The past couple of days have been exhausting. There hasn't been a ton going on, I've just been really tired lately. I haven't been feeling 100%, which normally wouldn't be a big deal. But Dan has been MIA the past couple of days and so I feel like I've been a single parent. I don't know how people do it on their own. I have a lot of respect for those that do.

I really look forward to the weekends because I know that I will get a little bit of a break and not being soley responsible for the girls. But Dan's best friend is in town, so Dan has been gone for almost all of Sunday and all of yesterday. I didn't even see him yesterday. He went straight from work to see Chris and I was asleep when he got home.

Yesterday was not a good day in this house. Bg1 was having some serious obedience issues. Not one huge thing, just a bunch of little things, over and over, that add up after a while. The last straw was when she shattered the glass on the top of my grandmother's nightstand. I don't think she meant to do it, but she was throwing a tantrum (which I also don't stand for) and knocked something on to the glass and it shattered. That was at about 3:30 and she was in her bed for the rest of the night. I just couldn't deal with her anymore and with Dan gone, I felt like it was best for all of us if we didn't interact any more. She cried and cried for hours. But she also told me later, when I went in to get her ready for bed and put Bg2 down, that she thought about what she did. I know she hated being secluded, but if it works, I'm willing to do it again. Bedtime did not come fast enough yesterday. Once the girls were down, I made a nest in my bed and watched TV until I fell asleep.

All I know is that if today is not a better day, this mommy may have to run away for a few hours.
