Now, this is how my morning goes on most days....including this morning:
- 6:00: woke up and took a shower
- 6:30: fixed Presleys breakfast
- 6:45: Put on my makeup
- 7:00: Got dressed
- 7:10: Attempted to get Presley dressed however she proceeded to flop around like a fish making this virtually impossible.
- 7:18: Tried to brush her teeth but she refused to open her mouth. I gave her the toothbrush and went straight for the hair. She continued to shake her head from side to side so that I could not put in her piggy tails.
- 7:23: Went to the let the dogs inside and Sam refused to come in. I went out to catch him and proceeded to run in 60 miles an hour in circles around the yard and myself.
- 7:26: Gave up on trying to catch Sam and went inside.
- 7:26: Sam runs in behind me and halfway knocks Presley down.
- 7:26: Sam runs to the bedroom, hops on the bed, and begins to do his rendition of a bucking bronco. In the meantime, his dirty paw prints are all over my clean white sheets and white down comforter.
- 7:28: Sam jumps off and crawls under the bed so that I can't reach him.
- 7:28: Jake takes Sam's place on the bed, dirty paws and all, and does his rendition of a bucking bronco....with my socks in his mouth.
- 7:29: Round up the dogs and take them to their kennels.
- 7:30: Get all 15 bags I have to carry every day and take them to the car.
- 7:30: Hear Presley climbing on something in the garage....only to find out its the rack on the back of Clintons jeep where there was recently a dead, bloody deer.
- 7:31: Get Presley in the car. Finally...right?? NO.
- 7:31: Take her milk and baby out of her arms for 10 seconds to strap her in her car seat while she screams bloody murder.
- 7:33: Presley drops her milk on the floor of the backseat. I reach back to pick it up, only I have this gut feeling its not her fresh milk and that its old. Only I dont know for sure because I cant see that well. So I don't give it to her just in case.
- 7:33-7:50: Listen to Presley scream at the top of her lungs "MILK, MILK, MILK!!!!"
- 7:50: Drop her off at Lisa's, get back in my car after talking to the babysitter for a few minutes, and drive to work in silence.
I officially understand what people mean now when they say "I have to go to work to get some peace and quiet."
And Clinton wants to know why I'm always 5 or 10 minutes late to work. Gee honey, I don't know.
Now I think Im gonna copy LA and come up with a list of my favorite Hollywood men. Every woman needs a list. Just in case :)

Oh my Lord this sounds just like my mornings until this week when J started working from home. It has made all the difference. I'm like haha now YOU can dress and feed the screaming child and strap him into the carseat and listen to him scream his own version of Bohemian Rhapsody all the way to school hahaha!!!
Although Adelyn can't talk yet, we had one of those mornigs too! All while Charlie was in bed asleep...I was trying to be the good wife and let him sleep. I finally left her crying in bed with him and walked out the door! Must be something in the air.
Oh Can what a morning!!! I was getting all antsy just reading it!!! Well just think of the positive you are about to head out to Orlando and enjoy some time with Clinton for a bit :) I hope the rest of the day gets better!!!
LOL! ahhh the morning life of being an awesome mama!! ;)
Oh girl, I know how those mornings go! I hope that tomorrow is alot better for you!! If only we had 2 extra hands and didn't have to get up at the crack of dawn to get ready and get out of the door.
In 10 years you are going to look back on that morning and smile!!!
