Just today alone:

1. Rory pooped into one of the dance costumes we have and on the floor while trying to make it to the potty. I'm glad she's getting the idea of the big girl potty but I could have done without that mess.
2. When Rory uses the big girl potty she gets to pick a piece of candy from our little bowl and Max also gets to in order to celebrate with her. He chose gum and chewed it happily for an hour. I told him to go spit it out as he was playing with it. A half hour later he is crying because he has gum all over his leg. After two peanut butter scrubs (thanks Lisa!) we still haven't removed it all.
3. I have sorted and organized all our Mason jars for canning and have them in the kitchen as I used them yesterday and will be continuing to use them for the rest of the season. Max has a new bad habit that I call musical chairs, basically he gets up throughout his meal and changes seats. He isn't allowed to do this and is constantly testing us to see if we'll let him. Today he tried it and I yelled at him to get back into his chair. (I wish I could say I was calm but have you seen how my day is going?) He fell and landed on one of the boxes of Mason jars. Thankfully he didn't get hurt but I wish I could say that about some of the jars.
4. And the cherry on top starts with my favorite time of day on a day like this, nap time, but instead of putting Rory to bed I stopped in my tracks in front of a blue and bleached spot in the middle of her carpet. I couldn't figure out what it was and cleaning it removed the blue but the carpet was bleached. I tucked her in and went to do the same for Max and was once again stopped in my tracks, but this time there are numerous spots and lines in his carpet. Max tells me all about how he got the toilet cleaner we brought home from the store yesterday and used it to clean his carpet and his truck. Sure enough, the truck is coated with it and confirms his story. So now the carpet in both their rooms has bleach spots and my blood pressure has gone way, way up.

Mama needs a break, but instead I'll be escorting Max and Dusty to Max's preschool open house today. I was really looking forward to this too, but now all I want to do is run and hide. Stupid bad day!
