I really do love him, but some days...

So much for not posting on a daily basis, and so much for getting Tanner to fall asleep on his own for his afternoon nap. (I just took him for a drive- he'll be asleep for two hours, quick, work hard!) I'm wiped out!!! It's barely 1:15pm and I'm exhausted! This morning started wtih a bang, at 12:30 (midnight) when I thought Tanner had woken up and climbed in the crib where Taylor was screaming...I lept out of bed, and got to their room in literally three steps (normally it takes only five, but still...) to find Tanner sound asleep in his bed - it turns out Taylor has another cold and can't breath out of his nose - he was screaming, panicked that he couldn't breathe and he was getting hungry...So I settled in on the couch to nurse...and remained there until Ryan woke up to shower...and Tanner woke up wanting to 'play'. That was all before six o'clock. Phew!

After breakfast and good-byes to daddy, I settled in on the couch to nurse Taylor about 10:30...it didn't last long when I heard a little 'plop'. My mind replayed Friday night as we were leaving to go to the Temple and Tanner dumped out the sugar, and Sunday after church when he dumped out the sugar again...We had thrown away the sugar after the second dump, so what was that sound? FLOUR!!! ARRRGGGH!

I know he's innocent - doesn't that face just say, "I didn't do it!" - OOOh - if only he weren't so darn cute!

Cleaning up was a treat. I got out the vacuum and -POOF! it spun it all behind the vacuum...I'm an airhead sometimes. Duh...I knew it would do that! So I swept, then used the hose on the vacuum - much more effecient!

I guess I'm done baking. Period. I am not refilling those containers that were full - I just filled them two weeks ago! 10 pound bags each! Gone! I'd throw in the towel, but I might just miss all these fun experiences.

Kudos to all you parents who can keep it together and make it anywhere without your kid's faces covered in lunch and have company without them tripping on toys strewn all over the house! My mom said "Welcome to motherhood!" this morning when I called to tell her the latest on her grandson, Thanks mom! Was I like this? I think NOT! :) Actually, I think I'll take the spilt flour and sugar over what I put my parents through! :)
