one of those days

Today was one of those days that almost everything goes wrong and you really wish you were anywhere but the place you stand. Lucy was awake sick most of the night so with a null amount of sleep I stumbled out of bed this morning foggy headed. Some of the rest of the days events consist of ...
. a big glass of milk spilled on the floor
. an exhausting event of convincing ellie it was to cold for a skirt (we settled on knee highs and boots with the skirt.)
. a strange man at my door trying to sell me meat. (and woke lucy up from her morning nap)
. clogged toilet (serinity now... serinity now..)
. ran out of hot water in the middle of shaving my legs (ohhh.. I hate that)
. way to much laundry
. and crushed Christmas bulbs (compliments of the neighbor boy).
Maybe it doesn't seem that bad.... and I guess on most days these things happen and I take them with stride maybe it was the lack of sleep that magnifies everything 10 times but it seemed like the worst! It was the day where lucy's nap and ellie's pre-school could not come soon enough. It came and then.... Lucy woke up and Ellie got home and surprisingly thats what made me happy... the sound of the door closing and Ellie yelling my name and telling me about her day... and little lucy's big smile appearing on her face combined with her kicks of excitement as she sees me coming to get her from her crib.(feeling much better) It made me think how ironic it is that the little bundle that triggered my stumbling wreck of a day is one of the 3 things that made my day (my kids).

this face.... the beginning and end to my bad day.
(and she was sick so sad...it wasn't her fault )
