The Days of Our Lives

My MIL kept a journal of her days while Neal and I went to the Bahamas in February. It's funny to read...Now that so much time has gone by:)

Day 1
5:30 Elise up
Puppy got in make-up bag and left a trail for chewed soap scrubber, nail file, razor, ear plug ect
Elise had diarrhea 5 times (I know this is TMI, but I didn't write it)
Corinne has a cold and threw up on a new area rug
Took girls to the mailbox & puppy ran away
Puppy tried to eat poop during a diaper change

Day 2
12 inch of snow -No school for Elise today
Played in downstairs
Kids Helped with chores and cleaned refrigerator
Puppy ate crayons

Day 3
AM took girls to the Mall. Went to Disney Store and Dunkin Donuts, Mall rides.
Puppy pooped twice in the house, Grampy stepped in it with his socks.
Puppy urinated on the carpeted stairs
Called poison control center for Elise- glow stick leaked on hands and she touched her eye which became irritated (no I didn't know about this).

Day 4
Elise up 5:45 Corinne 7:30 (Elise is 5 and Corinne 2)
Elise had school today 11:45-2:30
Corinne napped
Grampy went to Lowes
I washed hair for first time in 4 days and made soup
Puppy ate crayons
Puppy ran away when Elise came home from school
Grampy organized cabinet today and girls helped with household repairs
Puppy chewed insulation at the front door. Now we use a pillow against the door to keep the draft out.
Puppy is possessed (Not true-Boo is a PUPPY)

Summary
Motherhood is hard work
Neal and Janice's house is too big
You need a Nanny or a Mother's Helper

My Summary
This made me laugh written down, but it's pretty accurate on how our day goes. Two young girls and a puppy can be a little chaotic. We get through it with a lot of laughs, caffeine:)

My MIL gave this to my DH and I to read as she let us go out to dinner. We are very fortunate to have family around. It helps to break up that ORDINARY DAY:)
