New sneakers/cancelled flight

Today we managed to actually get OUT of the friggin house today. It was a huge project because I had to shovel two tire paths down the driveway (anyone who has seem my driveway knows this is a huge task) while the girls are in the house. I put the baby in her jumperoo and prayed that cami didnt manage to break into the locked cabinets and drink drain-o. Then I brushed off the car and went inside to get coats and shoes on. Cami managed not to burn the house down...we get out to the van and try to get out of the driveway but managed to get stuck.  SO FRUSTRATING!! I had to get all the baby gear out of the van and move it to the Expo which required a shift in two carseats (one I had to go back into the house to retrieve), purse, diaper bag, and stroller. Now we are finally on our way to get me a new pair of sneakers and then on to McDonalds for lunch and some playtime for Cami. Nap time be damned! we are out and about for the first time in three days. I love my new kicks, hell I love any new kicks. My old ones were started to break down big time. I HATE McDonalds but there is really nothing else to do indoors around here. I didnt want to drive very far today so McD's it was. Behavior on Camis part was pretty good all day until dinner time. Then she turned on me and wound up in a total of a half hour worth of 3 minute time outs. When she finally went to bed, I thought it was done but as I sat on the couch nursing Lauren to sleep I heard her door open and shut. I was hoping she just went to the bathroom but when I got up to put L in the crib there was gum wrappers ont the floor in front of her door! What the Fuck!? She had gone into my room (a No-no) and opened a whole pack of gum. She unwrapped about five of them and after the beating she got last night one would think a lesson may have been learned. NOOOOO way not when you are 3 and a half and reallyyyyy spiteful. That little shit, I grabbed her and smacked her ass again but this time I took her out of her room and put her in another time out. Its been an hour and I havent heard a peep since then. She responds well to the timeouts/threat for a timeout but she pushes my limits really hard. She wants to see how far she can take me especially when Im busy with Lauren. Poor L, sometimes she gets tosses a hand ful of cheerios and waits for me to deal with C before I can feed her a real meal. Luckily L is so good natured.
To cap off a horrid 4 days without my baby and my husband, I found out a little bit ago that their flight was cancelled. There are at least 3 other flights that leave Indy tmrw morning so I am praying to God that they can get on one of those.
