Chris called to say he would be late which was no big deal because i thought the kids would be in bed nice and early and then i was looking forward to having a quite house to myself for a little bit. buuuuuuuuut that didn't exactly work out.
bath time for Mayden was interesting. first, if you know May then you know that she is very attached to inadament objects. i mean she gives things like crayons, figurines, magnets (and apparently soap) personalities, voices & souls. she gets very upset when one of her crayons is used by someone else (not because she doesn't like to share, but because they are little people and are not for coloring). anyway my mom gave Mayden a bath fizz duck for Easter yesterday so tonight i let her have it in the bath. she (of course) was talking with it until all of the sudden she realized that it was getting smaller and smaller and soon it would be gone and had a major meltdown. she did manage to salvage a small bit of it and i'm sure she'll keep it around for weeks.
so while trying to explain to her that bath fizz chemically reacts to water and it's okay for it to disappear i wiggle her into jammies and brush her teeth. next it's off to bed where i read her three books, set her up with a few more books, kiss her goodnight and leave... she falls asleep soon there after. well that's what NORMALLY happens. not tonight. nope tonight i read the books and midway thru the first book i hear "im hungry" AGAIN! i hate to send the kid to bed hungry but she just ate something 20 minutes before (and 15 minutes before that and dinner a 1/2 hour before that!) so i try to tell her to wait until morning but she cries "but i'm really hungry" and it seems genuine so i go out and get her some cheese and pretzels to eat in bed while i'm putting Cam (who is thankfully being very patient) to sleep. i'm thinking she'll just fall asleep on her own. i go get Camo all ready for bed, grab and bottle and head to our room. while i'm feeding him and rocking him i hear Mayden screaming my name. Cameron finishes the bottle without falling asleep so i take him into her room to see what she wants now. she wants me to snuggle with her. something that i can't do because i need to put Cameron to bed. so i tell her i will come rub her back after i get Cameron into bed. she puts up a fight but after explaining many times that i will be back i walk out of the room and of course the blood curdling screaming ensues (this is really not at all like her and one reason having two kids kinda sucks [obviously she needs a little more attention tonight, but i can't give it to her because Camo has needs too...frustrating]) okay so while she's freaking out i put Cameron to bed and praise the Lord he peacefully surrenders. i return to the scream room (as promised) to find May has thrown up in her bed. sweet. so i clean her up. i clean the bed up. i throw everything in the laundry. get her back into bed. rub her back. she falls asleep. it is an hour past her bedtime.
so now i'm pissed off because i have to take care of this:
instead of watching Jon & Kate + 8. ugh... actually i should probably watch it because watching that show makes me feel 10 times better about my life. (god bless those parents)
