Some days it rains and some days it pours

So today started of with a little voice in my ear. "Mommy are you awake?" Alexis is in bed beside me. I open one eye a slowly and peek at this little sweet face smiling brightly at me and think what the hell time is it.... We have gotten our schedules so screwed up that Alexis slept yesterday from around 2:00 pm till around 12:30 am in the morning and then she had to get up and eat and then falls a sleep with us because we are both asleep while she drinks milk and eats yogurt in our bed. The baby as normal is always screwed up, she is falling asleep for one nap in the morning and then falls asleep at around 4:00 pm and is back up at 4:00 am. So all I can say is I am so tired I feel like I barely have the energy to breath.

But life goes on we run out of milk, cereal and fruit. We are off to the grocery store. I pack the girls in the car and think oh my this is a long day it is only 8:00am. First I spill my iced tea on the counter and all over Alexis. She starts to cry because she has on a brand new dress she loves, oh no, what a way to start a trip to the grocery store. Second I run the cart in to a display I do not know how it happened but I hit it. This large oddly placed display full of organic nacho chips, it is like slow motion the one bag that is holding everything in place catches on my cart and pulls everything else with it. As the bags hit the ground one busts open and chips fly in the air it is as if there has been an explosion of cheesy yucky nacho cheese haze. "Oh Shit" slipped out of my mouth as I tried to unwrap myself for the display pulling and tugging at my cart, I just want to hide. Alexis looked at me wide eyed and asked "why did you say Oh Shit" I look down thinking ummmm do you see what just happened? I reply "baby is very sorry I made a mistake." She replies "oh shit is a bad word." No kidding, I think she is enjoying saying the forbidden. "Alexis do not use that word again, I am sorry I made a mistake, Do you understand?" "Yes Mommy" she replies.

I find some one to tell that I have massacred a display in the organic food island. He looks at the mess and looks shocked like how in the world did you do all that? I shrug, smile and walk off to the deli section. I buy Alexis macaroni and cheese which she promptly opens and starts to eat when the baby tips it forward and it all tumbles to the ground a pile of yellow cheesy gooeyness on the floor.I know in the back of my mind what is going to happen. "Oh Shit" comes out of my daughters mouth. This time it is my eyes that spring wide open in surprise and horror. I say "excuse me?" She says "Mommy I am sorry it just came out it was a mistake." She really is smarter than the average bear! She then apologizes and we look around and see the little guy cleaning up the display and I catch his eye wave, smile and point at the yellow junk on the floor. Now it was his turn to looked surprised maybe not surprised but like how the hell did you make another mess?

Suddenly I see Emme making a funny face, I am not sure what is going on until Alexis says " She is eating a sticker" No.... I pull her out of the grocery basket and bend down and throw her over my knee and pat her back. She coughs and a piece of paper she is choking on it projectiles out of her mouth like she has just thrown up. This time I just left the mess, I figured it was just paper.

Can this day get any worse....Oh yes it can. We made it home in one piece. A couple hours later my husband pulls up in the driveway and I run out the door to go workout. I have got to get away and as I look out my front door I see the next door neighbors trash and know what has happened, our DAMN dog has gotten in their trash. As I am leaning over the trash there is a flurry of curse words spilling out of my mouth in a hushed tone so no little ears can hear me!!! I am picking up nasty diapers, old food, and the worst thing is food so rotten I can not identify it with out sending it off for testing. GROSS I am heaving and now am spurting the curse words out of my mouth as if the worse they are and the harsher I say them that they may have the an antiseptic quality and kill some of the bacteria that is swarming on the trash.

Ok so I would say it poured today. But as I sit here and write about it, I am laughing at myself and my crazy day. So that makes it all worth it, but now I am going crawl into my bed without any kids and sleep!!!
