Warning: This post is full of a whole lot of venting. No cute stories about the girls or funny quotes from Taylor. Strictly letting out my frustrations.
…and it’s only 11:32 a.m. I can only hope that the day gets better. It was a long night with neither Caroline nor Taylor sleeping good, along with Taylor coming into our room too early this morning. She’s been coming into our room alot lately, in the middle of the night or early in the morning. Not fun. I rushed to get myself and the girls ready for the early service this morning, with the plan of keeping both the girls in the cry room with me since they both have a cold and a bad cough. Taylor was AWFUL. She would not sit still, kept asking for a million tissues, wouldn’t obey, kept talking, etc. You get the point. There were a few minutes that she sat and colored, and stayed in the lines really well, I must say. But other than those few minutes she was not good. It was absolutely pointless for me to go to church this morning. There is a tv in the cry room, so I thought I could at least listen to the sermon. FALSE. Pretty much didn’t hear any of it. I was soooo mad and had had enough so we left. Nick was playing on the music team so not only did he have to get there early he had to stay for the second service as well (I know there are plenty of other moms who are solo on Sunday mornings while their husbands serve in different capacities…bless you); but he did come back to sit with us in the cry room so he took Taylor outside after she pitched a huge fit while I got Caroline settled into her carseat. It was loads of fun. Then once we got home it wasn’t much better. Without going into all the details it took a good bit of effort to get them both to go to sleep. Taylor doesn’t normally take a morning nap, but she deparately needed it today. Caroline was overly tired, so it took her forever and alot of crying to get herself to sleep. I even set up the pack and play in my room, so she and Taylor wouldn’t disturb each other. I tried to listen to my ipod to drown out the crying, but it was dead. I also tried to work on my Bible Study lesson, but was so worked up that I couldn’t even focus. So then I unpacked the rest of my Willow House Starter Kit and then decided I should blog. I’m pretty sure they’re both sleeping now, praise the Lord! I hope your Sunday was better than mine!
