My Day so far

I was getting dressed in my bathroom when I heard Madeline wake up.  It was a little earlier than normal, which was good because we were needing to leave soon.  I was going to drop the kids off at my friend's house and then head to the doctor. 

I could tell Madeline had gone into Ethan's room, so I kept getting ready.  That's when I heard Ethan start to cry.  "Mom, you need to come in my room RIGHT NOW Mom."  His crying was a hopeless kind of crying, not the angry or fake kind.

When I stepped into his room, I felt like crying too.  Madeline had had a major diarrhea blow out.  And it was all over the off-white carpet and Ethan's bean bag chair and blankets.  It was all over. 

By the time I scrubbed the carpet and put laundry in the wash and Madeline in the bath, it was time to go.  No breakfast.  If you know me, you know how big of a deal that is.  :)  I dropped off Ethan and Madeline went with me.

Once at the doctor's office, I went to check-in and got a blank stare.  "Oh!  No one told you?!  No one called you?  You've been bumped.  Your appointment has been changed until next week."

I drove home wondering how much nicer the morning could have gone had they remembered to mention to me that my appointment had been changed.

So now the kids are watching shows, and so I decided to sew myself "the simple skirt".  Maybe not the most flattering of all patterns, but hey, it has put a smile on my face.

Because it doesn't smell like poop, and it didn't tell me I couldn't wear it until next week!
