Oh today was a tough day. Well, rather it was a tough afternoon. I don't have any pictures to share...thankfully...because they wouldn't be pretty. This is a short take on an email I sent to a friend the evening all of this happened. Wow is all I can say!
"...this is what happened…Henry drew, with marker, all over the dining room floor (thank goodness they were washable BUT HE DOESN’T KNOW THAT!), he drew all over himself…hands, knees everything. This is, mind you, while I am making dinner in the kitchen. Mom could see him but couldn't see WHAT he was doing. Then he walked all over the marker on the floor so it was then on his foot as he walks through the kitchen leaving marks. NEXT, while I am making dinner, he goes into my purse and takes out my little ‘toiletry’ bag…he puts ALL of the gum in his mouth and spits it out…next I notice a snake trail on the floor of MY L’OCCITAINE HAND CREAM THAT I LOVE DEARLY THAT COSTS A FORTUNE. Next! I see him standing next to our beige sofa with my FRESH LIP GLOSS unscrewed, in hand ready to smear it on the sofa. UGH! At 8:15 (post dinner which was yes, late) I give Henry half of a cupcake that Sophia got for Henry (at a play date earlier in the day)…he crumbles part of it in his hand and then drops the rest on the floor. THEN when my kids are still telling me at 8:30 that they are STILL hungry I say NO MORE! …except you can have some jello because it is just sitting there and takes no effort in preparation on my end. And, for some reason I just can’t say no to "I'm still hungry mom". That is an entirely different issue. I think, well Henry is sitting here in his underwear (because he smeared cupcake everywhere and all over his pj’s)…what can go wrong with jello? Henry takes it in his hands and starts to squeeze…so now there are little jello droppings all over the floor, the table and his booster…mixed in with cupcake crumbs and frosting. I did cry tonight BUT I having had a glass of wine and some alone time and now I am at peace. What a day! This mind you, does not include ANY Of the crying that occurred during this time. Calgon take me away! Far away!
