Today's Words Of Glass

You know the one. We've all seen her. And if we are truthful, at some point, we've all been her (probably numerous times). You know what I'm talking about. The overly tired sleep deprived Mom with a million things on her to-do list pushing her very active, determined not to sit still or cooperate with today's activities, very inquisitive toddler. You can usually hear them before you see them.  And today, that Mom was me. Lil Man woke up at 4:30am today. And thankfully I did have 'pre-school' time today which was a nice break. I met a friend for a 4 mile run. Then I went to the local coffee house and worked for an hour and half. But because I made a bet with my husband ( What Did I Just Do? ), my Milky Way Latte was replaced with a plain green tea. And somehow that just wasn't as relaxing as my Milky Way Latte had been ;)  I picked up Lil Man from pre-school and went to the grocery store. I could tell that he had fun at school. But...

Today has been a trying day. I started the day off with a 7 mile run at 5:30am with a friend. That part was great, except that he is moving and this run would be our last early morning run. But then Lil Man had speech at 9:30am, and I totally forgot that Lil Man's service coordinator was coming. My house wasn't in the best shape (and neither was I). I had on some ratty clothes. And to top it off, Lil Man didn't cooperate. This was one of the worst sessions we've had in awhile. After his session, I walked them out to their car. As I turned around to come back in, I saw a laughing Lil Man at the front door. Yep, he'd locked me out - sigh. So there I stood outside, barefoot, and locked out of my house in front of his speech teacher and service coordinator. Double sigh. Currently, he's eating pretzels while I type this and we watch Sprout. I'm hoping for a decent nap from him this afternoon. I have freelance work to do, but I also need some down time mys...

I will warn you as I am typing this at 2:30pm there is an open container on my desk.... chocolate cake icing that is. Let's begin with yesterday, during naptime (or what was supposed to be naptime), Lil Man pulled his shorts off, his diaper down and peed all in his bed. I will pause a moment for you to catch your breath after laughing. Thankfully Mickey took the brunt of it, and the rest of the bed was dry. After several times being told "Do NOT get out of this bed" he finally napped. Today, well today, as I was trying to take care of my morning business, Lil Man grabbed the bathroom cabinet door and slammed it into his head catching his brown bone. Sigh. Picture the scene as he is trying to climb up on me as I'm sitting on the toilet. Husband in the shower. Mom on the toilet with a screaming toddler climbing into her lap. Dog sort of running in circles whining at all of the commotion. One ice pack later, the swelling in his eye starts to subside. Hubby leaves f...

I walked into the living room and found him undressing saying 'tinky' which is his way of saying 'Stinky' which is what we call poo. He was just about to get himself out of it.. whew.. glad I got there when I did. Thankfully, of the many things that I've dealt with (so far) poo everywhere hasn't been one of them.
