Just One Of THOSE Days

Yesterday was just one of THOSE days.

You know...THOSE days.

The kind of day where you have a specific plan, but for one reason or another it just doesn't pan out.

The kind of day where the entire of colony feels that things are just a bit off.

The kind where you have to rescue your 8-month old because he was choking...on a not-so-alive-anymore beetle.

The kind of day where your 7-year old daughter and your 3-year old daughter shut themselves in the room and play quietly together.

A little TOO quietly together.

So quietly, in fact, that you have to go in and "check" on them.

And you walk in to find your 3-year old, ethnic-haired child, emptying her no-longer full container of hair lotion onto her blonde-haired, not-so-ethnic-at-all-haired 7-year old sister's hair.

1 bath, 2 showers, 5 hair washes and a hair-dryer later...

...and her hair STILL looks greasy and wet!

Just in time for her REAL first day of school (insert forced smile, because let's face it, it really IS funny. RIGHT?!)

And that is when you look over to see your 3-year old son emptying out the hand-soap dispenser into a sippy cup...

Yup, it was just one of THOSE days!

Put dawn dish washing soap in her hair. It will strip it right out, promise! This has happened at my house with vaseline!
