Telltale signs of a bad day.
You start making snickerdoodles and then remember that you have no eggs. And then later you make corn bread.
You come home from work at 10:30 and put on sweats. For the rest of the day your two-year old reminds you of this. "Mama, clothes? Put on clothes, Mama?"
That same two-year old cries every time Barney stops singing and you have to talk over the wailing to let him know that Barney started singing again.
A certain four-year old dumped a bucket of dirt, leaves, and sticks on his little brother's head. All you mamas out there that have kids with Caucasian hair, I know you are thinking, "oh well, boys will be boys". Mamas who have kids with AA hair feel me and know this can change your entire evening plans.
I read this today and laughed out loud multiple times. I'm posting the link, but also coping and pasting it, because I know how it goes. If you have had a home run day as well you simply can not be bothered to click a link. (Thanks for posting, Jana!)
