Bad Day!?!?

The beginning of the day in our house is usually the same
day after day, although I knew right away that this one was going to be different.

I woke up to discover that Bridget had finally learned how to climb
out of her crib. I walked into the kitchen and there she was sat
amidst a pile of Lucky Chars that she had spilled on the floor.

She was having the time of her life eating her cereal off of the
floor and wasn't too happy when mommy came in the room and told her it
was time to clean up her mess. She threw the best
2 yr old fit I've seen thus far and decided she'd rather be
in her daddys company than mine. *L*

Just as I had finished cleaning up the mess in the kitchen, I
walked through the house and make my way to check on Trista.
I found her in her bedroom talking to herself in of
all places....the crib! *L*

I leaned over the side to get her out and she tell's me in her
most serious voice that she is staying in the crib forever.
When I asked her why, she said, "because I wanna be the baby again."

I finally coaxed her out of the crib and tried to explain to her
that she wouldn't like being the baby again because she
wouldn't be able to do all the things a big girl gets to do.
After explaining this, she looked me right in the eye and said,
"That's okay mommy, cause when I grow a little from bein a baby
I'll be able to do all the big girl stuff again", and she took off through the house.

Now....what the heck do ya say to that??? *L* She had me there.

As my daily routine continues, I reach my oldest daughters room,
to wake her up for school. As I was approaching the door
I heard her talking so I assumed that she was awake.
I opened the door to find her talking in her sleep
(nothing unusual for Kaley).
She was evidently talking to her friends in her sleep,
because she was talking about this boy and how "lame" he was. *L*

After listening to this for a few minutes I decided to go
ahead and wake her up.
Shes not a good waker upper, so I try to be as chipper as
possible in the mornings. Mind you I'm not a good
morning person myself! *L*
Kaley is finally awake...for all of 2 seconds, and is already
complaining that the clothes I have picked out for that day are
ugly and....so yesterday! (remember...she's 9 yrs old)
I decide to give her her choice of clothes with my approval of
course and we go back and forth several times before something
suitable is finally decided upon....though I have to say
I really thought what I had picked out looked better! *L*

Making my way back into the kicthen for Kaley's breakfast, I pass
Trista playing in the play room. She had proceeded to get
Kaley's markers down from a spot that we still haven't figured out how she reached.
We've come to the conclusion....she's half monkey. *L*

With the markers safely put away I'm heading for the kitchen again
when I pass by the bathroom. I hear Trevor running water
in the sink and I hear Bridget saying..."I did it, I did it."
Trevor was helping her brush her teeth.

Finally making it to the kitchen, I make Kaley's breakfast as
she walks in and sits down at the table.
After finishing, it's time for the bus, so she gathers her
things and heads off to the bus stop, while I
watch from the door until she's safely on the bus.

Well...Kaley's off to school and I finally have time to sit
and relax before the next thing happens. *L*

And just to think....I'm only an hour and a half into my day! *L*
