I wake up at
5:30 get ready to work out with a friend. Sit on the couch and wait for her to pick me up. Look at the clock 6:30am-did I
fall asleep and miss her or did she not wake up? Either way it's too late to go now- Ant has to leave for work. Lay down on the couch to get a few more minutes of
sleep. Wake up 10 minutes later with a
dog and child trying to squeeze on the couch with me.
Sigh. Not enough room for all us might us well get up. Start to eat some cereal with Tabitha. She gets
thirsty. Get up to get her a drink. Hear yelling in the bathroom. Emma somehow
locked herself in the bathroom. Go remind my child how to
unlock a door. Forgot to give Tabitha her water and hear all about it. Get her water. Then pour cereal for Emma. Tabitha starts
complaining how something
stinks. Makes me remember I need to take out the trash. Go to take out trash-then
Emma starts crying because
Tabitha hurt her feelings - apparently she is the
one that stinks. Forget about the garbage to calm girls down. Then I remember my cereal.
Too Soggy to eat. Sigh. Now what to eat? Take it into the kitchen to put in the sink. See
chocolate cake from last night. Cut a piece. Eat it quick so I don't have two more people eating
cake for breakfast. See the dirty dishes from last night.
Start to put them in the dishwasher. Before I can finish
Emma comes by telling me the dog is eating my
underwear. Go
save my underwear. It reminds me I need to start some laundry. Open the
washing machine. There is clothes already in there.
How long has that been sitting there? Maybe that is what
Tabitha was smelling.
Rewash clothes in the washer. Smell
reminds me of the garbage. Go to take the garbage out. The girls start arguing about which
cartoon to watch. Forget about the garbage. Go help them
compromise. Decide I need some
peace so go and take a shower for
20 minutes. Go back to finish the dishes. Emma tells me the
dog is stuck. Find dog stuck in between the
bars on the
futon. How did he do that!?
Save dog. Make sure he can walk okay. Dog looks good.
What was I doing? Oh yea dishes. The phone rings. Talk to a friend for awhile. Remember I need to
grocery shop. Tell girls to get dressed so we can grocery shop. While they dress remember I need to make invites for a
baby shower. Go online to get ideas. Girls start to
argue again. I Ignore the yelling-
it will stop. Nope-I think someone just threw something at someone. Go to
intervene. Calm everyone down again and realize it is pretty much
lunch time. Feed everyone. Realize I never finished the
dishes. Go to wash dishes. Knock at the door. Stop to answer the door. Two cute kids in the neighborhood are trying to raise money to go to the local fair.
The fair is going on!? When and where?
Google about the Benton County fair. Phone rings. Talk to mom for awhile. Kids are getting whiny because I haven't played with them.
Play go fish for awhile. Remember I need to water the
garden. Go outside and turn the water on. Push
Tabitha and Emma on the swings for awhile. Remember I still need to get Emma her school supplies. Go inside to get the
list. Get the girls in the car. Drive to
Target. Get there and realized I
forgot the list. Try to remember what it said. Get what I can
remember. Come home and realize I still need
3 things.
Sigh. I guess I'll try again tomorrow.
Phone rings. Talk to sis in law for a little bit.
Oops!!! I forgot to turn the water off of the
tomatoes! Go to turn the water off. Step in dog pee on my way out.
Dog peed in the house! Forget about water. Go to clean up pee only after
Emma stepped in it too. Turn on afternoon
cartoons so everyone can just chill. Sit down to watch for a minute and remember the water
again. Run to turn it off. Decide it is time to start dinner. Was going to make a chicken dish but realize I
don't have all the ingredients like I thought I did.
Now what? I never went grocery shopping. Find hot dogs in fridge and some
leftovers. Warm up some chili with the rest of food.
Ant comes home. We eat. I eat a
whole chili dog while he eats leftovers. Then Ant decides he wants a hot dog. He takes a bite and
spits it out
gaging. What's wrong with the hot dog? Apparently they have been in the fridge for like a
month. I take a bite of one of the girls-yep it sure is
DISGUSTING!!! Anthony goes to puke while I take away the girl's hot dogs before they get
sick too. I find them cereal instead.
Realization sets in that I ate a whole hot dog not knowing it was
rotten because of the all the chili it was
lathered in. Start worrying that I gave myself food poison. Decide it is okay to be bulimic for just
one day in my life.
Sit in the bathroom for
20 minutes trying to convince myself it is for the best.
Unable to convince myself. I guess I will just take whatever comes.
Maybe I won't get sick. Go sit on the couch. Decide that I am
through with my day.
I wake up the next morning only to dirty dishes still in the sink, laundry still in washing machine, and trash needing to be taken out. I still need groceries, school supplies and last but not least my sanity.
