This morning I was trying to get things together to get everybody out of the house. Emmie was being needy and wanting to be held constantly and Rod was not home. I decided to give in and let Emersen sit in the middle of the kitchen floor with my wallet. Before you judge me you try to brush your hair, brush your teeth, argue with a 3 yr. old about what he is going to wear and help him get dressed and put on his shoes and make sure he goes potty, pack enough supplies for a baby with stomach issues and pack the car with one hand. Don't worry I'm not a complete moron, I made sure Emmie was not interested in putting pennies in her mouth. I didn't take the time to remove the pennies but we had a pack she was not going to eat any. She was doing great, I was getting my stuff done and not losing my sanity.
The funny thing with kids is how they like to trick you. Just when you think you have a handle on things you turn around and realize there's always something else to prove you have no control. Or in this case just when I think Emmie is not in danger with the pennies I turn around to find she has moved on to a major appliance 2 ft away holding a very sharp cutting device.
It's a good thing I asked you not to judge me in the beginning of this story since I just showed you a picture of my 1 year old with three sharp knives at her feet.

Are you kidding me? What's to judge? I know that mommyhood is pretty universal and we have all had those moments. OK...So I've had A LOT of them!! But, you had the picture handy to capture it all-how did that happen? :)
I'm glad you were talking to me as you happened upon this, I got the first-hand reaction. Yep, it's pretty much how you described. I agree with Shannon...we've all been there.
