Today definitely did not start out with Kinley and I waking up in Cooper's bed. Seems the only people who slept, and slept in their own bed were McKenna and Earl. The dog did not barf in Cooper's room promptly at 6am either.
Kinley did not throw two dozen tantrums between the time she opened her eyes and the time we left for school. That is approximately 50 minutes in case you were curious. Upon dropping her off (read "peeling her off of me") at daycare , I did not get a note that said there was a head lice outbreak in said daycare. Nice.
I feel it's important to pause here and point out that between the hours of 9am and 1049am I was actually able to fold a load of laundry, prep two meals and look over my notes for class tomorrow. And then....
Well, I did not get a call from my mom saying that my pap's procedure scheduled for tomorrow was postponed. No big deal except for all the things that were rearranged for Tuesday. While talking to my mom the school nurse definitely did not call and say that Cooper was in her office with a sore throat and fever. Oh, and she did not suggest that he more than likely had strep - still, again? No one knows. I did not have to call the clinic and pick up a new prescription which would ultimately take 4 wasted doses until Cooper kept it down.
It is important to point out that in the course of today I did not drag kinley back out of the daycare, crying - still, again? I don't know. Apparently she had an okay day while she was there. Perhaps it's me that she doesn't like. The staff did not say that she had a 15 minute nap and that she coughed the rest of the time. Would have been nice to know.
I digress. I did not text my mom something on the order of "everyone here is crying and I can't wait until the cleaning lady leaves so I can burst into tears too." Never mind, that really did happen. And she really did come over, armed with hugs and her own medicine in an attempt to get Cooper to take his.
I did not serve the kids sandwiches for dinner because I didn't have the strength to coax them to eat the chicken I had made. I also did not eat candy for the first time in a month! Good lord, did my neighbor ever catch me at a bad time!
I did not find a library book upstairs tonight labeled "14 day book" that I have no clue when we checked out. Chances are I could have bought us all a copy with the amount of money I will owe the library tomorrow.
Oh yeah, speaking of tomorrow, it's definitely not the first day of clinical tomorrow. Nope. And Kinley definitely did not just interrupt me to tell me her head and throat hurt. Though I'm not surprised since my throat is definitely not scratchy either. Sigh.
Believe it or not, I could continue with this Not Me Monday but reliving it is tiring. Perhaps that's why I quit these posts in the first place! Let's move on to Tuesday.
