that is about how i have felt since somewhere around 330 today, shortly after i got the bright idea to take a nap. how stupid i can be sometimes. it wasn't like i was overly exhausted...just moderately exhausted. i haven't opened in about a week, and i did today so i thought maybe a nap would be a good idea. well that idea exploded and turned into my own version of "shannon's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day!" or how ever that book title goes.
i'll spare you all the gruesome details of my misery and jump to the part of the day that actually made me laugh through my frustration. i gave all the boys their bath and while taking them out one at a time, placing them each in the twins bedroom to get diapered and dressed...Cenzo was the first one out tonight. by the time i had Teo out of the tub, Cenzo had gotten himself unwrapped from his towel, off the toddler bed and walked over to where Tarzan was sleeping in the corner of the room.
"whats that noise?" i thought to myself..."the fan? no...oh my goodness, Cenzo NO!!!" to late, he was already peeing on the poor dog!
they say that payback is a (fill in the blank), so i guess that was tarzan's payback for all of his horrible days as a puppy!
and somehow at the end of the day, when they are all sound asleep - dogs included - i find a small space in my heart that still managed to hold on to some love for them. thankfully my heart seems to forget about days like today easier than my mind does because i have full confidence that i will start over tomorrow with my boys consuming 99% of my heart, only to slowly, or quickly, see how they can make it diminish!
thank goodness we apparently dont remember the bad times as the kids grow up, we somehow only seem to remember the good...at least thats what the "im so grateful to be past that stage" moms tell me!
