what a day!

let me just start by saying... if today goes like yesterday... i'm switching the sign to closed and going home!
once upon a time... a time about yesterday... it was a horrid day! one thing after another happened... it started out the kids were fighting over toys... jacob would knock jayden off, push her out of the way and then run off with the toy. then at about 9:30 he decided to go across the street to the salon and watch movies over there (the little old ladies love him and spoil him rotten), so i told him to call and ask and they told him it was fine. it was nice and quite for a couple hours then i went to pick him up and things were still good... 'till i brought him back over here. then... lunch was a disaster! jayden is into laying on /across the table, because she is trying to sit in the big girl chair, so she lays in her food and gets it on her clothes, she reaches for brothers food which then gets them in a fight, 'causing brother to yell and scream, starting the lunch disaster. well, i got jayden to take a half hour nap after lunch, so i got my book work done quickly. meanwhile, jacob chose not to take his nap but, to get himself in trouble while he was supposed to sleep. he gets really tired and crabby if he doesn't get his nap. well, jason was out all day, so i was by myself with the kids... fairly normal, but stressful too at times. i decided i would try to clean in the back shop, but ever time i'd get back there, the phone would ring or a customer would come in. after an hour i decided to quit. well, then i decided i should really be a good wife and help jason out, so i was cutting a customer's glass order and while i was doing that the kids were running around and making a mess out of, my just freshly swept, shop. mind you, they were sweeping broken glass with their hands. then after i help another customer and yell at them for the danger they were in with the broken glass, i get back to cutting some more glass. while i'm cutting this glass, i hear them around the corner... where i knew they shouldn't be playing, so i decided to go look. when i checked them, jacob had managed to get the top off of a spray paint can and jayden was sucking on the tip. AUGH!!!!! i had just had it by this time, so i decided to just start closing everything up, because it was almost time to go home. well, jason called and said he was going to be late and i was on my own with the kids... GREAT! well, we dropped off a level for jason at a job he was working on and then we went home for dinner. during dinner jacob decided to talk back at mommy and then stick his tongue out and mock mommy's instructions to him. I WAS FURIOUS! i told him that if he didn't stop he wouldn't be able to go to church, so this started a meltdown. mind you, i wasn't really going to keep him back from church, because he really needs that and he loves it! i also love it, and need that hour and a half to myself, or as the night would bring it, jayden and myself. well, we fought for 20 minutes then i brought him to church. i then turn around get home and unload jayden when my phone rings and we have to go back into town to get jason from work. we go and pick him up and then bring him out for dinner and then go back to the church to pick up jacob. what a day! well, then we get him home and he fights us at bath time to get a bath. his bath/bed time is 8:00 and it was already 8:30 when we started. well, we put him to bed, sang, read his bible story for the day, prayed, and then we put jayden to bed and thought we'd do our wii fit workout. while we were working out i thought i heard some noise, so i told jason i would check. well, i just looked up the stairs and didn't see anything, so i went back to my workout. well, when we finished at 10:00 jacob was at the top of the stairs to greet us. needless to say, i think the tired boy= a naughty boy. we need sleep!
hope you have a wonderful day, and here's hoping to a better one for us. ;)
