I was fooled into thinking today would be a good day. Both kids slept all night in their OWN beds (a freaking miracle). But that was about the high so far!! I went downstairs after my shower (that did not include my 2 year old this morning, yippee) to iron my shirt. I was finishing up the last sleeve when I noticed some stain that did not come out in the wash on the sleeve (you know the LAST piece I was doing). Had to start over on another shirt (I hate to iron). Moving on to finish getting dressed and find a necklace. I found the one that I wanted (again yippee) only to find it tangled with every piece of jewelry imaginable (and some I did not even know I had) Great....................so after 5 minutes of trying to be calm and get it untangled...I just pulled really hard on the last few necklaces to get it free (never liked those ones anyway).
Katie was badgering me the whole time with some silly handout James and I got when we went to the Shark Reef in Vegas. "what is this fish?", "Is this a Shark?", "What is that?", "Where do these live?", "Is this a Jelly fish?", "Whey do they call them Jelly Fish?".....Seriously the cops should use her to interrogate suspects...I will admit to any crime in the world just to get her to STOP asking questions!!! Then Jr. comes in with a yogurt (where in the hell that came from?) and was desperately trying to get the lid off to eat it (already 10 minutes late at this point). I am screaming like an enraged orangutan at him to "Put the yogurt down" as I can vision in my head the unbelievable mess that will ensue if he does manage to get the lid off.
I grab him under one arm and the yogurt in the other hand and haul off out the door. I set him down by the car door to open it and.....he takes off running ( I swear this kid runs like Dash from the Incredibles) I drop everything (purse, keys, diaper bag, yogurt, coat) and take off after him. Nothing gets you going in the morning like sprinting across the lawn in heels after a 2 year old.
Late again to get Katie to school, but rest assured I received the speech the ENTIRE way "It's okay Mom, I don't blame you for making me late. I am used to it now!"
Nothing like a shot of adrenaline with a side of GUILT for breakfast......should have stayed in bed!
Happy Wednesday!
