So today started well, this was my first day home with both kids because krista is off school.

I woke up with my alarm clock at 8:30, all was quiet so I rested a few minutes then made my way to the restroom, started a load of laundry, and emptied the dishwasher. By this time lil krista poked her head out of their room. She told me Faith was awake and shortly after Faith came out too. They requested cereal, which i happily supplied, and as I had my own bowl of honey bunches of oats I got on the computer for a few minutes. This is where the fighting, screaming, and in general crappy behavior started. I wasn't even on the computer long because I had to make our picnic lunch for the park.

I don't even want to get into detail on the many ways the girls drove me crazy this morning but long story short I decided that if my oldest couldn't behave herself I would not take her to walmart to spend her graduation money. that seemed to sedate her for a while, as did the fact that we went to the park (in the hopes that some of that energy would burn off in a good way, ha) my mom came over on her lunch hour and hung out with me for a while which was absolutely awesome.. cause my mom is my best friend. but alas, she had to return to work.

I should not complain too much because the girls were fine at the park and we had fun at walmart, I rewarded us with icees...and what do you know, for the second time in three days, they were out of red icee... my personal craving... sigh... but anyway we came home and had some time before Krista's karate class so I asked the girls to spend some quiet time in their room with their new toys, I set my alarm for one hour and relaxed on the sofa- (don't be hard on me, I am super pregnant and really tired)... well they couldn't play with the quiet toys... they had to have their big foam swords... (yes,..she chose a big foam sword..it was two dollars so I got one for the other one on the understanding that they were outside toys- they are now in my bedroom) but even after I took the swords away they found a reason to come traipsing through the living room again making more noise than a herd of children should be able to make--- because yes- they sounded like a herd-  so needless to say I may have gotten 15 minutes of sleep... sigh

Krista did wonderfully in karate, dinner was alfredo pasta... we all enjoyed that... then Faith's karate didn't go that well, because Faith was extremely unfocused... I think it is hard for her because her class is larger than krista's and a lot more wiggly... I guess that is what you get when you throw together a class of 3-4 year olds...

Anyway finally i got them home and in a shower, and now they are simmering down in their room. and I am watching House and typing a journal...

you know I guess my real issue witht he day was that I didn't get to take a nap... not that they were awful...see journaling does help me ... but now it's my fault for being  lazy and not theirs for being...kids... sigh... it'd be so much easier to blame them...

five weeks to go and counting....
