Today was..... not a good day

I knew going into being a stay at home mom that there would be bad days.  I'm not naïve enough to think that it's all sunshine and rainbows.  Sometimes the bad days aren't too bad, and some days they're just plain awful.  Today was kinda in the middle, but heading toward that awful end.  It started out good!  The girls got their own breakfast (and we are now out of applesauce), they played a lot while I was puttering in the kitchen, and William was his happy self.  Then just slowly throughout the day, it got progressively worse.  Kensi just started having accident after accident after accident, William was doing his whole eat 2 to maybe 2.5oz then only napping for like an hour, Isabelle basically stopped listening and started being naughty....ect.  It just seemed like someone flipped a damn switch!  Kensi was getting tired and that doesn't help.  You can always tell when she's really tired because any time she falls or gets bumped or anything, she just cries like she's really hurt.  So I got to deal with that too.  It was just all at once.  Was really hoping Grant would be home at a normal time so that I could get a break.   I was going to have him get the kids in bath and bed so I could just chill downstairs.  But I guess that was just asking the Parenting Gods for too much.  He's gone for the night so it was all me.  Figured I'd skip the bath since they didn't get all that dirty being we were indoors, but do the brush teeth and get jammers on.  Apparently that was the VERY wrong thing to do.  Took me an hour to get them to stay in bed and laying down long enough to fall asleep.  The rest of the time Kensi kept getting out of bed, then racing back in when she heard me coming.  Then Izzy got in on the action.  You know in the movies how the steam comes out of the persons ears when they're really mad?  Ya, that was me.  I felt like my head was about to explode and I was going to lose my shit.  William, at least, went down really well.  The only win I had today was the fact that both girls ate a really good supper. 
Now that they're in bed and I can finally breathe again, I'm going to nurse the last glass of wine in my bottle, grab my yarn to work on Kensi's blanket, and read some more while listening to Jazz.  I need to get myself re-centered again.  I still feel really wound up.  Guys, pray for me that both girls stay down all night and that William has a really good night.  I need it!
