So those who think I am a perfect, wonderful mother, please don't read this because you will see me in an all new light. . . just kidding, so nobody is perfect, but today was pretty rough. Dylan didn't sleep last night and Brandon went to work early today, got home at 4pm, and left at 4:15 until late, so I was left helpless against bad odds. I was outnumbered 3 to 1 on 3 hours of sleep. Being drowsy and incoherent, I wrote this to the song, "The 12 days of Christmas."
On the first day without help, this is what I did:
12. Took Haley 30 minutes late to school.
11. Put my good pots in the dishwasher.
10. AND didn't even pre-wash them.
11. Changed Maleia's diaper only twice.
10. Couldn't take a nap.
9. Dylan pooped out his diaper! (At Costco none the less)
8. Didn't put on my makeup.
7. Oh, and didn't do my hair.
6. Had 3 hours of sleep.
5. Dylan puked all over! (When Dylan puked all over his outfit. I took it off wrapped him up in a blanket because he was cold. I left the room to get an outfit and found him asleep when I returned snuggled tightly in his blanket. He stayed naked for a while because I didn't want to wake him up to put clothes on him.)
4. My kids watched two movies.
3. Fed them lunch from Costco
2. Fed them dinner on paper plates (with plastic spoons and forks.)
AND
1. Wrote this blog instead of watching kids!
SO I JUST NOTICED THAT I WROTE THE NUMBERS WRONG. . . such was my day. (10-1-07)

Kids need watching? Oh, that must be what I'm doing wrong. =P
ReplyDeleteSo funny. Glad you finally got the blog up and running.
ReplyDeleteI found you! And I must say, the fact that you left the house at all impresses me! You guys look so cute as a family of 5! Must say I'm not looking to ever head that way myself! Hope you manage to get more sleep soon! Good luck! Wow, that's a lot of exclamation points.
ReplyDeleteYea! The Chapmans! We for sure need to see more of you guys...even if it is through blog. We heart you!
ReplyDeleteIf you think this makes you a bad parent you are just in the Little Leagues, Sisiter. Oh I excel at bad parenting on a daily basis. It's great to see you blogginh. I was talking (via email) to Brandon just today and I mentioned to him that it amazed me you didn't have a blog becuase it seems right up your aley. Well I was right. Hurray for right! Check out royfillmore.blogspot.com and be a part of my movie o the month group. Stay cool you guys.
ReplyDeleteOH Monique - you don't even want to know how often I don't put on make-up (and some days don't shower). I think a lunch at Costco sounds like a great mom. Well, don't stress it - we all have those days.
