Today was just one of those days. I woke up early this morning to get Cannon to his 8:30 T-Ball game. I woke up at 7:00 and looked outside to find a dusting of snow on the ground. Unable to go back to sleep because of my busy day, I slowly began my day. I rushed to get myself a shower, my kids feed, Crew feed and bathed, wrote my RS agenda, and got to work making a salad for a RS luncheon. Well, by the time 10:30 rolled around, I was just worn out. Probably because I didn't get much sleep the night before. I was able to attend my RS meeting and luncheon and came home and put Crew down for a nap. No, my older two boys were not ready to slow down at all. They of course had to invite a friend over to play. I did catch a 15 minute cat nap while they were happy playing down stairs. Then they woke me up with whines of being hungry. I poured some cereal and about 30 minutes later the entire bowl of cereal and milk was all over the kitchen floor. I got the milk wiped up with paper towels, but the floor was so sticky I had to vacuum and mop the entire floor. I had finally finished that chore and low and behold I walk into the kitchen to find Colton and Cannon on the counter looking into the microwave. I asked what they were microwaving and they said, "An otterpop, we wanted to drink the juice." I immediately stopped the microwave and the otterpop had exploded and just by opening the microwave, sticky juice was pouring out of my microwave slowly dripping down my kitchen cabinets. I managed to get this mess cleaned up too. I was really proud of myself because I really didn't get mad or yell, but it was hard not to. Then Crew woke up from his nap and was coughing a lot and not feeling well. Well the boys are finally down for the night and I am laying in bed. Thank goodness I can go to sleep and wake up to a whole new day tomorrow.

Spilled Milk...

Is that all you did yesterday? Ha ha!! Good job on the not yelling, how hard that must of been. I also love going to bed on days like that in hopes that the next day will refresh itself without the "spilled milk"
You are the best mom....wishing you were back on vacation yet???
Wow, you are much more patient that I am! Good job for not yelling at the boys!
8:30 is way too early for a T-ball game. Whoever made that schedule must not be a parent! You are awesome!
Hopefully you can get a good nights rest in tonight. The otterpop story is actually very cute with them thinking to melt it. Here's to a great day tomorrow with no "spilled milk" or otterpop explosions!!
Classic "day in the life of Mom", especially with boys..... what will they come up with next?
I was just dying here in ID reading about your CA trip........ you didn't miss a thing here- just cold temps & wind- welcome back!
classic "mom" day-- it's hard, isn't it?
nothing makes me crankier than my floors getting messy! So I must be cranky a lot?! :OP
