That is the one word to describe Seattle Day Three. The entire day up until a few minutes ago was a trainwreck. Last night I wrote a long post detailing the day, but there was some kind of computer error causing the loss of the post. So, since I am not in the mood to be witty or creative I will give you the quick and dirty of yesterday's events.....lost in downtown Seattle, screaming kid in backseat, no parking, vomit, vomit covered BORROWED car and BORROWED carseat, falling down fits in hall with witnesses, spankings (hairy eyeballs from witnesses), babies who would not go to sleep.
Toddlerhood has hit me between the eyes!
------------
On a lighter note and on to Seattle Day Four the twins and I are headed to a cabin at the base of the Olympic Mountains with the company owner's daughter, wife, and granddaughter today. It should be exciting with a ferry ride and all. I will medicate my sweet daughter who gets motion sickness. David will be joining us tomorrow evening, and we will be staying until Saturday. I can't wait to see the mountains and the twins' reaction to them. I'm also looking forward to watching them play with a new friend, Hunter who is one year younger than T and E.
Hopefully, this excursion will help me get myself in a better frame of mind after yesterday's trainwreck of a day. I have decided I don't do well with bad days.....I let the little things bother me....need to work on that.

I am so thrilled to hear that your grandfather is doing better. While reading your post,I can 't help but read it with a grin on my face and laugh. I know it was not fun for you going threw your trainwreak of a day. You will look back on it later and laugh. It will be a memory that you will keep. I have had those days. Now, I can look back and laugh. On the other hand, I know I still have several years of them still to come. If you can think if it during your breakdown moment, take a picture of the madness. I did recently. I so laugh and others laugh, too when I show the accompanying picture to the "pull your hair out" moment.
Hang in there and enjoy your trip.

Happy Birthday Ashley!!
Tried to call, but it rang with no voice mail? Will try again later.
Cathy is right... if you can, take a photo. I have a great picture of Eric crying his head off because Rachel took "his" pots & pans. I'll see if I can scan and post it.
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday, Ashley... I think it is today! hope it is an adventurous one :)
