My "Good" Days

I get asked plenty of times about how I'm doing managing a toddler and an infant. I always tell them the same thing. "I'm fine. I've just been getting less sleep. So we've been having good days." I truly believe my definition of a good day is probably way different than other people's definition of a good day. My idea of a good day really just means I survived another day without too many meltdowns from my kids and I don't have to go hide in a corner to calm my nerves.

For example, the other day my toddler had a meltdown over watching Mickey Mouse. I put on Mickey Mouse clubhouse for her, but she didn't want that Mickey. She also didn't want the Mickey starring the three musketeers, nope she wanted a very specific Mickey Mouse movie that she couldn't quite communicate, so she had a 10 minute tantrum until after going through six different Mickey shows on Netflix, I finally found it. But that was the extent of the tantrums that day so it was a "good" day.
Another example would be when my toddler also thought the kitty litter looked a lot like the sandbox we got for her, so she was playing in it. Cat litter and cat poop got everywhere. Not only did I have to clean cat litter out of the carpet, I had to wash my daughter down, while she is trying to hide and she was running around trying not to let me catch her. During that point I was just hoping my 1 month old daughter wouldn't wake up to the noise.
Each and everyday right now I am getting a maximum of 4-5 hours of interrupted sleep.
So yes, my days are good when there are minimal amounts of crazy. If I get one little bit of crazy a day, I would say I'm doing pretty good, if it's more than that, I'm probably wanting to pull my hair out.
