Do you ever have those moments where you think "How did I get here?" I am not saying I don't love my family - I'm grateful for each of them but I am not a fan of mornings as any of my former roommates or family members can verify in case your in doubt. This morning the baby woke up I think before 5 can't really remember exactly so I'm a little cranky about that even before getting out of bed. Does he want to go back to sleep, no! Then we start our get ready for school routine, "What do you want for lunch?, Where is your lunch box? , ...if you have french toast for breakfast there isn't any bread left for lunch so I guess I better start another loaf in the bread maker, Please turn the baby another direction so he doesn't cry every time I come into view, I don't know where your brush is, Did you make your bed? I have to run three miles this morning but the baby is already tired , oops I think I just put a TBSp of salt in the bread mix instead of 1 tsp, yes you can wear those shoes, now how many cups of flour was that - oh well put in another one. Good bye daddy love you!, Finish your breakfast, yes I'm sure your just suppose to return the card with my signature not the whole bus rule book. Come on baby just finish your breakfast before you have a complete melt down! Then here comes the moment-----I reach up and finda glob of sticky, gooey honey or syrup in my hair ( I don't know which it could be either one!) How did that get there? Am I really THAT mom? I have to take her to school in a few minutes, the baby and I are still in our pjs and I have no time to clean the goo out of my hair so I am going to be THAT mom walking up to the school in my running clothes with my hair all gooey! And I drive a minivan! I am so not cool- I have got to get it more together. What does Scarlet O'Hara say "Tomorrow is another day!" or "As God as my witness I will never go to school gooey again!" something like that....

p.s. we were way off on Liz's predictions! but I'm glad.
he he, ha ha, roll on the floor laughing so hard - to both your morning and sweet Kimberly's comments. Anyway, our day hasn't been much better. Let's just say we are $500.00 lighter - all spent at the eye drs office! Liz
I knew someone would bring up those prophetic words!
Hahaha! I remember that conversation!! I don't know what to say, I can't stop laughing....
I hope this morning was at least a little better.
I remember those days, but then I also had myself to get ready for school. You were downstairs in the basement, the boys upstairs and the ONLY bathroom was upstairs and then that morning after the boys were ready and dressed and we were in Alaska, what does Brad do but scream at the top of his lungs on the porch very early in the morning because he was stuck to the neighbors pole doing something your Dad had warned you all about several times. Brad didn't talk or eat much for two weeks, but then he was always a boy of few words and now just mumbles.
PS maybe if you didn't get the salt and a tablespoon out you would get it right!
