I just took the longest, hottest shower of my life. I didn't just clean my skin, i scrubbed and exfoliated. i didn't just wash my hair, i conditioned and smoothed it. more importantly, i washed away all of the negativity from this day.
since the minute we woke up, my daughters and i were in a circular argument or upset-ment of one sort or another. i had been upsetting the baby at almost every single turn. M was driving me crazy like i can never remember. she was sent to the "naughty chair" five times! that is definitely a record in my house! we even tried a re-do, since she and i agreed that she must have gotten up on the wrong side of the bed (or room!) she went back to bed, rolled around a bit, came out and declared that she had gotten up on the right side of the bed now! halleluia! it lasted about fourteen minutes before grumpzilla came back and was sent to the chair. we even had our good friend (a sweet two-year-old boy) over for a few hours this morning, which she had been looking very forward to. instead of playing with him while he was here, she whined at ME! argh! all the while, the baby fought me tooth and nail to do anything that i wanted her to do! it was insanity! thank god our little friend listened to me! he was the only one on my side!
the day dragged on and on and on in this fashion. we had an early dinner, a long bath for the girls, and then off to bed- early! they both fell asleep quickly, and i am extremely grateful for it! i am hitting the proverbial hay myself now. i need to put this day to rest and start again tomorrow, refreshed and refined! exfoliated and conditioned! hopefully in a circle of happiness!
