this morning daniel woke up at 7 wanting to nurse...and kathryn woke up at 8, so i finally kick myself out of bed to make breakfast...but daniel, with his really bad ear infection, only wants to be held, and so putting him down for even a second is like murdering him...(which i figured out is the cause of all of my horribly painful back problems)
so since it is cold, i figure, lets make oatmeal...get in the kitchen with daniel in one arm, getting the bowls out, only to realize kathryn is going for the oatmeal container, but it somehow slips, and crash, a nice mess to clean up. ok, not bad, it's dry, just sweep it up....so i put daniel down, ugggh screams ringing in my ears, i clean it up while taking a deep breath...
ok, so pick daniel back up, get back to the oatmeal, i get it all preped for the microwave, give daniel a piece of bread, put him down to get the bowls to the microwave, turn it on, turn around, and daniel has crawled over to the highchair where kathryn has just placed her juice (he is just tall enough to reach) and grabs her cup (not sippy cup) and turns it over...all over him.
so do i give him a bath or just change his clothes wipe him down and fill my own growling tummy...
yeah, skip the bath, struggle with daniel to get his clothes off, wipe him down, battle with him to get clothes back on, and at this point trying to calm kathryn down who is now screaming for more juice...deep breath...."JUICE JUICE JUICE MAMA!!!" aaaaagh, "i just want to finish the oatmeal!!! is that too much to ask!!!"
ok, so now i get to eat my oatmeal, and only hope the rest of my day doesn't go this way.
i've still got to do the dishes and the laundry, and clean the kitchen, vacuum the floor (for remaining oatmeal), mop the floor (all the juice will get sticky) and possibly make dinner too?? i feel like cinderella. couldn't possibly be because that is the movie of choice kathryn decided to play 4 times already this morning. =) ::sigh::
but i would like to say thank you to my wonderful husband who watched the kids and put them to bed so i could run off to foxy's last night and sit in their hot tub to loosen up the muscles and pain in my back. it helped so much, i feel much better, so thank you johnathan!

Sounds like mommy should get up earlier to eat or make kids happy then she can feed her tummy. Geez. If it makes you feel better Bogey woke me up like 3 times last night, but the one that bugged me was at 3:15 when I finally got out of bed b/c he would get by my face, sniff I would turn, he'd go run to the door and this basically continued for like 4 times over til I couldn't take his hyper anymore. He had to go outside very badly. Then once he was done he thought it was playtime after I had to round him up outside in the freezing cold. Needless to say it wasn't bad when the alarm went off at 6am I only slept in 30min. hehe I thought to myself, I could so be a mom after this night ;)
Omi, I'm feelin you, I really am.
Sounds like just about every other day here! Love ya fellow mom!
That is why we deserve an award!
