The best kind of day

Start out with a sick baby who kept mom up most of the night. I decide to go ahead and head to the gym. Michael is working evenings this week so I knew I wouldn't have to worry about the girls in child care. Plus Piper couldn't go anyway being sick. I make it to step class in time, but it wasn't pretty.

Note to self, eat before going to work out.
Next note to self, Step class with Kate is NOT what you should start out with!

I left the class at break and realized I forgot my flipflops at home so a shower at the gym was out of the question.

Get home, Allisyn is still asleep. I took my shower and got ready for my day. Michael got ready and left for work. Piper tries so hard to be her cheerful self, and does well for spurts of time, then crashes and needs mommy. During the times of Piper needing mommy the most, are the times that Allisyn starts getting in to trouble. What else is new, right?

Well, today there was the screaming for me like she was in pain. I go running in the room with a very startled Piper who was almost asleep. She just wanted her milk. She got in trouble for yelling like that for no reason.

Then there was going potty in the potty. YAY! No so yay when she doesn't put a pull up back on and comes in with something on her hand....she was playing with her bottom. I didn't know that she had sat back on the potty after I cleaned her up. Again I disrupt an almost asleep Piper to get her cleaned up again.

THEN she comes in AGAIN, with mysterious stinking brown stuff on her hand. Apparently, she dropped a shoe string for beading in the litter box and went and got in on her own. Again, interrupt an almost asleep Piper to go wash her hands and clean her up.

Is the day over yet??

Another good note to self is not to start out with Allison's step class...she is beyond brutal!

I feel for you. I would just about rather clean up anything other than poopy messes. They are the worst.
