One of those days

I was trying to get Lilli ready for mom's group at church this morning. (She gets to play with a bunch of other kids and has a great time.) I laid out a shirt, hoodie, jeans, socks and boots for her and asked her to get dressed. She said she wanted to wear a pretty dress. (Have I mentioned her penchant for pretty dresses? I think it was a few posts back.) I told her that it was 45 degrees outside and windy, so she would wear what I had picked out. She proceeded to throw herself down on the floor, kicking and screaming.


I told her she could go to her room, and when she was dressed in the clothes I had picked out, she could come out. She came out nearly 2 hours later. But she was wearing the clothes! (She also came out 2 times before that- once wearing a sundress and a dozen hairbows, and once in her footed pj's with a tutu, asking if she could have some candy now.)


Needless to say, we missed mom's group. I was disappointed, to say the least. But I stood my ground. Instead I got started on cleaning my house and preparing for my friend's visit from Texas next week.



Then I had an iced coffee and a brownie for lunch. It's been one of those days!
