I probably spent more water today, than I spend in a month...between 4 showers (three potty training accidents), one bath, the dishwasher, 3 loads of laundry...and (the bulk of it) finishing the patches on the grass and watering it tonight....I'm using up the water of the world... But it looks so wonderful I barely feel guilty about it...I will be laying down on that sucker all summer long...I love it!!!
Have you ever had perfect air dried hair??? When you are not going out, you are in your jammies and not in a hurry or nothing??? I had that today...It was probably because I had to use my daughter's 2 in one shampoo, because I forgot to bring a new conditioner from the other bathroom...I can't stop looking at myself (jk) but it makes me a little mad...Not that I worry too much about my hair (I probably do my hair once a week), but it's interesting that this always happens either when you are not going out of your house or when you are about to go to bed...
Olivia didn't get a nap, which meant she was exhausted and falling asleep as I got her jammies on...Her jammies must have caffeine in them because as soon as I finished getting them on she went from zombie to wide open owl eyes...and talking up a storm...What posessed my sweet little child who was so beautifully sleepy??? I finally took both of them to sleep and did the book-prayer-song-kisses routine, and Olivia only got out of bed 3 times (which is amazing)...and fell asleep right away....Maybe there will be a day when I don't have to close my doors and turn off he lights for half an hour every night so that my baby understands that Businesses are closed until tomorrow...
Ok, time to go to bed w perfect hair :P

Trading Day
Hello...
I just found out that the world was going to end today...I wonder who came up w such crap and if people believed it...Sheesh...I guess I'm still here...I remember talking about the basement water a few days ago...Any resemblance to reality is a mere coincidence...
To more interesting topics, I sold a bike trailer and bought a crib\toddler bed today...and I put it together by myself...I'm just that awesome...I have skills I don't even know about...I did the whole mind over matter and "you're less than me" to the bed...and it totally worked...I did stare at the pieces and screws for the first full five minutes before realizing what to do...and it was all downhill from there...If I hear a big boom and a loud cry tonight I'll let you know...but I think I did a good job!
It's wonderful to put things together when you have children...They wanted to grab the screws (which would have meant "bye bye screws"), help w the screw driver [I let them screw the already screwed screws (say it out loud...it's tricky but it makes sense)], get in an out of the piece of furniture while I'm trying to hold it together by my knees (don't picture it, it wasn't fun), and then ask me to "look" from the other room ("I'm kindda busy")...
To make sure Olivia wouldn't get out of bed the first moment I put her in, we all ate dinner together, showered together, lotion and jammies and I let them know we were going to bed together after the movie was over (Olivia usually goes first). We brushed our teeth, each of them picked a book, I tucked them in, we prayed, we sang and nite nite....so far, so good...
Kyrsten is quite happy with her new bed (she said "Thank you" a million times)...and Olivia is in Kyrsten's bed now....my 2 babies in beds...no more cribs in the house...(tear)...It's nice to see how independent and adult like they are becoming. It makes things easier too. I just can't believe it sometimes...They'll always be my babies but growing at a speedy pace...
I also had a crazy cleaning day today. The girls spent the night at Michael's, who didn't even know what day it was (literally) when I picked up the girls...God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference...
Back to my cleaning day...I made a list (I love lists)...and broke down the chores...if there was a big chore I broke it down in 2 (instead of "doing laundry", "folding laundry" and "putting away laundry")...Lists make you quantify what you've done and feel accomplished as you are crossing it off...It also helped me to put it in the best order to do it (yes, I organized organizing)... and the house was deep cleaned which I enjoyed for about one hour before I went to pick up the girls...But it still looks pretty good...and I think it will allow me to focus on some bigger projects this week (aka the garage)...
I hope you enjoy the non ended world tomorrow!!!
