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?
