It was not a good day yesterday.  The children were wired, the baby cried, the chore list was long and hard.  On the way back from a (way too long) trip into the city to buy groceries we had to stop twice to get Lillian out of her car seat and comfort her down - once in a parking lot and once on the side of the highway.  She was deeply disappointed in the lack of snuggling happening in the car and I guess this means a third child who detests her car seat.

Today is a busy one as well, but in different ways.  Lillian has a well baby appointment and then we have guests arriving for the next few days. In between there I need to figure out an entirely different handwriting program to use for my son (great, yes, just lovely and fantastic that) and get a haircut.  There are barely enough bobby pins in the house to pin back this mop.  Also there is a day camp running from the library and I thought of putting Samuel in today.

Oh my.  And balsamic vinegar.  Must remember to buy.

I had such an awful day yesterday that I decided I needed to re-vamp a few things in life.  Mainly my bedtime.  I'm going to march myself to bed at 10pm every night and Get Up Earlier.  I did, too.  I got up before dawn with a two year old.  But then I got to shower and read some of Galatians and make tea and sit at the table ready to feed my children and do morning prayers with them.
