We started out with such good intentions this morning. Courtney woke up singing "O Happy Day", she was in a good mood. The day just felt good. Ben asked us to visit him at work. So I fed the girls early and planned to head out. But everything took so long. I kept forgetting things, Courtney had to potty, she didn't like what I picked for her to wear, then we got to the car and I had no gas. So we stopped for gas. We get to his work, I unload the girls, and realize we went to his wrong work. So I put the girls back in the car and drive to the outpatient facility, Caylee screamed the whole way. I get there and unload the car again and Caylee had a super bad poop that exploaded everywhere. So I had to clean that up. By the time we got to the office it had been 3 1/2 hours since I had woken up to get ready! So we walk into Ben's work just as he got super busy. We went out to their little cafe to get a snack to see if the patient load would die down and Caylee was screaming the whole time. One of those instances where everyone is looking at you because they feel bad for you. Just then Courtney peed her pants in the stroller. And Ben said there was no way we would be able to visit him that day, he had gotten too busy. Ooh! I had about had it. I grabbed both girls and we headed for the car. Courtney finished peeing on her potty, and Ben came out to get his lunch, and Caylee was still screaming. I was in tears by this time. I just took the girls home, I wasn't in the mood to change our plans at that point. I really need to figure out how to move us along quicker!
Since the day was already crappy, I figured why not make it worse and for the first time I put the girls asleep in the same room. It worked for about 45 min, until Courtney had a poop and couldn't sleep. So I went in to change her and just moved Caylee back to her bed. I'll keep trying. But Courtney was sad that I took Caylee out. She is really getting attached to her. Fortunately, both girls fell asleep and I was able to get some stuff done.
We ended the day with our first "Financial Peace" biblestudy. It's really nice that they have childcare so we are able to bring the girls. I'm excited about the study. It's going to be tough. It was also really hard to get Courtney to sleep after that. She was beyond tired and beyond a reasoning level.
sounds like a rough day! I get frazzled when just Mark screams in his car seat everytime we go anywhere longer than 20 minutes! And I hate how I'm never on time for things when I used to be punctual polly.
