Craptastic Morning!

What a way to start a Monday!

Cami woke up around 5:30 this morning for her bottle. Ben does the night time bottles...yes, he is a godsend and I am very, very thankful to him! He goes in and I continue to hear Cami crying so I get up because last time she continued to cry after he went in, she had pooped and peed every where. So I am mentally preparing myself for an awful mess...no mess, just mad that she is getting her diaper changed so back to bed for me.

I can't fall asleep though because I have three huge mosquito bites on my foot and they are itching soooo bad. I get up and go to the kids' bathroom to apply some cortisone cream. I do smell something awful but the diaper pail is in the hall so I attribute the smell to that. As I finish applying my cream, Ben has finished feeding Cami and goes into get the dog out of his crate and I hear "Oh my god, Cody" and then a bunch of curse words, which I won't repeat here. Cody has pooped on every single part of his crate and the rug around it. He is covered in poop too! Wonderful, it's 6:00 and we already have our first poop to deal with and it's bad...really bad! Cody gets let out and on his way out the door, he leaves poop footprints in the hall and on the stairs...fabulous!

Thank god for Ben because I have no stomach to clean up dog poop...kiddo poop, no problem...dog poop on the other hand, I can't handle. Ben cleans up all the poop prints and then attempts to clean up the crate. I try to go back to sleep but Cami is having a grand old time in her crib. She is screeching and screaming with joy as she plays with her hands and feet. She finally fall asleep at 6:20 and then I hear Brayden screaming "Daddy open door, Daddy open door." Why is he up? He usually sleep until at least 7. I think maybe he will go back to sleep...definitely not in the cards today. I finally grab him around 6:40 and he comes into bed with me to watch Sesame Street. When Brayden comes into our bed, he does not snuggle or even lie down. He is up and loud, which means no more sleep for mommy.

So here I sit, counting down the minutes to nap time. Cami is already asleep and Brayden is finishing up watching Wonder Pets and then he is off to bed. I hope to catch a nap but I have to do the dishes and then fold about 100 loads of laundry. You are probably saying "forget the laundry," but I have ignored for a week (maybe even two) and it's getting to the point where there is no room left on the floor to even pile anymore clean clothes so I must, must fold it. So my morning started at 5:30...and needless to say, I AM TIRED!
