Lily stood at the table painting her nails and proceeded to pee all over the carpet because she didn't want to stop. O.K. no big deal but then I put her in the tub and proceeded to clean up dinner. Because I was in a hurry I didn't notice half the bag had fallen off the garbage can and I was scraping oily onions straight into the bin. So add that to the clean up. Brian was feeling bored and a little claustrophobic so he was also in a bad mood. Oh and remember the girls were painting their nails. They had nail polish all over the table.
Don't those nails look so pretty though?
I quickly realized we were headed downhill so off to bed everyone went. Normally these types of hiccups would bring joking and laughter but none of us were in the mood to see the bright side. The next morning I woke up to find out that Lily had wet the bed. What was happening!? My fully potty trained kid was definitely regressing. OK off to the laundry mat to clean the sheets. Also did I mention all this was during the time the toilet water line was broken and we still hadn't figured out how to fix it. Anyways, We headed out to our new church and there were some tears and anxiety about the whole thing. I forgot how hard it is to be the new people. We were so comfortable in our last place that it was definitely the hardest transition we have had to make. We were all a bit tired when we got home so we spent the rest of the day playing and relaxing. That did the trick and everyone is back to feeling in better spirits.
Our first Sunday in the trailer
I have to remind myself that whether we live in a big house or a small trailer, rough days happen. This isn't unique to our home. It's easy to start blaming this on the trailer and tell ourselves we have made a bad choice and maybe should have never done this. But bad days always pass and things always get better.
