Mama Seriously Needs a Time Out Today!

                    Today may have actually taken all of my energy already.. and currently it's only 11:05 am .so that is saying alot

I am not totally sure what exactly happened but I had planned on today being awesome because it was Kaitlin's official first day of Kindergarten with all of the other kindergartner's. 

I began my morning waking up half an hour late due to what possibly the worst dream I have ever had in my life. So I jumped out of bed only to find that my neck felt like it wasn't exactly attached..so that was fun. 

I was congested and sounded like I had a golf ball in my throat as I am trying to yell at the girls to get ready. 

In all my " pre planning" I hadn't actually picked out anyone's clothes the night before and since my two amazing girls have quite the opinion these days about what they wear I knew we were already headed for a fight. 

Kaitlin kept trying to get my attention and finally I looked at her and noticed her eye was puffy and 3 times the size it was the night before due to a stupid bug bite she got while  in Wal Mart. 

                 SIGH 

So I had to calm her down for about ten minuets convincing her that once we get her some medicine it will be better.

Yeah...that would have worked except we were completely out of Benadryl...

Fifteen Minuets later we managed to get to the kitchen where I prepared breakfast for THREE hungry girls..which is a task in case you haven't tried it. MOMS with more mouths to feed in the morning my hat is off to you! 

I am now running like a crazy woman trying to get in the shower because we have to stop at the store before school to get some more benadryl. 

I noticed that it just happens to be a very serious laundry day for me and I basically have nothing to wear except for "laundry day clothes" ...yay 

By the time I get out and get "ready" which is throwing some clothes on I notice its already 8:20..school starts at 9 am. 

So any thoughts of trying to apply makeup or run a brush through my sopping wet hair was out of the question. 

The girls finally got their teeth brushed ..I managed to wrestle some clothes on to Naomi ..couldn't find her shoes though..naturally. 

We manage to get out of the house by 8:40...

I threw a sweatshirt on to even out my odds at how ridiculous I looked..we run to walgreens,  and again I am getting two out of three kids out of car seats to run through the store to get one thing. Seriously WHY must every store have a member number that must be entered before paying..don't they know I don't have enough hands to spare to enter the number?!

We manage to get to the school its exactly 9 am. We are literally RUNNING across the lawn into school backpacks flying. Barefoot baby on my hip..I am sure I made some moms talk. 

I am clearly sweating by the time I get to the kindergarten gym.

My daughter is swept away with all the other kindergartner's I inform the teacher of Kaitlin's puffy eye predicament but re assure her that I gave her bendaryl..

Her teacher looked at me weird and said "well I sure hope she doesn't fall asleep"

SLAP HEAD HERE

Seriously? How could I not think about that. Oh well she only goes for like 2 hours how sleepy could she get right?

I am about ready to leave this nightmare and get home and get out of the OVEN that I was wearing..

BUT of course I was so late that I walked right into the "BOO Breakfast" which is a parental forum for kindergarten parents...

So I am sweaty in "laundry day clothes" have a shoe less baby on my hip and am now in front of several parents enjoying coffee..

SO of course they told me to please take a seat..and enjoy the next HALF HOUR forum..

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

No stroller ..Naomi had NO shoes...I had no Oxygen at this point....

But naturally I stayed..I didn't want to be "that mom" ...

Naomi managed to throw every single piece of fruit off of my plate and nearly spill my coffee but other than that the forum was actually quite helpful. 

That was my morning. 

The only good part of this whole thing 

 

was that the coffee they served was OFF THE CHART DELICIOUS .....but at this point I would say MAMA most definitely needs a time out.
