Laugh or cry?

I've had one of those days where I think back and it may have been better to just stay in bed. Preggo emotions are probably not making things any easier either - I've felt so off all day...frustrated, upset, angry, sad...you name it I've gone through it today. What can you do but try and make it through and hope for better tomorrow.

Looking back, I should be able to laugh about at least one incident today. Ryan and I just finished painting the baby's room this weekend. We did one wall a bright orange and the rest a light, khaki brown - it looks really nice and the colours work well together. So today as I'm putting away groceries Payton is playing ever so nicely upstairs. I'm thinking 'gee, maybe the day is turning around and will be better this afternoon'. After I'm done putting the groceries away I go upstairs to see what she's up to - after all, she is being pretty quiet. Well, we hadn't gotten around to putting the painting supplies away yet and there was a yogurt container with a sponge brush in it sitting with the rest of the supplies; we had been using this to do some of the trim. It was empty but unfortunately there was a small amount of paint in the bottom that I thought was dry...apparently not. I go into the baby's room and see that Payton has been 'helping paint' brown over top of the orange! Poor thing - I was so upset that all I said to her was 'TIME OUT'. She starts crying, puts herself in time out without another word. Fortunately I caught it before it dried and was able to get all the paint off the wall and restore it back to normal. Payton and I had a little chat about asking Mommy or Daddy before you paint - it was quite funny because when Ryan got home from work she immediately told him that she shouldn't paint walls unless she asked...I guess she learned her lesson! All this was not a huge thing, but in an emotional day it seems to add up.

Well, I'm going to sleep and hope that I'm not nearly as emotional tomorrow!
