Dove Promises

Today was a pretty draining kid day. Owen's new voice is "whinnnnnne". And I've been hearing it for 3 days straight. It's 9pm and I can finally tell that both kids are asleep. I stopped to eat a Dove milk chocolate caramel (thanks Doris) and here's what my wrapper said:
I just started laughing. Yea right! How I would have loved to carve out a moment for myself today. What a luxury. Instead....This. This small pause while I eat a tiny piece of chocolate is my little moment. I'd better enjoy it!

Oh, man...one of those days, huh. At least the single moment you had to yourself involved chocolate!

I get it...we spent a great morning at the mall with the kids, getting lunch, riding the merry go round, playing, shopping...and all Lauren wanted to do was whine...Andy and I just had to laugh...it really gets old...just wait till Owen gets old enough where they fight...whining PLUS fighting--that's a sucky combo I tell ya!

i literally had that day yesterday too. not whining but tantrum city. it's SO draining especially when it's raining and you can't get out of the house too much. i'm glad you found a quick little moment for you - sometimes it only takes just a moment to regroup. i hope today is already a better day!

I'm glad you had some chocolate. That makes so many things bearable! And it DOES get easier the older they get.

Haha! Sometimes all we get is the 10 seconds it takes to eat a little chocolate. But yay for something!
