should be working but....

well, today started out as a great monday and almost turned to shit...and i mean literally. the girls and i had a play date with one of the other girls in izzy's class at the mall playground. this place is great for annie, totally padded and challenging for my little go getter. however, the day progressed as usual until bath time. i walked away from the bathroom for 30 seconds to get towels for the girls and izzy comes running down the hall with a diaper full of SHIT in her hands screaming, "mommy mommy i poopoo-ed". well, she did not just poo; she apparently had a small case of diareaha and is currently running around the house with it balancing in the diaper luckily she had folded in half the correct way so it was kinda hidden. however, she was covered in poo so i had to rinse or rather hand scrub her in the shower before putting her in the bathtub all the while annie is desperately trying to find to play in the poo mess everywhere. once izzy is in the tub i called cade in to sit with the girls while i started the poo covered laundry and cleanup all the while holding in my gag reflex that comes along with such events. at this point i figure "hey what is more shit now" and scoop out the cat box along with picking up the dog doo in the front yard.
so, you can imagine when jeff pulled up in the middle of this i was on the verge of losing it. he jumped in and helped with the bathing and dressed iz while i put annie down. for the first time in a long time, we had both girls down and asleep by 7:30. it is amazing what can get done when they go to sleep on time.
if you are wondering the whole losing weight thing is not working so well. i have not had time to dedicate to working out and apparently slightly starving myself is not going to work. i figure if i can get back to blogging this week, maybe i will fit in working out next week.
oh, if i have not already mentioned it, izzy is going to little gym now and loving every minute of it. i like going and interacting with other moms, it is always nice to hear comments about your kiddos from strangers, well, the nice comments anyways.

Bummer about the poo. My youngest went through a phase where he took off his poop diapers and brought them to me. Very disgusting since most did fall on the floor. Hope Izzy gets to feeling better. She is precious! It was fun getting to meet her Saturday.
