There are good days and bad days I know. So far today has been a “bad” day. Lily has been whiny and ornery and I’ve just flat out had a very short fuse. My patience has been on the almost nonexistent end of the patience spectrum. Tack on Clara’s attachment issues and I just feel like I’m at my wit’s end sometimes. I’ve managed to get a little cleaning done this morning when the girls are usually at their best, but today they want me to sit with them and read or hold them. When I do end up sitting with them for a while they fight over who gets in my lap or over the book or toy the other has. I put Clara in the walker for a bit while Lily drew in one of my cookbooks (wit’s end!) but when Lily was ready to get down it was none stop terror from Clara in the walker. I put Clara on the floor but then it’s fuss and cry till Mama picks her up. Lily has gone weeks without a TT accident, but this morning of course we had TT all over the floor and of course Clara had to get in some of it. And it’s no news that Lily is a PICKY eater but lately she doesn’t even want much of the 3 things she will eat. Since she didn’t want to eat lunch today she got bored and her whole bowl of spaghetti ended up on the floor. Grrr.
Both girls are down for a nap right now and I’m enjoying the little time I have to forget this morning (by documenting it here for all time) and hope for a better afternoon. I think we’ll be able to go outside at least. We’ll reach a warm 45 today!
