Irritable and Gross Day - We all have them right?

I am so irritable today. The girls are so irritable today. I don't know what is wrong with us. Here are 10 reasons today has NOT been my favorite.

1. When I woke up this morning William and I decided to run to Walmart. We both needed a couple of things. First I couldn't find my shoes, then I couldn't find something else I was looking for. I was irritated and I knew right then at 8am that it was going to be one of those kinda days.

2. We got to Walmart and I needed some ribbon cut from the fabric department and the lady back there was SO rude. I asked her if she knew if they had any sequins and she said no, not sewn together but they had some that were loose. But then she didn't tell me where to find them and just walked off and left me standing there.

3. When we got home I realized I had forgotten to get a few things at Walmart but was too tired to go back.

4. This afternoon I was talking to William on his cell phone at work. He was on his lunch break in the breakroom. We were in the middle of discussing something in depth when they called him to the front office so he had to let me go for a minute. He called me back and it was almost time for him to go back to work. We were saying goodbye when I hear his boss in the background acting like a jerk and telling him "breaks over" and to "hang up".

William is a manager and is on the phone all day with different companies. Also he has been probably one of the best good punctual hard working employee at this company for years. His break was interrupted while he was on the phone with me the first time and now he is being told to "hang up" on his wife. What a jerk. I am so sick of his boss. He is such a ..... (fill in the blank yourself). This is just one of a million reasons I don't like the guy. He is just full of himself and likes power and gets in these moods where he tries to treat my husband like a child. I could have gone through the phone at that moment. I wanted to tell William to just quit and come home but of course I couldn't because ... we had already hung up.

5. I was making lunch for me and went to put my paper plate in the microwave when I bumped the sink and my coke that was on the counter fell over and poured out its entire contents all over the floor. So I had to clean that up of course :( and by that time my food was cold again.

6. I have been working hard on the girls Halloween costumes for the past two days. Hence the reason I needed sequins (which I never did find) and was almost through when I realized I had messed up and sewn the front side to the back side of the skirt I am making and had to take every machine stitch out by hand and start all over. That sucked. I finally got it all figured out and was finished with it for the day. I put it on a hanger and layed it on the table. Without thinking I stopped and grabbed a coke from the fridge and popped the top and coke of course spashed out onto my newly finished project. That really made me feel bad. I got it clean thankfully so hopefully it will be okay.

7. On top of all the bad luck today, I think I have literally changed eight poopy diapers in the last nine hours since William left for work and I think if I smell or see any poopy diapers again I am going to go crazy. I can't wait till he gets home so he can be on full time diaper duty for the rest of the night. I think I have done more than my share today!

8. We are having a nat problem in the house this week. Usually we only have nats when we have overly ripe bananas on the table. For some reason they pop up when the bananas start to turn brown. But we haven't had any bananas in the house for weeks. We change our garbage out at least once a day and the house is clean. We have no dirty dishes in the sink and haven't for a couple of days. When I sit at the computer desk they fly around my head and to the lit up computer screen. I only see one at a time. If I kill that one another one magically appears. There is nothing around a computer desk I can think of that would attract them. I went to my room this afternoon while the girls were napping and tried to read a book I have just started and guess what ... nats. All around the book and my face. I am swatting in the air like an insane person. I can't stand it. We live next to an orchard so maybe that has something to do with it. A lot of the fruit that hasn't been picked is probably rotting outside now. Whatever the reason, it is driving me crazy!

9. The babies are whining and crying all the time today. If they aren't whining and crying and snatching toys from one another, they are getting into everything and I mean EVERYTHING they are not supposed to.

10. For example, our house is so tiny, so our computer desk in in the corner of the room. It is a hutch with doors on the front that can be closed to keep the girls out of it. At the bottom of it is our printer with paper on it, plus some miscellaneous cords that go to the digital camera and what not. When I sit at the desk. I have to put pillows up to keep the girls from crawling under my feet and pulling all of the paper off the printer and eating it. It is seriously annoying. Today Morgan has taken it on as her personal mission to do everything in her power to get to the desk. She has crawled around the first pillow, behind my computer chair, and comes around in this tiny crawl space between the wall and the desk. I have to keep picking her up from one side of my chair and putting her over on the other side. I keep fussing at her and telling her "no" but as soon as I sit her down on the side where I want her she starts making her way around again. So it is a constant chaotic movement and I can't type because I keep having to move her. I am trying to ignore her now but of course because I am, they are now BOTH in the tiny crawlspace area fighting with each other.

Tonight I just want to cry. I am tired and I am so frustrated. Some days it is so hard having two fiesty exploring cranky clingy babies wanting to hang all over me. Sometimes the workload is just more than one person can handle alone. Don't get me wrong I love them more than life itself and I would rather have 100 billion irritable crazy crappy days than be without them for one second. But it is not always cookies and sunshine being a mom. Some days are much harder than others. I know every mom out there probably feels like this at some point or another so I know I'm not alone. For today, I just can't wait for William to get home so I can crawl under the covers and start tomorrow a different way!

Thank goodness it is almost bedtime now :)

I'm so sorry today stunk. It sounds like one of those days when NOTHING goes right. Ever read the book Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No-Good, Very Bad Day? I used to keep a copy around just for days like that.

Ick. Crummy Day. I hope tomorrow is better.

As for the gnats, check the diaper pail. They LOOOOVE dirty diapers and it sounds like your girls are providing plenty! Also, run your kitchen sink disposal and then lysol it. It they're in there, they'll try to make a run for it.

Unfortunately, we live in gnat central, otherwise known as the Dirty South!!

I couldn't begin to imagine having two babies to contend with especially when your having a rough day yourself. I say Kudos to you for handling it just fine..

A new day comes and life moves on,I know its hard I am a aingle mom so its tough at times but hold on because the sun always comes up the next day....

Oh I can so relate! Days like that suck! My twins are just at the stage where they are almost walking unassisted so I'm guessing the fun is about to begin!

I noticed your twins were born July 2005... mine were born July 17th 2005! Mine were six weeks early.
