I'm having a day

It's one of those afternoons/evenings where things keep going badly.  Especially my attitude.  We drove Jomo in to school this morning, then hit the library since we were already out.  I was planning to do school in the afternoon after rest time.  But ever since the baby has woken up from her nap she's been terrorizing me.  She's been getting into everything!  The piano books, the library books, the bottom drawer with tupperware (which I usually don't mind except she has a raging cold and snot everywhere!), the pictures on the fridge, etc.  And just as I was putting the styrofoam tray from the chicken in the trash, she of course heads right over to grab that.  On top of all of this, she's figured out how to climb onto the couch and likes to play a game with mommy called "Stand up smiling and watch for mommy to say no!"  She's fallen off the couch three times today, one time head over heals which turned out not too bad, and I just can't be there every minute.  Oh, look. She's playing her game right now as I write.  So admittedly, our house is not very baby-proofed.  And I'm seriously considering spending a good chunk of the holiday weekend working on that.  So, needless to say, with my crabbiness, I went ahead and scrapped the rest of school.  We did read some Thanksgiving books and a little about Van Gogh.  And I think we're going to the art museum tomorrow, but for now the kids are quietly watching a video (after coming in from outdoors covered in mud, including their coats which I just washed), and I think I'm going to go give my little terror some one-on-one time.  Sorry for my long-winded rant.  It all doesn't feel so bad anymore, and I'm going to spend some time thinking about all the things I'm thankful for.  Happy Thanksgiving!
