Ive had better days

Im not getting the Mother of the Year Award…not today.

-The tooth fairy forgot replace Abi’s tooth with money…not just once, but two nights in a row.

-My baby got so tired from being dragged around to the Post Office, Michaels, Grocery Shopping and WalMart that she fell asleep sitting upright in a grocery cart this morning.

-I made my kids complete a full day of school on Monday and completely forgot to take them to the local Labor Day parade. What kind of mom makes her kids do school on a holiday?

-The plumbing went out in our upstairs bathroom….(sigh)

They say to make lemonade when life gives you lemons, soooo…..

-We’ve been reading Amelia Bedelia (my favorite childhood book) and the kids were infatuated with the idea of making Lemon Meringue pie. We tried to make one, but I forgot to pre-bake the crust and ended up with Lemon Meringue on dough….which Tristan said was disgusting.

Ive had better days.
But thats okay…they love me anyway!

How bout you? Has anyone else ever gotten to church and realized their child didnt put shoes on that morning. Or have you ever been in a pinch…I mean really desperate and completely out of diapers. Have you ever resorted to putting a maxi pad on your baby until your husband gets home with a new pack of diapers?
I wouldnt know…..just wondering!
