Did You Ever Have One Of Those Days
where you try to be Snow White and sing and trill with joy and help your children get ready for school and make a delicious breakfast for everyone and even add a Hershey Kiss in the children's lunch boxes just because you love them and then the dog barfs on the floor and you don't have time for a shower and one child remembers at the very last second she forgot to do her math homework and is convinced her teacher will never forgive her for it (so not true) so she is wailing in panic and trying to do it in the car and the youngest announces halfway to school that he "didn't put on his seat belt" so you pull over and yell (yes, yell) to "Get buckled!" and then the oldest asks to go to the skateboard park and could I please remember to pack his skateboard, helmet, knee pads, elbow pads, gloves in the car and can we please, please, please invite 700 of his best friends to come along and then you remember you didn't eat breakfast so you go back home and pour a bowl of cereal all over the counter because one of the kids is collecting Box Tops for school and there are holes cut in all the cereal boxes...

Did you? 'Cause I just did.

Not yet I haven't... but I'm sure it's right around the corner ;-)

Ahhhhh...so that's what I've been waiting for. All this is just warm ups for the big leagues. Oh God, help me now!!!

We have all done it. At least no dislocation of the shoulder while "blind" swinging at the children in the back seat.

I guess the Vikings game was fun for you.

Being that I don't yet have 3 kids, I have yet to experience a morning like this....but it sounds to me like you are kept on your toes to say the very least!

Ahhh...I feel so much better knowing I am not the only one. Though I am sure you held it together much longer than I did today.
