surviving motherhood

There are days - like when both kids went to bed at 10:00 and got up at 5:30 and are sick with a cold but nobody naps for more than 10 minutes despite the late bedtime, even the baby, and you can't go for two minutes without wiping up bodily fluids of some sort off of any and every surface and you barely leave the house/yard - those days you almost have no choice but to pop in a video and open a bottle of wine at 5 in the afternoon.

I'm having one of those days.
