Because somedays it never ends...

Do you remember the song 9 - 5 by Dolly Parton?  She talks about how she wakes up in the morning and is go go go until she gets to finally fall asleep at night....I am that song today...

6AM wake-up with Austin who has a fever of 102 (again).  Figure out who gets to go to work today and who is staying home with him.. (Jim works 7-12, I work 1-8).  Jim leaves, Austin proceeds to scream for about 45 minutes.  I do everything I can to keep him quiet so that the girls will keep sleeping, issue is resolved by warming Mac and Cheese from yesterday.

8AM  All kids are awake and demanding different breakfasts.  Cold Cereal all around.  Today is not an eggs and sausage kind of morning.

8:15AM  Realize that the dog did not make the night without an accident, and that it has snaked its way throughout the grout in the kitchen, making a huge nasty mess.  Attempt to clean while Austin screams (again).

8:45AM  Nana arrives.  Amen.

9:45AM  Nana notices the toast still in the toaster that I had made 2 hours ago for myself.  I guess I forgot to eat.***

10:15AM  Nana and the girls are off to the library and McDonald's playland.  Amen, again.

10:45AM.  Austin takes his blanket and lays down on the floor, butt-in-air style.  This signals that he is ready for a nap.  Place in crib, manage to step on or knock into every toy as I try and sneak out of his room.  Doesn't that always happen.

11AM  Load of laundry in, dishes going in the dishwasher, time to watch America's Next Top Model.  Save your comments about this...it's my one guilty pleasure.

11:45AM  Austin is awake again, screaming, and I am counting the minutes until Jim gets home.  Also thankful that he has a 4:30 doctor's appointment today.  Pretty sure he has another ear infection.

12:25  Husband still not home, I am still not showered, and I am now not going to be at work by 1PM.  Trying to figure out where I can add hours into next week to make up time.

1PM Finally showered, dressed, and out the door.  Forgot deodorant, which will drive me crazy ALL day.

4:00PM  Decided that I needed a break after 2 1/2 hours of work, so now I am blogging.  I get to leave work at 8PM, hurry home to try and read a story to the girls before they go to sleep, and then start teaching...for at least 2 hours.  Sometime between all this, I HAVE to catch the episode of Grey's...

Bonus...the girls are on Spring Break all week and tomorrow is my day to stay at home!  Art Projects straight ahead!  The Sushi tomorrow night and Melting Pot on Saturday....reward for a week well worked.



***  I never forget to eat.  I mean NEVER.  I make fun of people who say they forget to eat.  If I had a choice between eating and just about anything else, I would eat.  It was just that bad this morning....
