Well, it's just another day in motherhood for me. I took the girls to the grocery store today. My oldest is almost three and my youngest just turned 10 months old. They're adorable. And yet...there's days I'd just love to throw them outside and pray for a dingo. KIDDING!!

Today my oldest is completely out of body. I spent the whole outing saying "Don't". It's amazing how many sentences start with the word 'don't'. My personal favorite from today's outing was "Don't lick the shopping cart." Tell me, how is it that we end up saying things like this? In all my life I never thought I would have to tell someone not to lick a shopping cart. Now both of my girls do it! What has my life come to? Sheez!

You know it's gonna be a rough day when you've been up every 1.5 to 2 hours with the little one for a minimum of 30 minutes. This kid is seriously out to get us. Thank God my husband is more patient than I am. He walks her around for half an hour...which is a good thing since it's kind of his fault that she's up all the time. He's not into letting the kids "cry it out". Not that I'm some sort of sadist or anything...but there's no way the kid needs milk as often as that...she's 10 months old for crying out loud.

Anyway, it's a really good thing that our kids are as cute as they are...that's what keeps them alive.

Well, I think I'll stop here. I feel a little better for writing about this stress.

Wish me luck...I've decided to kick my husband out of bed tonight and try a new technique for getting the little one to sleep through the night...since, as I so eloquently put it at 5:47am "If I don't get some sleep soon I'm going to kill someone!" Maybe with him out of the way I can actually get some of her bad habits broke. Then again I might just be a sleep deprived puddle in the morning when he comes to check on us.
