Today is our version of Opposite day.

Remember in elementary school when you used to have Opposite day? Wasn't that on Wednesdays? I have no doubt that today is Wednesday.

Yesterday was wonderful. I got the house cleaned, played with the girls, no major messes or fights, we took a walk after dinner...it was all good...except for the undercooked chicken. That was pretty nasty.

Today has been a nightmare. The girls were both awake a lot last night which meant that I was awake a lot last night. I'd guess I had about 5 hours of sleep at best. The day started off with a bang when Lauren pooped. I practically threw a party for the pooper. She's not constipated. Hooray! Yeah, guess what? She's pooped about 15 more times today. That's all well and good except that a) I'm running low on pull ups and wipes and b) she can now undress herself. Once she came to me with a handful of poop and naked buns and later Katherine came in to tell me that Lauren had pulled off her pull up and pooped on the playroom floor. Oh man! Then Lauren spilled a cup of milk all over the kitchen. When I say all over the kitchen I do mean ALL OVER THE KITCHEN". She pulled it off of the counter and the plastic cup bounced around spraying milk everywhere. So, I cleaned that up after the poop. At this point I decided, I need a nap. But neither kid would go for a nap. I gave them some goldfish and turned on Cars in an attempt to catch some z's on the couch. Within minutes, Lauren tossed the entire thing of goldfish on the floor. We cleaned that up. Lauren's getting to be quite the vaccumer.

Katherine has been really good today. She ate well, she's been a good listener, she's being pretty patient with Lauren etc. I thought I'd surprise her and ask her friend to come over for a play date. Sophia came over for about an hour and a half and they played llamas (Sophia was the zookeeper), and princesses. Sophia's dad just called though. Sophia started saying she didn't feel good when he brought her home. She has strep throat. Holy moly. Unbelievable. I wonder if I can get into the Guinness book of world records for number of pediatricians appointments in a month. I think we are at 5 right now. Keep your fingers crossed for us that we don't all catch strep. I hate strep. Hate it.
