Get Julia to bed. Play with Grace for another 45 minutes. Attempt to get Grace ready for bed. Grace has fit because I get water on her shirt when I wash her face. Screams and wakes Julia. In a fit of anger take Grace to bed and slam the door. Go downstairs. Both Grace and Julia scream for five minutes. Climb back up the stairs. Apologize to Grace for abrupt bedtime routine. Grace apologizes for throwing a fit and not following directions. Read her one story. Leave room to settle Julia. While settling Julia hear Grace run to the bathroom. Lay Julia in crib. Julia begins to scream. Find Grace in bathroom with poop on her leg and the floor. Didn't make it to the potty on time. Put Grace in shower to clean her up. Dry Grace and bring her back to bed. Find poop in the bed. Strip bed. Lay Grace down and kiss her goodnight. Descend stairs again. Julia still screaming.
Craig calls from airport, "How was the bedtime routine?" I reply, "You don't want to know."
Make gin and tonic and lie on couch. Pretend that I'm the one who gets to go away for four nights. Have wonderful dreams.

I wish we were closer together! I am home with Murdoch today - high fever and the drops didn't work for the pink eye so they told us to wait it out for now. So no daycare. Hopefully it clears up soon because he is not happy. Talli came down from Maine though. Good luck the next three nights! I will be thinking of you!
