A Bad Bad Day

Beware - Major whining below.....
Ugh! Today was a day where you just want every problem to go away so you can crawl into bed and read!
My Mom graciously watched the babies so Jason and I could head to Babies r us (45 min away) to look for some more safety items and also pick up some gifts from my sister's registry (her baby is due in a few weeks). So we headed to the store, spent a lot of time looking around. There were great sales and of course our cart filled up quickly: a gate for my parents' house, a shower gift, a mobile for my sister (she knows about it), clothes for the twins at 30% off, safety items, formula, cleaning supplies (had coupons).....
So the bill rang up higher than we wanted to see. :( Boo!
So as we are wrapping the shower gifts with their free gift wrap, we look over our bill to see why it was so much and notice some things rang up too much. It took about 45 min total to check out and return the mispriced items and then recheck out.
We were both "short" with each other (sorry Jason) because it has just been a stressful week.
Once we got home the babies woke from nap and they were both cranky all evening. Finally I bathe them and then we are getting bottles ready and we hear a loud awful noise from the basement (washer drum - its an HE washer- is hanging inside and broken).
So then we figure to just feed the babies and put them to bed so we can look at the washer. So Nicholas drinks 8oz and Celia drinks about 5 oz and I grab Celia's leftover bottle since Nicholas still is hungry. Right when he finishes he pukes it all over my lap, chair, floor, himself (just had a bath). So as I am changing him, then he pees on the carpet.
Finally we get them to bed and look at the washer and realize it is broke pretty bad??
Appliance repair has closed just less than an hour prior so we have to wait until tomorrow to even book an appointment.
so Jason and I wring all the clothes out by hand so they can be dried. However, since we use cloth diapers, we have a bin full of dirty diapers (luckily my parents let us run the diapers to wash at their house so they dont stink to high-heaven by the time the washer is fixed).
So finally at 9pm we eat dinner (first meal of the day for both of us).
The babies have been sleeping awful since the last weekend. They are both waking up a lot and crying. I am hoping both of their teeth come through soon. nicholas wants to sleep in our bed too. And my upper back, neck and shoulders are aching so much from lifting the babies that I havent been sleeping well.
Lets hope tomorrow gets better. :(

  1. Oh man Jill, I hope your day tomorrow is better too. What is going on with our babies? These are the days when going to jury duty sounds more fun. It will get better - it has too, right? :). Hang in there!

    oh, and good thing about your parents washer being available. Especially since you are using cloth diapers.
