We've been having that kind of week. Up early and crabby pants all day long.
I should have known better and not left the house but Rory and I had to make a quick trip to the grocery store.
I'll lay out the trip for you in 3 easy to understand parts:
- Grocery store equals the dreaded grocery cart. Kicking, screaming, and a bag of Goldfish thrown right in my face. After we finally calmed down I was able to get the 3 items I needed.
- Then the checkout line. Oye. Rory LOVES to play with the debit/credit machine. A few weeks ago she got me $100 cash back. What a sweetheart! More kicking and and screaming. The person working the self checkout counter didn't even make eye contact with me....I'm not sure if she was annoyed or just trying to help me save face.
- Finally we made it to the car but that leads to the dreaded carseat. After about ten minutes of screaming and back arching I finally got her in the carseat.
After that I just got into the car and cried. Actually, I sobbed. I'm not exactly sure why...but I did.
Then I came home and read this. I felt better. He knew I needed it.
disclaimer: please know that I know how blessed I am to have a child. I hate complaining about the tough days when I know so many of you would do anything for a baby. On the same note I want to remember everything about this time in her life not just the rainbows and unicorns.

my hubby was out of town two weeks ago and one day I just broke down and cried and cried and cried. I am so very thankful to have Piper, but it can be so very exhausting, too! I am so sorry today was so rough, I hope tomorrow is a better day! And I'm sure Rory's spirited nature will serve her well as an adult :).
Loved that link - thank you for sharing!!! And hopefully we'll wear her ragged with our playdate at church tomorrow - maybe you'll get a great nap out of her tomorrow & can relax for a few hours!!
