Week in the Life, Thursday!

Well, today started way before the sun. Madilyn was up just after 5am. Thankfully she didn't come to us until 7, but I could still hear her playing in her room. I knew it was going to be a long day for her. Grace got up right after Madi came to get us, we went and got her out of her crib.

After a quick breakfast, Madi asked to watch a little show before school. I let her watch about 20 minutes of little einsteins while I got ready for the day. Then we loaded up in the car and headed off to school.

Grace was ready for a nap when we got home (around 915). While she napped, I got dinner into the crockpot (pork chops with a spicy asian sauce) and read a little more of "Mockingjay" (part three of three in The Hunger Games series).

After nap, we sean a few errands and I forgot my camera. Then we picked up Madi. I thought we would have a fun evening at home making some sugar cookies after dinner, but she sure had other plans. She threw the biggest tantrum when I showed up at school because she was not ready to leave. She wanted to stay and play with the zebras. I had to carry her out and up the stairs and to the car screaming and thrashing all with Grace in my other arm. I'm sure I was a very pitiful sight! It gets worse though, because the tantrum continued in the car. Even after I took away all toys, etc, she took off her shoes as we were driving and tried to chuck them at me. She never did stop screaming. In fact, she was SO angry at me for not giving her toys after being naughty, SHE PEED IN THE CAR! ON PURPOSE!!!!! So , if you wondered why I had no post up last night, you now know why. I was busy sending a very naughty three year old straight to bed and scrubbing the upholstery  in my car.

Once the mess was cleaned up and I could proceed, I finished dinner and fed Matt and Grace. After dinner Grace enjoyed some play time before bed :)

Lets hope Friday is a better day!!!
