Monday's stink sometimes. I don't mean for this to be a negative post, but today has been a big fat stinker of a day. My morning started at 6:45 like this...(Me)Wake up, it's time to get ready for school.
(Sophia crying)But Mom, I didn't sleep all night long! I was just getting ready to close my eyes when you woke me up!
(Me)You don't have a fever and you look healthy to me. Get up RIGHT NOW! Oh, and I love you.
That was the short version of our conversation.
With all the whining Ivy woke up, so we set off downstairs to make breakfast and lunches. Ivy must have thought that whining sounded like a great idea, so while I was making breakfast she attatched herself to my leg while she continuously chanted, HOLD ME! HOLD ME!HOLD ME! I managed to finish making breakfast with Ivy hanging on my hip. It was easier to multi task with her when she was smaller. Finally Rylie and Sophia made their way downstairs with 10 minutes to spare and started on their breakfast. Before Sophia's chocolate milk even touched her lips the cup tipped over and yep, you guessed it. Chocolate milk all over her, the table and the floor. No more white, sparkly shorts for Sophia. I didn't want to yell, so I just threw my arms up in the air and told Sophia to hurry and go upstairs and change. She cried. I cleaned up the mess. By the time the mess was cleaned up we were all calm, but time had run out to make lunches. Just take hot lunch today! The girls were happy as long it didn't ruin their chances of taking hot lunch on Thursday(they can usually only pick one day a week to take it). Poor Sophia had the hardest morning. By the time she left for school all was well. Now off to the laundry room. As I was taking out the load from the dryer something hard smacked into my upper lip. Stupid dryer ball! A pair of pajama bottoms had frayed on the bottom and the strings had wound themselved all around the dryer ball, so when I went to pull the clothes out of the dryer it created a sling shot motion. Dryer balls are supposed to make my clothes fluffy, not give me a fat lip. Whatever. I decided to free the dryer ball, but I was mad at the pants so they were tossed into the garbage. Dumb cheap pajama pants! Now the phone rings and this is what I hear.
(Matt) Honey, do you love me?
(Me)Yes, I love you. What did you do?
(Matt)I lost my wedding ring. I let Eli play with it at church yesterday and I forgot about it. I don't know where it is.
(Me) Eli, do you know where daddy's ring is?
Miraculously Eli had kept it safe during the last two hours of church and managed to get it home and put safely in his room. Hooray! What an awesome 5 year old! This day might not be so bad.
Phone rings again.
(Sandy at Errol Hassell)Hi, I have Sophia hear saying she doesn't feel well and I found evidence of head lice.
(Me) You are kidding! Right?
(Sandy) No, Tonya I wouldn't kid about that.
(Me) I'll be right there!
So off I went to pick up Sophia from school. Had the school do a lice check on Rylie. Yay! She is o.k., but I will treat her regardless. I will do a precautionary treatment on everyone. YUCK! What evil little critters. I wonder if there will be a full moon tonight. Aren't weird things supposed to happen on full moon days and nights? This is definately a weird day. So, that's been my manic Monday so far and it's only 3:50. I will stay positive. Family is a blessing. Life could be much worse. That's the end of my rant for now. So, how was your day?
