A Day in the Life

My house is a mess.
Dirty clothes threaten to mix with the one basket of unfolded clean clothes. 
The dirty dishes cover the sink. 
My child will not take a nap even though she did not sleep well last night. 
Right now I am letting her scream in her crib because I don't know what else to do. 
She is old enough to throw fits but I have no idea what she wants because she can't talk 
I worry that I'm enabling her fits and I can't help but wonder if I'm spoiling her,
 but to be honest I'll do almost anything if she'll just stop crying. 
I miss my old job.
I feel stuck in my messy small house. 
I don't want to cook or bake and I don't like any of the options we have for dinner but I've used most the food budget already so no eating out tonight. 
Crying is so on my nerves right now. 
Today is just a fail. Ugg.

Lets look at the positive:
I did give my child and myself a bath so we are both clean and well dressed. 
I got a 10 min work out in today. 
I made scrambled eggs for breakfast.
My little girl has had 2 well rounded meals so far today. 
My bed is made so at least there is one place in my house that feels and looks clean. 
I have not yelled at anyone or anything today.

and she is still crying in her crib. 

What is my child teaching me today...I don't know or care, I just wish she would fall a sleep and my house would clean itself. 

...10 Minutes Later
My beautiful little girl has stopped crying and fallen a sleep in my arms. Worth it!
I love my life, promise.
