So here is my day in a nutshell.....from the VERY beginning.
12:00 AM - 2:00 AM: I am up basically every 10 minutes with 2 sick, snotty, stuffy children. Or I am flipping the other one over because he can only roll one way, and it isn't the way he likes to sleep.
3:00 AM: Get up to feed baby who has been flipped over again, but isn't going back to sleep this time.
3:45 AM: Check on crying Georgia who has a sore throat. Give her some water, lie her down, and tell her to go back to sleep.
6:00 AM: Flip over above mentioned baby.....AGAIN!
7:00 AM: Get up because Georgia and Noah are awake. And still snotty.
8:30 AM: After feeding 3 children, sit down to eat my own bowl of cereal. Discover it is mushy. Decide I should never pour milk into the bowl when I think I am going to eat. I should wait until I actually sit down at the table and no one is crying or fighting.......but I might never eat again if that is the case.
10:10 AM: Arrive at the dentist 5 minutes EARLY (never happens!) to get a cavity filled. Wait for 20 minutes. Have an x-ray of another tooth and find out I need to have a root canal. LOVELY! Then I have to try to rinse out my mouth while I only have feeling in half of my face. Mouthwash dribbles all over.
1:30 PM: Novacaine has finally worn off and I can eat and drink without fear of eating my lip or spilling my water.
2:30 PM: Go get my haircut....the highlight of my day. Really, it was.
4:30 PM: The sitter leaves.
4:31 PM: The kids go cuckoo for cocoa nuts! Mommy's cranky pants are on, and we are in for a rough time.
5:30 - 6:00 PM: Repeatedly tell kids to start cleaning up, they say okay, and don't do anything but take out more toys. Eventually yell and start taking away bedtime stories. (I know, I am a mean, mean person.)
6:30 PM: Try to give the baby a bath with 2 naked children running around the house.
6:35 PM: Discover that non-potty trained son has pooped on the floor. YAY!
6:40 PM: Get soaked by washcloth that Georgia has flung out of the bathtub.......time for speed bathing. Lose my mind, and my temper.
7:25 PM: Pour myself a glass of wine, make some dinner and try to relax.
Anyone want to trade places?

Yeah...some days are just like that! Glad u were able to pour some wine and relax at the end of it....much better than soggy cereal!
ReplyDeleteNot to give you one more thing to do....but be sure to keep an eye on your new roller to make sure he can roll both ways...or have your doctor check it out.
Hope they're all feeling better soon & you can get some rest!
