I dropped off paperwork to open Amelia’s bank account (finally!) and mailed Olivia’s birthday invitations. I stopped into the pharmacy to pick up a prescription, ran to Babies R Us to get a part for my pump and pick up some gift cards, stopped at Sam’s Club to pick up our Christmas Cards and then stopped at Hallmark to grab Olivia’s last birthday present. I dropped everything off at home, fed the dog and got a few things done there. Then I was off and about again…stopped to get gas, ran to Kohl’s to get a couple pairs of jeans and finally stopped into Cub to grab a couple things for the week. Finally my shopping and running around was done, and it was time to pick the girls up. By the time we got home, I was beyond exhausted. I started preheating the oven and got the dinner ingredients out, but just left them for Christian to take over!
It’s times like this I wish I didn’t work, or at least only worked part time. It’s impossible to get anything done during the week by the time we get home, feed the kids and spend a TINY amount of time with them. So, we have to cram everything into the weekends…chores, errands, friends, family, etc. Sometimes I just think about how nice it would be to at least get some of the chores and errands done during the week. Instead, I have to use vacation time to get anything done. Lame.
We spent the rest of the night hanging out, eating dinner, watching some TV and dealing with Olivia’s out of control self. I don’t know what her deal is lately, but she is just off the wall crazy. She’s constantly throwing stuff, doesn’t listen whatsoever, she’s way too aggressive and almost violent sometimes. It’s so frustrating, and we don’t know how to get through to her. We’re going to be setting up the Pack N Play to use for time outs because we have no other ideas, so hopefully that will help. Grrr!
Here's a new picture of little Amelia. Her cheeks are getting nice and full. She had sleepy red baby eyes here. Poor thing.
