One of those Days




Well everyone has them as much as we all wish we didn't but we do. I started my morning as any typical Thursday morning. Kids woke up cooked breakfast.. pancakes, sausage and eggs. I at a few nibbles they ate a lot. Then we did some laundry, unloaded and loaded the dishwasher, cleaned the playroom, cleaned the rest of the basement and vacuumed. The I got both kids ready, the diaper bag packed, Landon's lunch packed, myself dressed, the dog put away and we headed to the car right on time for Hayden's 3 year well child check, Landon's second flu shot, followed by lunch, a trip to Target or Walmart and then for Hayden's haircut at 4 but didn't get past our garage. You see as I was loading the kids up I notice Landon's car seat is missing. Turns out it was in Jeff's truck so we weren't going anywhere. Called and canceled the appointments (for the second time)and instead came in to cook us lunches of grilled cheese sandwiches, pickles and pears. I again at a few nibbles, they ate alot. Then went to put Landon and Hayden down for naps (or rests as we call them at our house) only to have Landon fall fast asleep but poor Hayden layed in his room for an hour and half and finally walked into my room where I was pretending to sleep in hopes he would fall asleep. "mommy I can't sweep, I have too much energy" Bless his heart. I told him it was okay and he could go play in his room with his sticker book and read his library books or he could climb in bed with me. He choose the later and climbed in. I told him as soon as Landon woke up we all could get up and go play outside. I start to drift off when he plants a big wet unsuspecting kiss right on my lips, I smiled and thanked him politely then drifted off again to be awoken then same way except this time he is patting my face in addition to the kiss. So much for sleep but at least it brought a smile. He is so tender hearted. About 15 minutes later Landon is wailing and I go to get home and find that after two hours of resting Hayden finally went to sleep. He slept for about an hour. We then cooked some spaghetti and meatballs again (I am addicted) and this time I ate a LOT and they ate a little but before we ate we played outside on this gorgeous unseasonably warm November day. So although we didn't accomplish what we sat out to do and the dog peed on a bag full of clothes Hayden got for his birthday, the deep freeze had been left wide open for two days and our refrigerator might be acting up again and I burnt the spaghetti sauce it was a not so good day turned great!
