Have you ever gotten to the point as a parent that you would rather watch your child destroy an entire roll of toilet paper than go one more day without getting dressed or putting makeup on?

I was at such a point this morning.  After 2 weeks of sick Axel and now having a boy that is getting more crabby and sleeping less every day; I am mentally and physically exhausted.

This does not help my appearance.  Luckily with FEW friends in the Mankato area, I don't have a real great chance of seeing anyone I know.  But I'm pretty sure the post office clerks are snickering in the background, "she's really let herself go" and comments like that.

Axel has been such a bear lately that getting dressed is a luxury, not a guarantee.

Today I had had enough.  On this -40 degree day, I decided it was today I would get presentable.  I brought Axel into the bathroom with me and figured he would go for the usual under-the-sink trap.  He decided instead that toilet paper would make a nice snack!

He experimented for a while with spinning the roll, slapping the roll, but wound up unraveling and eating the TP. 

I was however ok with this because I was able to put on a full face of makeup and thought I looked pretty damn good!

I did spend the next while fishing ABC (already been chewed) TP out of his mouth...too dry to swallow no doubt.

It was totally worth it!

Hope you all had an eventful morning and are looking great as well!
