Having a bad day...

Raced Cameron to school so I could get Gracie to her 2 year check up, only to get almost there and realize it isn't today...Go home where Gracie is whiny all morning and colors on the couch...pick Cameron up from school. This in itself is chaotic. Gracie running every which way, Cameron running towards the street and Gracie following with me screaming like a banshee after them...I swear the other parents think I am crazy...This running toward the street thing has been going on for a while. He comes to a screeching halt right before actually reaching it, but Gracie, who must copy EVERYTHING her brother does, does not...Have conversation with Cameron about running towards the street, hold his hand and drag him screaming to the car(because he doesn't want to hold my hand-too bad) Go to Quizno's for lunch because we have to go to the dentist for Cameron later. Cameron starts crying because his turkey sandwhich is "hot" instead of cold. Won't eat it. Gracie eats NOTHING and throws it all on the floor then spills her juice all down the front of her. Do not have extra clothes. Cameron is still screaming. People are staring(who cares at this point??) negotiate with Cameron to just eat the turkey. Gracie still eats nothing but chips, which I take away, causing more shrieking...Go to Walgrens to pick up a prescription-with no stroller-bad idea. Just getting to the pharmacy counter is exhausting. Must they touch everything in sight???? Pick up prescription, stop Cameron from knocking down vitamin display and try and pick Gracie up, more screaming and tries to get down. It is HARD to hold a toddler who does NOT want to be held! Get into the car-Gracie still crying...Go to the Dentist, where they magically turn into little angle children and do everything the dentist asks of them...Thank goodness home, Gracie is asleep so I put her down, even though she has still eaten nothing...Finally sit down myself. Babysitter comes at 4:00 and I won't be leaving my bedroom for two hours...
