Just one of those days

Have you ever had one of those where everything you touch seems to fall apart. Well thankfully not everything fell apart but I was starting to feel like the world was against me! First I snoozed my way through the alarm clock...from 5:30 to 6:35. I literally jumped out of the bed! In doing that my back caught and I couldn't stand up. I was sort of frozen in a bent over position for about 10 seconds. Felt really weird. *#1! I managed to get in the bathroom and turn the straightening iron on while still bent over though! In my sleepy haze I told myself to do my makeup while my iron got hot so I started that. Well while putting powder on I stabbed myself in the eye with my powder brush! Of course not just a little but to the point where my eye not only hurt but it was pouring tears and you know you can't put makeup on while your eyes are watering. *#2! So then I grabbed some clothes...luckily I put my scrubs on at work so I usually arrive sweats...which I have to admit is really nice! I then start to work on my hair. Of course it won't do anything...I mean why should it...who really wants their hair to cooperate when they are in a hurry...geezzzz...I can't have everything. My eye finally went from tears to just hurting so I finished the make up. As I get done I go to unplug the iron and burn my hand. I don't even know how I did that. I wasn't even trying to touch the iron. It was on the counter and the plug is well above that. I don't know! *#3! The boys were dragging. Logan did not want to wake up so I go to get Lane. (Logan had made his way into my bed during the night...surprise surprise!) As usual he jumps right up and helps me wake his brother. I felt bad because I usually at least sit down with the boys while they eat their breakfast...I'm not much of a breakfast eater but sometimes I will eat a pop tart or something but normally that's our morning time together. So while they are eating I'm packing Lane's bag and grabbing clothes. It's now 7:10 which is 5 minutes before I normally head next door to take Lane and neither boy is dressed. Finally after they have both taken their sweet time eating I start getting Lane dressed and Logan has a problem with the shirt I grabbed for him. He's on the hunt for a new one which he can't find and refuses to wear anything other than his new shirt his Grammy sent him which might I add says "I don't have to take this, I'm going to my Grandma's." Shockingly I head off with Lane only 5 minutes late. I swear it felt like it took two days to get ready this morning but somehow I pulled it off and even had time to stop for my morning coffee. I was really feeling I needed the treat! When I got to work we started off normally. Things really were not to bad except I kept hurting myself all throughout the day. I managed to bump my knee on a chair...which now has a bruise, I stumped my toe walking down the hall...yes there was nothing in the way...and I almost fell, I slide on the ice while walking in to get Logan...didn't fall thankfully since that would been embarrassing not to mention I'm sure I would have gotten hurt! *#4, *#5, *#6!!!

The boys were cranky when they got home. Neither wanted to listen and Lane could not be pleased. I fed him, held him which is a workout in it's self. He does not want to sit he wants to climb on me like a jungle gym. He would be happy for about 20 minutes and then scream at me for the next 40. Aaron called during the chaos. I know he doesn't want to hear me get onto the boys the whole time we are on the phone but on days like today I didn't have a choice. But I really needed to talk to him. Just to freshen up my mind and keep my sanity. The boys had gotten a gift in the mail today from Aaron. They were both really excited. They got 4 new DVDs. They both checked them out and of course we had to put one in. Then I got tortured with their musical birthday cards again. Logan's sings, "I like to move it, move it" over and over. I heard that over 100 times tonight over, and over, and over, and over, and over...are you getting my point. I made Aaron listen to it over the phone but hearing 5 times is not near as bad. So of course he thought it was so cute especially with Logan singing along to it. Lane has been "practicing" climbing down off the couch. He will have me pick him up and then he will try to get himself turned around so that he goes off feet first. I have to admit that he's doing a really good job but it makes my heart skip a few beats as he gets himself turned around. I stopped counting how many times he almost fell. Of course Aaron says "just let him fall, he'll stop then!" Well I had to remind him that the last time I followed that advice he ended up with a broken collarbone! "Oh yeah!" So at least I do have a reason to worry. Logan was always the skidish, careful child. Lane is just the opposite and I don't think my nerves can handle it. Aaron is by far the more laid back parent when it comes to raising our children and I need his help with this wild one. I know there are more broken bones to come but I don't think I can do another one by myself. Someone else has to hold him down for those xrays. If there are more though I at least pray that he is old enough to understand what is going on!

Well enough of my rambling. I need to get to bed. I'm sure I only have a few hours of peace before one or both of them are up and in my bed! I have to admit though...it is nice having them close! Even through all the madness...I couldn't live my life without them. They are amazing. God truly blessed me with the 3 most amazing boys in the world...they complete me!
