Today has just been one of those days....and I know most of you know what I mean by that. I am well aware I did not have a good frame of mind starting off the day which has huge implications, but subsequent events definitely did not help. Here are just three points that are worth mention:

As a good morning to me from Ryder, a bowl of cereal was dropped on the kitchen floor, and of course because I haven't invested in child friendly dishware I had glass all over the floor (This was all before 7:30). Sweet Vernon is cutting his other top tooth...need I say more. Ryder had a lovely mess of soft serve poo in his undies at the park, which reminds me I need to pack scissors. And although I know I'm supposed to stay calm and tell him "accidents happen" I just cant bring myself to do this. Instead my potty mouth came out (shame on me and shout out to Becca for much needed "don't jump off the cliff" backup).

Well this poo catastrophe set me off for the remainder of the afternoon and for some reason I couldn't shake it all off. I would have given anything in that moment to pause parenthood. There was not one ounce of me that wanted to cook dinner, give a bath and put to bed, but unfortunately I made the decision to have these needy little...loves :) So putting myself through the steps to complete this day I did, and now I sit in bed, eating one of my child's cookie treats counting down the time I have till I am up with Vernon.

So here's to all y'all in the struggle...this s#@! is real.
