Days in the life ...

Often times I feel like my day consists of nothing but, "solve crisis, solve crisis, solve crisis, solve crisis ..." (the preschooler lost a toy, needs to go potty, or is hungry, and the baby needs snuggles or milk or to be changed) and it's amazing I manage to clean or run errands, considering I have about 10 minutes (when lucky) before I get called into another room for one thing or another.  It's like having ADD!

"MOMMY, baby Mace is crying and it hurts my ears!"
"Can you give Mace his binky?"
*long pause* "Um ... nooooo ... by the way, is my lunch ready yet?  And can you make me chocolate milk?  And I need to go potty.  And Mace is still crying."

I wish I were an octopus or ElastiGirl. ;)


According to my Facebook:

Me: Ah, those blissful 2 minutes between the moment you finish cleaning/organizing something and when your 3-year-old (or husband) turns everything upside-down again ...
Amanda: You get two whole minutes? :) (2 likes)


It's actually easier to run errands, because then both of the kids are in the same place and Carmen can be distracted by all of the goings-on.  I just have to, you know, find time to get dressed first. ;)
