It's been QUITE a day today.
Here are the infractions on the list (and keep in mind that it is only 3:59pm at the time of this writing):
1. As we were getting ready to walk out the door to take a walk with a neighbor, Gabe puked up his whole breakfast on himself. I'd just removed his bib about 30 seconds prior. It soaked his pants, sweater, shirt and onesie, so we had to start all over again with the wardrobe decisions. To add insult to injury, as I pulled off his sweater, I accidentally smeared the spit-up onto his face and into his hair.
2. Gabe wouldn't take a nap. I have nothing more to say about this, my ears are bleeding from listening to him whine about it.
3. The dogs pooped on the living room rug.
4. One of the dogs puked 5 times on the living room rug because they ate snacks out of Gabe's hand.
5. Then Gabe ate the left over bits of the snack that had fallen out of the dogs' mouths. The previously slobbered on bits.
6. I was in the kitchen getting materials to clean up the puke, and returned to find Gabe sitting on the floor with my coffee mug between his legs, licking the rim of the coffee cup to get the remnants. Shocking that he won't take a nap, no? He was saying "mmmm, mmmm, mmmm" to himself while he licked the edge, and screamed when I took it away.
7. My house is a disaster zone, DISASTER, and with Josh working late every night this week, I've had no time to clean and I'm supposed to host a book club tomorrow night. I am surrounded by piles of dirty clothes and dust bunnies.
8. Josh also just sent me an email with the list of traveling that he will be doing over the next two months. A list of traveling that includes several nights and days away from us.
Sigh. Just sigh.

In other news, we're introducing Gabe to some musical classics, and would welcome suggestions.
So far, he enjoys:
Billy Joel
Elton John
Lionel Richie
Tina Turner
Neil Diamond
Bruce Springsteen
Rod Stewart
He also did some dancing to Tiffany's "I think we're alone now", when it came on the radio the other day.
Any thoughts on who we should add to the list?

I think you should tell your book group guests tomorrow that it's a party game to fold the laundry and pick up the house. Perhaps say something about the imagery in the book and how it relates to our cluttered lives and how you left the house like that so that they could really remember what they'd learned. I think you can do it. I am confident you can pull it off ;).
Sorry it's been a rough day.
Simon & Garfunkel? Lady loved them, remember? Oh and she also adds, no sorry, demands, that you should give Gabe a complete Coldplay collection.
Send your dust bunnies over to my place to get them out of the way. I'm positive they will enjoy playing with my daddy long legs and also all of the leaves that keep finding their way inside my house despite my best efforts to banish them.
My boys enjoyed the Beach Boys and Jimmy Buffett.
