Hadley is quick on her feet, that is for sure. Today was destined to be a long day because Eric left around 4 am for state track and wasn’t going to get home until after 8pm. The girls and I got up and put our sunscreen on first thing and headed outside. We spent most of the day going in and out and just relaxing/playing in general.

Then the series of fits started. Hadley was just proving to have a difficult time dealing with much of anything and my patience was wearing thin. At one point, I just stopped and closed my eyes and started to take some deep breaths because I really thought I was on the brink of losing it. At that moment, Hadley, with wide eyes looked up at me and said, “you are losing the patience mama.”

I immediately started to laugh and just couldn’t stop. That kid is too funny.

Finally it was super time and Hadley insisted that she was not hungry. Both kids were tired and crabby and it was way too early to put them to bed, so I loaded them up in the car. Hadley fell asleep almost right away and Zoey just started to screech loudly. I couldn’t tell if she was happy or angry, but I thought she sounded a bit irritated. So, I went through a Wendy’s drive thru and got some hamburgers and Zoey and I ate and drove around while Hadley slept. It was the moment of peace I was really needing today, and I was willing to go to any length to get it.

The girls happily went to bed early and I was super tired too. Thankfully Eric got home safe, and I believe he is more exhausted than any of us. We have really fun plans for the weekend, and hopefully will have some pictures to show for it on Monday!
