One Classic Day!

Today we kind of packed it in. We started with Molly's preschool and I had such a hard time getting out of bed. You know it's funny because with Stella I would get maybe 3-4 hours of sleep every night (really, no exaggeration at least 5 nights out of the week)...I do get a little more sleep than that these days, but I'm sill getting up 2-3 times a night with my kids 15 months later. I just don't think I'm ever going to sleep again.... REALLY! I think that there are times it just really starts to catch up to me and this morning was one of those mornings. I had a hard time rolling out of bed and woke up to Molly in my bed with me and all of the lights on... now how do I sleep though that and not their crying at night, go figure! So I got up and got Molly dressed, fed and ready for the day. Then we were off to drop Molly off to preschool. Stella and I came home and finished folding the laundry that Kris had done last night while I was at young women and then put that away, made beds, fed & dressed Stella, and did a quick pick up of the house. Then put Stella in the stroller and walked to Molly's preschool to pick her up. We got home and didn't really have a whole lot of time, because we had swimming make up lesson. I fed the girls and then we were out the door to swimming. Molly did great and then I had to run to the grocery store to grab some food for dinner. Yes still haven't showered, but I did work out, it was work out or shower, but I don't have the luxury of doing both so yes I totally looked scary and Molly still in her swim suit and cover up wet hair and Stella in serous need of a nap. We are on the first aisle and Molly tells me she has to go potty. I told her we were going to be sooooo fast and just to wait. So we are cruising and then Molly said..."I just am going to pee!" in her distressed little voice so we rushed to find the bathroom with our full cart and then after we were done I had picked up Stella to put her back in our parked cart and had accidentally hit Molly in the head with Stellas shoe. Some helpful employee decided to bring this to my attention which only made things worse for Molly. Being tired and then having some strange guy point out that she just got smacked in the head didn't help... Really it wasn't that hard. So after a short time of comforting and then the shake it off talk we went on our way to finish shopping. Stella screaming at the top of her lungs the whole way because I wouldn't let her play with the bread. People are looking at me and how hammered I look and how hammered my kids look and wondering what kind of mom I am that I can't control my kids and have totally let myself go... Oh I'm sure it was quite a sight. So we were seriously 3 min for home and both girls fell asleep on the way home... if that says anything to their state of mind. We get home I grab some groceries and head for the back door......... Which is wide open! AWESOME! Molly was the last one out and I didn't even check! The best part about this, our garbage can is right by the back door and so we have a swarm of flies in the house. The only thing that scares Molly more than dogs, ghosts, the wild goose (that's a whole different story) are flies! So now she won't use the bathroom because there is a fly in there that wont stay in the bathtub. So funny! You know I got all of the food put away and had to just laugh or cry! So I opted for a good laugh! Seriously! And now it's 5 and my girls have been asleep since we got home at 4 so I should probably get them up or they will not sleep at 7! We can just hope for a better day tomorrow.... or at least a shower:)

Sorry but this made me laugh (only because I have those days way to often). Keep up the good work. When I see moms like that in the store i want to gove them chocolate and a hug and tell them to keep up the good work. Anyone who is a mom understands.

You are so funny! I'm actually glad to hear that someone else has days like that - it seems like I am always having "crazy days" and feel like I am the only one ready to lose it!! Thanks for the laugh - let's go to lunch!!

Natalie said...

Yes... at least a shower... but don't count on it! We have weeks like that!

Oh, don't worry Linds, they probablly all mistook you for ME!

All I can say is you are not alone! I have those types of days all the time. And the fly thing...I can totally relate! We have to hand an ugly sticky fly catcher in our house to catch all of the flies that we get. The thing is covered and looks nasty!

Thanks for your comment on my blog. I totally didn't even see it that way...that maybe the flat tires happened because that old man needed someone to talk to. Thanks for helping me think of it that way. You're awesome!

I have those days a lot. I LOVE your family picture...DARLING. You have such a cute family Linds.

Natalie said...

Hey Linds... Hope today wasn't one of those "classic" days!
Just wondering if you'd email me that link to your cute skirts you made your girls and explain the hair clips to me again?! You are so talented!
