This Is The Day

This is the day. This is the day that the Lord has made, that the Lord has made. I will rejoice. Yes, I will rejoice and be glad in it. I'll be glad in it for this is the day that the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it. Oh, this is the day. This is the day that the Lord had made.

It all started with an incredibly early bedtime for Auds followed promptly by a horrendous night terror. When Auds has these, she somehow gets this super human strength and my 6ft husband can barely contain her. This night terror kept her awake until about 1 and subsequently kept her brother awake as well. This caused us to miss prayer meeting and music practice.

We ended up going to bed around 3 and my husband woke up at 5, after his alarm went off at 430. Auds teeteed in the bed shortly thereafter. I put a towel on it and told her to lay back down. I scooted out at 6 praying that they'd sleep in so I could get some processing done. I worked on washing the diapers and cloth before I realized...

No such luck, both kids sauntered out shortly thereafter. We had breakfast and got ready for Tony's play class. Owing to his lack of sleep, he wanted nothing to do with the class. On top of that, an older sibling of a classmate slammed his face into the floor during bubble time. Yup. That was a blast.

We made a quick stop at the market to make some groceries and Auds threw a fit about the buggies. They were spaceships and not race cars like at the other store. I told her if she didn't want to get in, I'd leave her in the parking lot and pick her up on my way out. Don't call CPS, it was an empty threat. But she did get in.

Came home and made lunch and got a call that the A/C man was coming. We need a new unit. He washed ours and put in some freon to tide us over u til he could find a unit like ours. Woo hoo.

As I'm bribing the kids with a movie and trying to get a teeny tiny bit of work done, the dog somehow gets his collar stuck in his kennel in his sleep. When he tries to roll over and can't, he freaks out flipping the kennel, his gate, and literally scared the poop (and pee) out of himself. So I have to free and comfort a freaked out pit bull, clean up his mess (and we just ran out of paper towels. We're mostly cloth so we didn't have any more on hand), flip the kennel and gate back to their normal positions all while keeping two very curious toddlers out.

I'm convinced that God has a sense of humor when we get days like today. You know, the kind of days to keep you humble. And everything hits the fan at once so all you can do is laugh. And then your babies pretend to laugh with you. :) such a sweet sound that is.
