Heeellllp Meeeee!!!

Today was pretty much hell. It wasn't anyone's fault, it just worked out that way. As I was walking out the door this morning, my sitter called and said she was sick and couldn't watch Kayla. It being last-minute, I had no options but to take her to work with me. At first I figured this was a good thing; it would save us some money and also some milk, since we wouldn't be using bottles and I could pump during the day, too. To spare you the details, it was a really bad day during which I felt like screaming and napping, alternatively. It is nearly impossible to get ANYTHING done with a baby around, and she was sick to boot, so she didn't want to play by herself; she wanted Mommy to hold her. So with two flailing hands and arms in front of me, I attempted to type with one hand and get emails sent, stories written and tasks completed. Needless to say I will NOT be doing that again. I've definitely learned the benefits to have a babysitter. The fun part of the day came when Daddy came to eat lunch with us. He held Kayla and played with her so Mommy could have a break. It was lovely. And at that point during the day, I was able to laugh and enjoy my daughter. Here she is reaching for the camera after Daddy put her hood up. She was trying to get it off her head and it was hilarious, but I couldn't get that part on camera.
