What a crummy day. First of all, it began at 3am, when Sadie woke up. (which is fine, she doesn't sleep through the night yet anyways). She went back to sleep around 4 (and usually sleeps for 3-4 hours). SHe was up again at 5, before I even fell asleep!! I'm thinking she woke up being cold, since she had kicked her blankies off. All of a sudden, Cal is standing next to me. He tells me it's late. Amazingly, I had fallen back asleep after Sadie got up at 5. Amazingly, she had fallen back asleep, too. I try to look at the clock, without my glasses all I see is a 6 somewhere. Well, it's 7:16. Usually we are up around 6:30 or so. Kaycey and Maddie are still in bed. The bus comes at 7:30. Not a big deal if they miss the bus, but still rush, rush. I race to wake up the 2 girls, make breakfast, get bags packed so they aren't late for school (gotta be there by 8!). We make it, just in time. Sadie and I come home to begin the task of endless laundry. Go to pick up Maddie and she had a terrible bloody nose at school (she's only had one once before). We go to Home Depot, determined to buy something to cover the darn windows in the family room which has been bare since moving in. I find nothing. ARGH. I'm tired of a house that looks like we just moved in, or are about to move out. Then home for lunch, of course I don't even get a chance to eat anything, though. Too busy trying to keep up with the laundry, and filling the dishwasher. I realize that for Kaycey's dr. appointment this afternoon, I have no stroller to push Sadie in (we have 2 strollers sitting in the garage but they won't close, which means I can't get them in my car), cause there is no way I am carrying that seat with her in it through Childrens' Hospital. So while Maddie ate lunch and fed Sadie, I put together our new sit 'n stand stroller (but putting things together and having to read directions gives me a headache.) I cross my fingers that I put it together right, or at least so the wheels don't fall off while we are walking. Off to school to pick the kids up early, Kaycey has an appointment at CHildren's in Urology. I make the mistake of bravely taking all 4 kids with me. Didn't have available sitters, anyhow. Sadie cried most of the time, and Maddie was just plain sassy. After nearly 2 hours, we go home. Maddie attempts to stick her stickers from the hospital on my car window. I stop her just in time. I come in the house and immediately take a 600mg ibuprofen and put my pajamas on (it's 5pm). I walk into the kitchen to find Maddie's stickers on my cabinets. I should've let her put them on my car windows. Dinner tonight will be waffles or cereal. Can't wait for this day to be over.

Oh, yuck. I'm so sorry. We have to have days like this, I think, so that we can enjoy the good days and even enjoy the normal days. Go to sleep, and have a great day tomorrow to make up for it!
Sounds like an ad for that ibuprofen. Day's like yours are those that put me over the edge with 4 kids. But tomorrow will be a better day....hopefully! In the meantime you have some great material for the 365 album:) A picture of those darn strollers perhaps? Hang in there!
I'm sorry you had a yucky day! I agree with Katherine. Scrapbook it! I am sure now it really sucks but wont it be cool to look back on that picture of the family sitting around the table eating waffles and cereal or those strollers as Katherine suggested. I think my pages about the not so great moments in life are some of my favorites because they are really what my life is like. It usually makes me laugh when I read them now and reminds how precious the good moments really are.
I think you should ahve taken a shot of tequilla instead! LOL
Hang in there -- and least those days are EVERYDAY!
Consider yourself hugged (even if it is a few days late).
