Do You Ever Have This Kind of Day?

Today I woke up and felt just exhausted but of course my house is a mess and my list of things to do is more like a book of things to do. I look outside hoping that we will finally get nice weather so Avery can go out and play....but it looks like more snow. That means another day of staying in our house.....which makes me a little crazy.

So I remember I have to go into town for an appointment an I don't have enough time to get ready so I just throw on some clothes and throw my hair back in a pony tail. Now here is the tricky part....I have to get Avery dressed...this is one of the hardest things for me because she refuses to wear anything I suggest and she will not wear her warm clothes because she thinks it is summer. So for 20 minutes and multiple meltdowns she finally has at least long pants on. But her hair looks like she stuck her finger in a light socket.....and she refuses to let me brush it. So finally I get the kids in the car and we are running late.

I go to the chiropractor and he works on my back and he puts this special cream on it....it smells like icy hot...but stronger.....so not only do I look awful....I now smell awful. So after the appointment I have to run to the store, little did I know that my pony tail has loosened and my hair looks crazy. So here I am running around the store in my ugly clothes ...not to mention my stench...with my crazy hair and crazy haired daughter...with her mismatched clothes... and to add to the stress she literally asked for everything in the store. I am pretty sure at one point when we were in the vegetable section she was asking to get Brussels sprouts...which confirms she has no idea what she is asking for.......and yeah for me when I got home I realized my zipper on my pants had been down the whole time. Not to mention the first thing Avery does when she gets home is spill red juice all over my kitchen floor....just to add to the mess I have to clean!!!!

I am sure everyone in town thought I was some crazy person....and that anyone with any self dignity would not go into public looking and smelling like I did. It is not even noon yet and I want to crawl back in bed and dream about the day when my life will not be so crazy!

Hahahahahahaha! Oh, what it REALLY means to be a mom...and I dunno what you're talking about, you're always gorgeous...even without your hair done! Remember, we were roomies, I've seen it...

Amie, I sympathize. Sadly, I don't have being a mom for an excuse. The other day I left my house and discovered I wasn't wearing my wedding ring. I HATE that! Disgusted, I looked in the rearview mirror. To my horror, I realized that wasn't the only thing I had forgotten: I got out of the shower and forgot to do everything else! OK, I got dressed. But, I completely spaced doing my hair and make-up. Strange. And then also, this was at Noon. I clearly was not in a time crunch. :). I have NO excuses... unless you count the part about not having a whole brain!
