Today Is A Good Day

My day started at 4:30 in the morning when Jo woke up and for over an hour fought going back to sleep.  As I listened to her cry I could also hear the neighbors dog barking over and over and over again.  I wasn't sure which was more annoying but I briefly considered taking Jo over for a little "Which is more annoying" competition.  Eventually, once it hit 6:00 Marcus decided to go to work.

I think I fell back asleep but that was short lived as Alex woke up at 6:30 in her usual cheerful mood *sarcasm* and wondering why, for the millionth time in a row, her Dadda was not there.  I'm not sure why this surprises her every morning but it does.  In a move straight out of the Lazy Parenting handbook I broke out the Tablet and let her watch "Dora..." on continuous loop until I felt mildly human.  I then checked on Jo who had apparently worn herself out to the brink of exhaustion and was still snoozing peacefully.  Must be nice.

After checking on Jo I put the kibosh on "Dora..." only to discover that my lazy parenting skills had come back to bite me in the ass and Alex's diaper had leaked.  Now I had to change our sheets and mattress pad and get Alex cleaned up which totally ruined the game I play every day which is called "How long can I keep the girls in PJs before it gets ridiculous?"  After all of this Jo was awake and apparently she also conspired against me as her diaper had leaked as well.  So, I got Jo out of her crib, changed her, stripped her bed, and fed her which she promptly spit back up all over my outfit.  Eh, who am I kidding?  My "outfit" was actually my PJs and so Jo ruined my other game which is called "How long can I stay in PJs before it gets ridiculous?"  (Hint: It's only ridiculous if someone other than your children sees you in the PJs). 

As I was taking care of Jo, Alex humped her way across the floor and back again.  That's a new thing that we're not really sure how to address so for now I'm just going to ignore it.  Now, it's 11:00 and Jo is playing peacefully with the tag of a toy and Alex has passed out on the floor from too much humping.  I just smelled something suspicious and Jo is grinning at me and I'm pretty sure I'm not going to like what I find when I pick her up.  Yet somehow, despite all of this, I feel rather at peace today.  Today is a good day.
