Another day of playing mom

[acacias_mom]

Another day goes by with yet it's own challenges and I just keep thinking to myself that god must seriously be trying to teach me a crap load of lessons in life.  Today acacia somehow managed to get a flourescent light bulb out of it's socket while I wasn't looking and then decided to use it as some sort of light saber contraption and bang it against the play pen.  Of course it was when she hit it on the play pen that I first realized what she had done.  A gigantic busting noise echoed throughout my bedroom and I whipped around only to discover a crying acacia holding a half shattered flourescent light bulb.  What a mess.  Everyone was okay, but I was really evaluating just how I should handle this situation.  And it didn't stop... little miss hyperactive continued all day on this destructive path of ruining things and making messes for mommy to clean up... getting in everyone's kool-aid around her and just plain annoying shelby and I.  Lunch was a challenge because I made acacia a plate which she picked at with her fork and didn't even try anything .. and then she proceeded to push her plate back at me and say... "i don't want any."  All of this running and these things that keep going on day after day are really wearing and I just keep telling myself that maybe one day this week I will get to take a mommy nap, but today, again, aparently isn't that day.
