This morning was one of THOSE mornings where I got out of bed to the sound of two kids whining and I thought to myself *Thank God its Friday because its going to be one of THOSE days*. Then, after walking thru the house with that "Where do I start?" look on my face I realized, *Oh CRAP, its only Tuesday!* And in that moment I knew it was for sure going to be one of THOSE days!!
* Mothers out there I'm sure you know exactly what I'm talking about, right?*
Connor was in a 'whiney, "I'm not going to school", throwing a fit, hitting his sister' kind of mood. When our days start out this way at The Parr house, I close my eyes and smile because if I did what I really wanted to do (fall down on the floor and throw a fit too) I know I would look absolutely ridiculous and I might scare the kids. I decided maybe its a good thing Connor doesn't want to go to school today because we only have 10 minutes to get dressed and be there, which is next to impossible when Connor needs to lay on the floor and twitch for about 30 minutes before he starts his day...
As if our day ALREADY wasn't crazy enough, I decided we need to go to the grocery store! Everyone was dressed, diaper bag was packed, Connor was finished twitching, and out the door we went. Then, I realized MY KEYS WERE LOCKED IN MY CAR!!! Dear God, really!?!
Why is it that EVERY TIME the kids and I go to the commissary Connor pees or poops (yes, poops-- that's another story for another day) in his pants???? Seriously, it never fails BUT this time I was prepared-- we went to the potty as soon as we got there, YES, mission accomplished!!! No accident today... yet...
I was in the shoe department looking/ trying on some new shoes-- about to buy MYSELF something when Connor looks at me and says, "Mommy, I need to poop!" Seriously, SON, you've got to be kidding me... So we made our way to the bathroom for the 2nd time (hey- at least we didn't have an accident, right) *I say "we" like I'm the one having accidents too I've been a mommy way to long.* Shoe shopping will have to come another day!!
On to the grocery store, where I start to annoy myself saying, "Connor, no!", "Connor, get back here!" "Connor, we don't need cookies!", "Ansley , sit down in the seat!", "Connor, fine take the cookies!" Finally, we get back to the car and head HOME!! Both kids whine and cry for the first 15 minutes of the car ride. Then, silence!!! =)
I pull in the drive-way and look in the back-seat and see two of the most precious kids with their heads leaned on each other sleeping.
And I smile!!
