One of Those Weeks

This week has caused me to look around and ask whose idea was it to have all these kids… And by all these kids I mean two kids, one who is self sufficient and the other who still poops her pants.

Ava has entered a temper tantrum phase. Like if I decide that diaper rash cream is not a good option for her to eat for a snack and take it away she will scream like a banshee…. seriously. Leg kicking, shrieking, rolling on the ground tantrum. Nice.

This morning I took Kramer to the vet. Ava decided that she wanted to be the one to reside in the cat carrier. She crawled in and was not amused when we had to pull her out and put the cat in. At the moment that she was shrieking so loud that I thought the window might break I thought about leaving her in the cat carrier and just strapping that into the car, sounds safe enough, right?

Kramer is fine, by the way. He has healed enough that he is not in pain. We will just watch him and keep him comfortable. I am relieved that I don't have to make any tough decisions at this point. And today's visit was only $99.00 Yippee!

We decided to hire some help to come in and clean. Honestly, I just can't get it all done. Well, I could, but I hate ignoring the kids to clean. Ava is pretty needy when it comes to wanting my full attention and I feel l owe her that. I hate spending hours on the weekend cleaning when we could be doing something as a family. A lady was recommended to me that is reasonable. So we'll see how it goes. I am hoping that having some help will let me be a little more relaxed and not feel like I am not getting anything accomplished.
