1. Complete a school day. This is getting harder and harder to do this week. Cause nothing is going the way it is supposed to. Instead of my wonderful Christmas/school/adoption/life plan coming together like it is supposed to; it is all unraveling. Not a slow I might be able to catch up this afternoon unraveling, but a major unraveling where as I say around here, "Things might have gotten a little away from me" kind of thing.
2. Go get a certain child new tennis shoes. Doesn't matter that we just bought this child new shoes right before Thanksgiving. He/she has already lost one of those shoes. And we have searched high and low and everywhere in-between to find that shoe. And the current shoes the child is wearing has several holes in them and before we know it people will be buying him/her Christmas Shoes. I know we will find the lost shoe right after we come home with new shoes. Trust me. I know things.
3. Go purchase some food for these children. As my two oldest boys are eating us out of house and home. I sooooo need to buy big groceries and stock up, but if you will refer to #1 you will see things are unraveling around here and I haven't even made a list.
4. About 6:30 PM start going stark raving crazy as my husband has a church meeting tonight and will not be home until very very late. And did I mention I have a three year old who is trying to give up his nap, (which is my beacon of sanity) and by 6:3o he is either too hyper or too unreasonable for a momma who has missed her rest-time/downtime to deal with.
Thank you for letting me vent. Now I will go back to my regularly scheduled unraveling. Yesterday I left a comment on Jaime's blog about how I did not miss Mt Dew anymore. How I had overcome that particular addiction and how wonderful I felt now. Ha, ha, ha. I would give my eyetooth for one today.
***By the way, I got my fridge cleaned out. Yesterday Tyler opened it up and said, "What happened?" I said, "I cleaned it out." He looked at me blankly and said, "Where's the food?" I really need to get to the store.

ReplyDeletemy fridge still has friends growing in that mystery tupperware. i could pretty much copy your list, word for word today! except miss ava grew out of her thanksgiving shoes and is wearing some hand-me-downs from chloe....but they look like orthepedic old lady shoes. we bought them in a pinch out of town when we lost one of chloe's shoes. poor second child...not sure when we're going to replace them...
ReplyDeleteAwww, I wish I was there to go shoe shopping and make lists and go grocery shopping.... then I wouldn't have to deal with my own mess!
ReplyDeleteOkay, #1 I totally get. Getting braces on child #1 has a way of throwing a crowbar into the week, and add in all sorts of extra Christmas activities. I totally get this one. I am there with you!
ReplyDelete#2 I totally get the shoes. Yes, been there, going through that now with #2. The new shoe showing up right after you decide to buy new ones, yup, BTDT too--with #3 some months ago!
#3, yes, going through that with #2. Over it with #1, thankfully, though! As a matter of fact, I think she is on her new "I have braces and my teeth hurt" diet plan!
Your week is sounding like mine.
ReplyDeleteI think everyone goes through this around Christmastime...hopefully things will get back to some sort of normal in January!
