Today I am grateful I made it through my day! I am also grateful the day is over and the kids are in bed!
I had to be at Noah's school early to help with carpool this morning. After getting out of bed I remembered I didn't make my meals for my meal group opps. They were due today at 2:00. I did Noah's carpool and then called to arrange Lara's carpool except I couldn't get a hold of Lara so I had to drive all the way back home, pick up Lara and take her to Jennifers house. Then I headed over to Dicks Grocery Store. I needed to get some things to make my meals. Luke and Isaac were both still in their jammies. They wanted to ride in the car cart (hate those things) so I caved and let them. (feeling a bit bad about dragging them out in their jammies). Luke proceeded to get in and out at least 25 times making my 15 minute shopping trip into a 30 minute trip.
Question: why is the tomato paste and sauce not by the tomatoes??
I bought the boys a donut and then we headed to the car. Isaac ate his donut but Luke, well he is Luke so he got mad that his donut got frosting on his hand and he chucked the donut on the floor of the car. Then he started crying because he wanted his donut he had just thrown. I headed to the bank listening to Luke screaming about his donut the whole way. At the bank I got my wipes and wiped him down and handed him his donut. As I was getting him out of the car my arm felt a little wet, yes, his diaper was really full (brilliant me didn't change him before we left). He had left a wet spot on me and his car seat. He was still kind of crying and got more frosting on him and as we were going in the bank he starting screaming again. I walked back to the car, got some more wipes, cleaned him up, but he had chucked the donut again and when I picked it up it had dirt and hair on it so I threw it away. Man oh man did I pay for that... he screamed the whole time I was in the bank (all the old people giving me crusties, you get the picture). We got our money and headed for the car. Then we had to go to the other bank to deposit the money we had just taken out of the other bank. (don't ask) The crying had stopped by then so I was feeling slightly less stressed out. I made my deposit and gave them their 2nd sucker for the day (it was only 9:30). The stick fell off Lukes sucker and he got mad and started crying yet again and spit his sucker on me and all over his jammies. So now I had pee, sucker, and donut all over me. Not to mention I hadn't showered or done my hair or make up for the day. I got home and started cooking, I had to make 10 six person meals and have them bagged and ready to go by 2. It was about 10:20 by then. My sister calls just as I am putting Luke in timeout because he is climbing on the table screaming at Isaac and throwing Legos everywhere. I didn't know who it was for a minute and she asks me if I am still meeting them (my mom and sister) for lunch. I had forgotten about our lunch date scheduled for 11:30 that day. At this point it is 10:20, which means I have to leave in 10 minutes to make it on time, I haven't showered and food is cooking on my stove. I tell her I will meet them but it will have to be a little bit later. I cook the food, get the cheese and sour cream in baggies, then run and shower. I stick the food in the fridge to cool while I am gone and we are off wet hair and all. (I did manage to get some eye make up on...)We meet them for lunch at Chuck A Rama. My kids eat their mac and cheese in about 10 minutes and then proceed to climb all over the bench and tell me every 2 minutes they are ready to go home. I manage to chat with my mom and sis. I decide I'd better see what time it is and wouldn't you know it, it is 1:45. I am in Orem and need to have my meals ready and delivered at 2:00. Yeah right.
I race home, get my meals bagged and then have to deliver them to everyone at home because I have missed the drop off. I was short 3 meals so I had to make another batch, plus pick up car pool and get Noah to scouts. I managed to get everyone fed and bathed and in bed at 7:30 (I turned the clocks ahead because it is just that kind of day hee hee) Noah then comes out and tells me he has homework. AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! We proceed to do homework until 8:30 and now FINALLY everyone is in bed asleep. I am tired. I realize most of today was caused by me, lack of planning, stupidy, whatever......I am still tired.
Hopefully tomorrow is better.......

Oh man, what a day. I can't believe you managed to pack all those things into one day. You need a break. You should have let me watch your boys this morning. My boys woke me up early, so it wouldn't have been an inconvenience at all. Next time, maybe! :)
Wow, sounds like a fun day. Good thing all days are like that or we would all have breakdowns. Hopefully, today has gone better. I wouldn't worry about what others were thinking when Luke was throwing his tantrum. My mom always says that other people are probably looking at you and thinking "I remember those days." Every parent has kids that act terribly out in public from time to time. But, I feel your pain... Cole can be a real pill, Makenna will scream at the top of her lungs if she trips in a store which strangely happens more than you think it would. Now that is when people stare...
Wow! I am exhausted just reading about your day! I hope tomorrow is better! :)
You are an amazing Mom! I can't believe you managed to get all that done in 1 day!
Oh my gosh!! I just love those kind of days! What is the dinner thing you do? I think we all have days like this way too often!! At least you blog about it so we can all have a good laugh! Get some rest! :)
How did you do all that in 1 day? There really isn't enough time. You are a wonder women!
