Captains Log - Day 456,008,967 ( I think)
Y'all - it.was.a.day. That whole pride goes before a fall thing....well the fall started somewhere around 4.30 this morning and just.kept.going. I thought yesterday went fairly well and had just started thinking "okay, this is going to be okay." I'm laughing because if I don't the tears won't stop! Let's see if I can summarize 7:45 a.m-8:45 a.m.
- Meltdown from Anna because her leprechaun trap didn't capture evidence of said leprechuan
- Tears from D because the straw in his milk was bent funny and his sister ate the last chocolate chip muffin
-Bath #1 for Jamesey
-Clean up spilled milk for D because he was just going to drink without the straw because the bend was making it hard to drink
-Hear water running and sprint up the steps to find the bathroom sink overflowing and Jamesey splashing in the overflowing sink happy as a clam having plugged said sink and independently turned the water on.
-Clean up water and help settle J in the tub.
-Settle myself and extra-large coffee on the floor in the hallway outside the bathroom so I can keep an eye on J and also on Anna and D.
- Minutes later Jamesey "the streak" Ellis goes tearing past giggling to jump onto the bed dripping wet and upsetting 4 baskets of laundry that I was going to fold.
- Wrangle pants halfway onto said kiddo when Anna comes tearing into the room announcing that she thinks she's going to throw up.
- Proceeds to vomit down the hallway while D stands at foot of stairs and yells "Mom, Anna doesn't feel good."
-Clean Anna up, dry tears, reassure her that it's not corona - clean hallway up, finish dressing Jamesey, pick up laundry, step on Lego followed by a Hatchimal.
-Settle the rascals into various areas of the house, reheat coffee and sit down to finish my coffee.
- Spill said coffee when a scream echos from nearby. Miss the fact that it's an elated screech and Anna comes running into the room to announce that there are new episodes of Boss Baby on Netflix (face-palm). Is it nap-time yet?? Nope - it's only 8:45 a.m.
Somehow, the next few hours pass and we made shamrock sugar cookies, played outside for 2.5 seconds before people decided to head inside, baths 2-5 for Jamesey, lunch, reading and finally naps! Glorious naps and bath number 6 for J - cue stage whisper from Anna that she couldn't sleep and was wiggling her loose tooth and it fell out and would I please find a safe place for the tooth because the tooth fairy needed to visit tonight. Oh.mercy.
Seriously friends. It.was.a.day. But, I think tomorrow will be better. Sweet merciful heavens it needs to be better.
