Oh what a night!

Sam is working.
Trying to get dinner on the table, Caleb is holding on to my leg and crying.
Caleb finally decides to go play in my chair in the dining room.
On my way to the dining room I hear a loud thump, crying.
Caleb has fallen off the chair and is crying and bleeding.
Comfort Caleb, Carter is at the table drinking his milk out of a big boy cup.
Crash - milk is all over Carter, the chair, the floor.
Put Caleb in his highchair so I can clean up.
Get Carter more milk, change Caleb's diaper and put him back in the highchair to eat.
He takes one bite and wants some bread - I give him a bite of bread.
He wants more, I tell him he has to eat a bite of dinner.
He screams.
And screams.
And screams.
I do not give in, I do not give him any more bread.
He tries to throw his plate on the floor.
He tries to throw his cup on the floor.
He screams some more.
Repeat to myself - "Children are a blessing, children are a blessing."
Dinner is over - time for bath.
Bathe both boys and get them out of the tub.
Go to get Caleb a diaper.
Come back into Carter's room - Caleb has peed on the floor.
Clean up Caleb's puddle.
Get pajamas on, brush teeth, read books.
Boys in bed - 20 minutes early.
I have survived.
