God Why?

Do you ever have one of those days where it seems like one event after the next you just keep asking God why? Then a few min later you think we'll maybe ___ or oh ___ was why . Today is one of those days!

The God why events started with Ruth being tired and not wanting to go to sleep. The Fed Ex Man brought Martha's New car seat. So we of course had to get it out and she had to play in it and wanted it put in the car. And she though it was great fun to scratch the foam off a packing piece so I guess the face that shortly earlier Ruth was covered in dog fur from the floor was the alternative reason I needed to vacuum. So all those things happened. And thankfully the rain was on hiatus during the car seat install. Then all the sudden we had to run around fast and get ready for her gymnastics class. We made it into the car just in time to avoid the big drops., and turned out upon getting into the car that the microwave time was fast so we were not late but early! Then the short drive to gym...Ruth still didn't go to sleep so I didn't have to wake her up for that we all "crawled" into front seat to get ready to get out in the rain. We got inside well before the big down poor. No one else was there for class yet so I got to take care of scheduling a make-up and checking on when I signed up for summer class.

Ruth zonked out during class and Martha had a great time playing with a little cohort Megan...they have similar personalities so it can be interesting but it was good :) I sometimes forget that my child has a bit of a aptitude towards the sport until she is listening good and things all click :) I hope she can continue to develop in her behavior so she can keep having fun...because man does she have fun when she's learning and doing great! So the rain lets up and I think maybe I can get Ruth in her seat w/out waking her up...fail! Donno for the reason on this but she is happily out currently!

Home we spend a long time preparing and eating lunch! I love that with removing "problem" foods Martha has started eating good for me again...well at lunch anyway! The world is not aligning for breakfast these days and dinner seems to be hit of miss. Well the down side to this Martha eating thing is that she is so distractable and active it takes forever! In and out bits and breaks. I was done long before her and she started eating before me! So I go about trying to get things done that need done. She goes off outside to push an imaginary child that needed a pushed again on the swing set and I take Ruth to put diapers in the dryer. Zeke promptly comes to steal Martha's food. So I angerly sent him back out side, finish loading the dryer and tell Martha we need to remember to crate Zeke for meals because "I can't handle this"! (A phrase that gets repeated frequently back to me). I put her plate up high on the counter and turn to pull a chair up so she can come get more...didn't realize Ruth was holding onto a glass bowl! Crash...mad mommy glass everywhere...dog and Martha banished outside...Ruth gated into the Living room. Apparently I need to do a better job at keeping my kitchen floor clean because this is like the 2nd time in the last week that God has helped me get it nice and clean.

So now I need to go back and mop when I wanted to be cleaning the unsold garage sale junk out of the garage so I can get the car in there again! Back to life...again doing a lousy job balancing it!
