My day pretending to be a SAHM

Today was a GREAT day! A day that I never want to forget and a day that makes me wish so much for the resources to allow me to stay home with my girl. Today we had tantrums (but I got to parent through those tantrums) today we had tears but I got to dry them, we also had A LOT of fun and way more smiles than tears and tantrums.

I also dusted, did laundry and emptied the dishwasher while home girl rocked her 2 hour nap (UNHEARD of!)

We took Bentley to the vet this morning, this was the hardest part of my day (leaving 2 other dogs behind and trying to get Lydia out the door at the same) this was a part of my day where I might have lost my patience a little bit but we survived, I have no idea how people parented before technology and being able to throw Fresh Beats on my iPhone for her to dance around to in the small room while we waited.
 

We also went to the mall where I spent too much at Gymboree (so I have put some back in the bag to take back) Remember, we are trying to live within our means here. Lydia also sat down in the middle of the store and screamed, YES my first full out in public toddler meltdown. Guess what? We survived and were the only ones in the store.

I decided she needed to blow off some steam so we headed to the park and that was fun! Girl was going nuts in the little tubes to get to the fun slide, she was on cloud nine. I might have decided to top it off with some Ice Cream, what's a day off without some ice cream?!?! Plus she's so cute when she eats Ice Cream.

We danced, we read books, we played outside, and there were lots of hugs and kisses. I could definitely get used to this lifestyle but I can't so I will cherish today and head back to the grind tomorrow.
