hell week

So, for real, mad props to single moms! I'm just single while Chris is doing a rotation in Utah right now, and I'm strugglin'. It hasn't really been a week from hell just a couple days but the week isn't over yet and it's supposed to snow tomorrow. Anyway, I've heard about kids frantically screaming in the dentist chair, but I've now experienced it first hand! It was a nightmare!!! I took canyon to the dentist last week, and he had a cavity on each side, so I had to take him back yesterday to have them filled, they eventually had to wrap him in the velcro blanket thing, switch dentists and i started crying on top of it all, yeah that's exactly what the nice dentists need, a crying mom who can't control her kid. It was so traumatic, and he has to go back and get the other side done, because they couldn't finish. He is going back with Chris, that's all there is to it. So today, Sheridan goes down for her nap and 1/2 hour later is crying, not typical, so i go in and she is covered in what else but poop. So gross. I don't remember signing up for this! Then we had soccer practice where I chase Sheridan around for a half hour, and I did my visiting teaching. I seriously cannot wait for my mom and big sis to come and help me pack this weekend, I'll probably cry when they leave. Also when they get here as relief pours over me, I won't be alone for two days!! I do love my kids, and I keep trying to remind myself the joy of motherhood comes in moments. But the dentisty, poopy moments are not in that category my friends.
