Calgon, Take Me Away!

Oh boy! We've had a rough couple of days around the Hepper household! Caroline must sense that her time as an only child is coming to a close because she cannot get enough of her Mommy lately and has been Little Miss Whiny Pants. I feel like we've reverted back to the 3-6 months time period when she had to be carried everywhere. You would think she has forgotten how to walk. And with two little babies growing in my tummy, carrying a 26+ pound toddler around while I'm trying to do laundry, cook, clean, etc. is less than desirable. Put her down, you say? Sure and listen to her shriek and wail at the top of her lungs while clinging to my legs. Because that's so much better.

Add that to finding out that Frances is epileptic (as if she could get any crazier or more high-maintenance) and an anxiety producing broken CFL light bulb in my bedroom - most annoying clean up ever since there is mercury in the bulbs and your house basically turns into an instant Hazmat scene after one breaks - and I'm going a little over the edge this week. By the way, if you live in the Richmond area, good luck finding any old school light bulbs at Target; I think I bought every one they have in stock yesterday. Good riddance CFL bulbs - you may be good for the environment, but you are very bad for my sanity!!! Not to mention that Paul probably has mercury poisoning since he had to do the actual cleaning.

Thank goodness it's 7:30 pm, Paul is home, it's bedtime for Caroline, and solitary confinement time for Mommy! Sorry for the rant...tomorrow is a new day :)

After looking at these pictures, you'd think Caroline was this happy ALL day. Not so! She only put on this happy face for Daddy!
