On of Those Days?

Have you ever had "one of those days" where it just feels like it wont end. The last few weeks have been one of those days for me.  I'm starting to wonder if I need to get used to it and that's what two mobile children means.
Grace has been potty training since the end of January and I'm ready to give in and wait a month to restart the potty training. She started out SO wonderfully, was going great even started going b herself. Then we had a few busy away form home days and now she wets herself all the time, sometimes lets me know she has to go pee. She also was getting much better at pooping on the potty, like every day we'd get a poop on the potty, now it's only in her pants- not one in the potty in weeks. I'm ready for her to be fully trained and keep thinking if I just spend a week hard core training it'll get her back to good again, but every week has been hectic somehow.
Adam has been crawling now a few weeks and that's great. I forgot how fast they move and how much they put in their mouths. Having an older sibling makes it all the harder, they leave a LOT on the floor that can go in the mouth and be choked on. Luckily we've never had to deal with a choking, but I'm always aware of it and try to be vigilant.
I look at my kids and they make me smile (and pull out my hair). Somedays I have to remind myself to look at them for the good they are, not the mess she's making but the learning she's doing. Not the spit up on the floor, but the happy little boy. They're great and I'm happy to have them drive me crazy.
