What did I do with all my time?

As I chase a toddler through the house every 2 seconds steering her away from all things jungle gym like, electronic or otherwise breakable I wonder exactly what I filled all this time with before.  Seriously, toddlerhood is no joke,  I forget what it's even like to sit on my couch with my lap top and not have a child trying to push buttons, flip down the screen or steal my mouse from me.  To not have to get up every 2 mins after I sit down to turn her away from something, try and translate some baby talk into what is is that shes telling me she wants (today "baby" didn't mean the baby doll that was on top of the book shelf, didn't mean the book with baby in it but it did mean the tiny little photo album that I let her have with pictures of her as a baby in it, seriously she cried" baby, baby, baby" over and over until I touched the right object!)  This kid has an endless supply of energy, never stopping to refuel for more than 45 seconds.

This is the half its so funny I can't help but laugh/why are you tickling me look.

Seriously feeling like I need some chill time today..... too bad bed time is 3 hours away and then its time for my own bed time shortly after!

Thankful Day 19

Today I am thankful for the peace and quite that is going to happen. right. now...  Mom borrowed the wee one for the night!  I still have to leave the house by 5am to make it to work by 6 tomorrow but hopefully I won't get sucked into some stupid movie that I just have to watch (even though I could totally DVR it) and I get myself to bed early.  Quiet, calm, nose in a book I want to finish, ahhh, I don't even want to leave the house.
