Non Compos Mentis

Wow, what a day!

I knew last night was too good to be true.
Hunter was having issues with dinner, (an EXCELLENT Lasagna that Kathy made and sent over to us… YUM! And I don’t like lasagna!!) and anyways, we sent him to be early over it. He just flat out refused, so whatever. So Hunter got ready and we put him in bed, and Jack decided that he needed to go to bed too. He kissed us goodnight, got ready for bed BY HIMSELF, and climbed under the covers next to Hunter. It took a while for him to actually go to sleep, because I don’t think he realized that he was actually going to bed. I think he was just copying Hunter, because that’s the ‘in’ thing to do these days.

So once he realized that he had to really go to bed, he was less than thrilled. It only took an hour for him to pass out though, and he slept ALL THE WAY through the night. It’s 7:39am now, and he’s still asleep.

But my day is going to be one of those days, and this is why…

I woke up at 6:48 this morning. Hunter’s bus comes at 6:40. I had to get him up, get him dressed, and get him to school. And it’s fucking COLD outside. Then I get home, and poor Hollie’s ass is falling out. We’re all still torn up from whatever evil bug got hold of us on New Year’s, but he seems to have gotten the worst of it over time. We go in the kitchen to find some Immodium so that he doesn’t shit his pants on the way to work, and somehow the fabric softener that I bought yesterday has fallen off of the counter and every single drop of it is on my floor. I’ve thrown a towel over it to soak it up, and I’ll have to go outside later and rinse it off. I’m concerned about that much softener in my washer. That’s gonna be one soft fucking towel, though, I can tell you that!

So yeah. That’s been my morning so far. And I still have my Monday PODA:
Vacuum
Laundry (whites)
Dusting
Kitchen Rescue
Trash out by the curb
Plus the daily dishes, picking up toys, and anything else that needs to be done.

Ugh.
