Today has been one of those days! In terms of being a Mum, it was no bother really, it was more in terms of trying to achieve everything I needed to do whilst being a Mum...
After 5 hours of sleep with a 2:30am interval (thanks Sophie), I snoozed the alarm for 40 minutes, which undoubtedly set the pace for the rest of the day. Running late for kindy, I hastily dressed and fed the kids then raced out the door. Naturally, the fuel gauge was on “E” (insert explicit language here) so a quick stop at the petrol station was in order. $75 dollars later for my 4 cylinder car resulted in a vow to be far more conservative with my driving!! Kindy run complete, I realised I had left my shopping list and USB stick at home (insert more curse words here). With the chorus of Elliott’s fussing and carrying on I collected the USB stick and a few other bits and bobs then headed to the shops. I had forgotten the list again! (insert very foul language here) Oh well, I printed the photos, did a bit of unnecessary clothes shopping to pass the time and headed home for lunch and Elliott’s nap.
Ok, take two. While Elliott was asleep, I decided I wanted a few more photos printed so planned to head to Kmart after he woke to print the photos, do the groceries then collect Soph from kindy. Things were looking up J I opted for instant prints to save time but when I went to pay for them I discovered I didn’t have my purse with me! (insert even more explicit language here). A quick check of the car turned up nothing, and an upending of the nappy bag also turned up empty, so I raced home panicking to find my purse (I had also forgotten my list again so it worked out well that I was heading home). I couldn’t find my purse anywhere in the house so I calmed myself down and looked in the car more thoroughly...it was under the bloody seat the whole time!!!!!! (insert VERY foul language here). Hurried back to pay for photos, no time for grocery shopping, so I headed straight to kindy to collect Soph.
Ok, take three. On route to the supermarket, I realised I had forgotten my sodding list AGAIN so I was shopping from memory. Normally this would not be a drama but because we are having a small lunch for Elliott’s birthday tomorrow (yes my children are the most celebrated humans on the planet!!) I needed everything I had written down. Woollies had no diced bacon, no cob loaves, no cake mix for me to cheat when making Elliott’s cake tonight and to top it off, Elliott filled his bloody nappy with the foulest smelling poo I had ever been cursed with inhaling!!!
So as I sit here typing up today’s blog, I find myself asking “So universe, where are my freakin smiling eggs now huh???!!!” Then I recall BWS has my wine on special and suddenly, all seems right with the world again J
