...running around Buhl for about two hours. After a delicious lunch at Arctic Circle, where Lily displayed her lack of table manners for about half an hour, we ended up at the public library. Inside the library my daughter became a quiet and peaceful child. Everything was going well and after about thirty minutes of quiet time...Joanna decided that she needed to liven up the place. It was time for the Richardson girls to head on our way. I told Lily we needed to go, but she felt differently. Not sure why, but a fit was had as we left the library...I have to say it was a very quiet fit, complete with silent foot stomping and dirty looks. She waited to cry and scream until we got outside, very considerate of her. I feel a small sense of accomplishment that she knows and observes the library rule of silence. Skipped the grocery store, straight home, nap time...ya' right! Both girls laid awake in bed for over half an hour. Grumpy on the phone with Jason, skipped a fun BBQ with my BFF Tina, and decided, that for today, all hope was gone...a serious case of the poor me's! Just when I was ready to give up, throw in the towel, cry (OK, so I did cry.)....Jason shows up with a wind chime for our garden, fried chicken for dinner, and the hinges I've been meaning to buy to hang this swing I bought for JoJo over three weeks ago. Jason hung up Joanna's swing and I spent about an hour gardening while Lily pushed JoJo in her new swing. The girls ended the day laughing and giggling together, happy ending after all. Leave it to hope to show up looking like my husband, smelling like fried chicken and sounding like wind chimes.
