Is anyone else having one of those mornings?
It started at 7:50 with Ally crying. "The tooth fairy didn't come!" Shit! I'm terrible at this tooth fairy thing. I need more planning time. One day is not enough for me to be ready for overnight gift giving. Or in this case a couple of hours because the tooth came out at dinner time. I'm a really awesome Santa Claus, Easter Bunny, and St. Nick (he's the shoes on Dec 6th. Or is it the 5th?). So being the quick thinker that I am (ha! not really), I sent her to the bathroom to go potty while I distracted Emily (still in the room) and slipped a dollar into Ally's pillowcase. Genius, n'est pas? Tooth fairy duties fulfilled, I went back to bed. hehe
Where Kyle and Kelly were bouncing. Okay whatever, I won't get two nanoseconds more of sleep. Then the phone rang. Which I left downstairs. Ally was cheering about her dollar from the tooth fairy as I stumbled down to grab the phone. The furnace inspection guy is on his way! At 8am. I was told 9-11. Uh, no can do, dropping the kids off at school at 8:30. She said she'd take care of it.
Breakfast! The kids ran over me to get to the kitchen. And then I saw it. "Wednesday One Hour Delay" written on the chalk board. Checked with Zach. Yes, today is Wednesday. Called furnace company back. She said he'll still be on his way then, probably 8:40.
As I was pouring breakfast Kelly decided to make the stinkest diaper ever. Why does she do this when we are sitting down for a meal? The kids went to the toy room while I changed her (I don't blame them!). Finally the kids ate after a long discussion on which is better, Kix or Frosted Flakes (sugar won out over "Mother Approved").
After breakfast (Kelly only spilt her milk once) I sent the kids upstairs to get dressed and was heading up that way for myself when the doorbell rang. At 8:20. That was the shortest 40 minutes ever.
So I'm thinking the day can only get better from here. Course I do have this small problem of my number keypad and delete/insert/end/blah/blah/blah keys sticking because I uh, spilt Mountain Dew on my keyboard yesterday. Oh and Q is sticking too. Which makes absolutely no sense because it's on the complete opposite end of the keyboard from where I spilt the Mountain Dew. But with the way this morning is going, it probably makes perfect sense in some weird alternate universe. *bangs head on desk*
