Today I became a Ring master. My house was turned into a big top, with one gassy baby and an almost 2 year old who had a 30 minute nap the circus would have gladly welcomed us!!!
VT had her first real full out tantrum today, after she was told she could not have a popsicle. She has had a few now and again when she doesn't get what she wants but this was a falling on the floor, screeching, drooling, hitting type. It lasted for about 15 minutes, the poor thing broke a sweat. Thank goodness Chuck is such a great Daddy, he was our only saving grace at that point. She finally calmed down but WHOA, do we have a hot headed, strong willed, determined drama queen.
As I sit here thinking about what a LONG, crazy day it has been and how earlier I thought I would gladly run off to the circus I know that really I wouldn't want it any other way. It reminds me of one of my favorite songs, one that defines my life perfectly...
The kids screamin', phone ringin'
Dog barkin' at the mailman bringin'
That stack of bills, overdue
Good morning, baby, how are you
Got a half hour, a quick shower
Take a drink of milk, but the milk's gone sour
My funny face makes you laugh
Twist the top on, and I put it back
There goes the washin' machine
Baby, don't kick it
I promise I'll fix it
'Long about a million other things
Well, it's okay, it's so nice
(It's) just another day in paradise
Where there's no place that
I'd rather be
Well, it's two hearts
And one dream
I wouldn't trade it for anything
And I ask the Lord every night, ooh
For just another day in paradise
Friday, you're late
Guess we'll never make our dinner date
At the restaurant you start to cry
Baby, we'll just improvise
Well, Plan B looks like
Dominoes' pizza in the candlelight
Then we'll tippy toe to our room
Make a little love that's overdue
But somebody had a bad dream
Mama and daddy
(Can) me and my teddy
Come in and sleep in between
For just another day in paradise, oh yeah
Well, it's the kids screamin', the phone ringin'
Just another day
Well, it's Friday, you're late
Oh, yeah
It's just another day in paradise
