What a day!

Today is Monday. It's one of those Mondays that everyone gets eventually and it's the type of day people dread having. One of those days where I just wanted to crawl into bed and not come out. It started off great! The kids got up, got ready to go without to many issues - having done their bedtime routines helped a lot.

Then my daycare day began. The toaster wouldn't work, so I had to scratch what I had planned for breakfast and just do cold cereal...which really isn't that bad for them, just not on my menu plan. I couldn't get the vacuum belt on the vacuum, so it will not work. Miss O & Cyril thought it was awesome to watch me roll up the rug, shake it outside, get on my hands and knees to pick up the floor. :) Not really fun when you have a basketball attached to you. lol.

Baby E(11months old) was very crabby today, I don't blame the little guy because he's cutting all four eye-teeth, and at least 3 of them have blood blisters on them. :( So of course he doesn't want to eat or drink anything. Miss O & Cyril where kind of at odds today, part of me secretly cheered Miss O on because she needs to get more spunk and stand up to the other kids more. Mr. J & Mr. C came right around lunch time. All the kids got to play outside for longer then planned because some transformer blew which caused the power to go out...right at the time that I was starting to cook lunch. UGH! But Xcel was right on top of things, and got to it pretty quickly and we had lunch about an hour later.

Three out of the 5 kiddos take naps these day. Mr. J & Cyril are at that stage where it's better for them to not take naps...but some days like today it probably would have been a good idea. ;)

The two of them caused sooo much mischief during quiet time, I would have sworn there more then 2 of them. They destroyed the sensory table. All the rice is every where in the dining room, the play-doh is every where. And when one of the boys went off to the bathroom, the other followed. Next thing I know on my way to check on them I hear giggles. One of them (probably my Cyril) stuck play-doh down the sink. Thankfully I fixed that. Both boys had lots of time outs this afternoon. Mr. J told me he forgot his listening ears at home. Cyril said his were sleeping.

Then I caught Cyril trying to go to the bathroom outside AGAIN, but on the grass. He couldn't understand why he started to get into trouble...cause he wasn't going on the deck. SO I had to talk to him again about where we go to the bathroom.

Mr. C tried to bite his big brother twice, he bit Baby E and Miss O. I can't remember if he did get Cyril or not. lol.

If that wasn't bad enough of a day, Dawn & Spencer came home from school with MAJOR attitudes!!! Good Grief. lol. Did I mention that my feet are so swollen I can't get my shoes or sandals on? Now it's time for dinner, and I think we've earned me ordering pizza for them, or taking them someplace for dinner. I do not want to cook. Jessie won't be thrilled about it, but this momma-to-be isn't cooking tonight.

As the story book goes: It was a Horrible, No Good, Very bad day.

Tomorrow will be MUCH better...as long as it's not a full moon tonight. :D

God Bless
