A tough job

Being a stay at home mom is HARD.

Today has been rough.  By 9:00, I had changed two poopy diapers and one pair of poopy undies.  We walked to the park this morning with one girl in the stroller and one in the Baby Bjorn carrier, because Emily begged and begged to go.  Somehow, I spent the 40 minutes prior to our outing chasing a naked girl who wouldn't get dressed so she could go on the swings!! Then, Emily spent 10 minutes on the swings and said she wanted to go home, which was fine with me because it was an exhausting outing.  It was so frustrating making lunch for her because she was so hungry that all she could do was fuss at me.  I wanted to read her some books to settle her down for naptime, but every time I did, Audrey would remind me that she wasn't quite asleep yet, and then I'd have to go rock her.  I just couldn't get Emily's attention this morning, it seemed, which seems counterintuitive to her wanting more of my attention.  Audrey has been eating every 2 hours today instead of 3, so that's out of whack too.  It's been SO frustrating today!!  Is every day going to be this hard??
