I'm Tired!!!


They may have wings and wands in this picture, but I'm not so sure my house was full of fairies or princesses today! Like the heading says...I'm tired!

Look closely at the state of the house behind the girls. I feel like I pick up this kind of chaos 10 times a day, while trying to get a 1 and 2 year old to chip in, with no naps! AGH!

Josh was also gone all day today. Therefore 10% of my conversations went something like this:

Me: "Adele, come here, we need to change your diaper."
Adele: "Blish!" As she runs away from me squealing.

90% of my conversations went like this:

Me: "Ella, what would you like for breakfast?"
Ella: "A bagel with cream on it."

two minutes later after the bagel is toasted, cream cheese applied, and cut into pieces...

Ella: "Mom, I don't want a bagel." (Story of my life)

another example from tonight (I give her options because if I don't she'll most certainly say that I'm doing something wrong).

Me: "Ella would you like the Little Einsteins sippy cup or the Buzz Lightyear one."
Ella: "The Little Einsteins one." Ten seconds later after I've already grabbed it. "No mom! The Buzz Lightyear one!" Ten seconds later after I've made the switch, this time louder and with more excitement, "No, Mom! I REALLY want the Little Einsteins one."

I start shaking my head and mumble something about not being able to work under these conditions. She then picks up on my frustration and likewise mumbles something under her breath, usually something she's heard me say before.

To sum up my day: I love being a mom. Some days its just really special!
