How 15 Minutes Can Change Your Day

Up until just a few moments ago, my day had gone fairly well. Isn't it funny how that can all change so quickly!

I decided to make stromboli for dinner, which should only take like 3 minutes to put together. Not at my house!

It just took me a solid 20 minutes, at least, to get this all together!

It started with getting Isaac off the potty (no, he's not trained, or anywhere close, but he will sit there FOREVER!). So I convinced him to get off... and for whatever reason, thought it was a great idea to try putting underwear on him. That was a fight in and of itself! But, after two spankings and a time-out... he was wearing underwear.... I would have just given up the fight, but he does the same thing when I put a diaper on him.

Anyways, after than I started toward the kitchen to start on the stromboli. Elijah was dragging me by the hand and crying about something. Isaac was asking for pancakes and waffles. By the time I got everything out of the fridge, Isaac was hanging from my leg and Elijah was still crying.

Isaac pushed Elijah every time he got near me. And this just made him scream more. I couldn't take it anymore and resorted to the Backyardigans for some peace. I set them up in the living room and went to back to the kitchen.

Less then two minutes later, I hear... "Mommy, I pooped". Well, he hadn't pooped, but he had peed. And since in all my brilliance, he was only wearing underwear... I had to clean it up!

Finally back to the stromboli... it's done, Isaac is back on the potty... he says he's staying forever... and Elijah is miserable. As I type he's literally hanging from my arm!

Maybe something really awesome will happen and change the day again! *fingers crossed*
