Monday, Monday... Can't Trust That Day

First things first, if you haven't been over to read Marc & Angels inspiring posts now is a good time to start! With 52 Monday Morning Stress Reducers it surley will help you to get a leg up on the week. I know I sure could have used to take some of their advice this morning. Some mornings I have the amazing ability to get 3 kids dressed fed and out the door in 30 min..including myself. I really can't tell u how I do it but I do & on these mornings I feel like I have Superhero powers..today wasn't one of those mornings. Sometimes it is just not possible, one little thing can backfire and it's all over: let the madness begin. The car can be started ..I can be standing in the doorway and then bam it happens. "I peed" coming from the stairs and a 4 yr old who emerges needing a new set of clothes 5 min after he was dressed.. an upset stomach sending another one into the bathroom for not 5 not 10 but 15 good minutes no matter how much I plead I finally give up knowing I am not winning this battle..he will be done when he's done..tick tock tick tock..I hear a lot from other Moms how lucky I am to have all boys, that girls require so much more fuss with their clothes hair etc..tell this to my 15 yr old who spends three times as long doing his hair then I do and freaks if his favorite jeans aren't washed.. today apparently wasn't a good hairday and between the straightener and the blow dryer nothing was working out for him.. all of this occurring at 2 min to 7:30 when I am set to leave. But like I told myself at least it wasn't like last Monday when I woke up to a flat tire and a big old screw sticking out of the sidewall...Yes Monday is almost over..the highlight of mine being:  Leaving my coffee on top of the car this evening only to drive off and listen to Jake shriek "Bird Poop" as it spilled all over his window..then believing it..driving to the car wash..sitting in there watching the magic bubbles reach for my coffee and it was "Ohhhhh really oops wow?!? That was my frikin coffee."
