Anyone Else Have a Day Like This?

I hate Mondays. Usually I can survive them, but today, no thank you. I'm ready to crawl into my bed, and if it weren't for The Bachelor finale, tonight, I'd be there.

I started my morning with a visit from Aunt Flo. Sorry, mom, not pregnant. Then, my husband got upset because with all of my sewing and applique's, I made the iron and the ironing board sticky. Let's just say he was not happy. I left the house with a toddler who barely ate breakfast, carrying two puppets that she would not put down, and having 2 more in her bag. And, I was a few minutes late to work.

Finally, after surviving the work day, I ran to Hobby Lobby. The lines- long, and I got stuck with the cashier who irritated me a week ago in the fabric department.

I picked up Gretchen from daycare, and went out of my way to the grocery store. Our dog hadn't had real dog food since Saturday. As I was driving, Gretchen said "peepee, mommy!".... Sigh.... I told her she had to hold it; we didn't have much of a choice. Knowing that I had to run to the grocery store, I asked her sitter if she had pottied recently, she had, only about 15 minutes before, so I figured we'd be fine. Nope, she peed in her carseat. I changed her clothes in the parking lot and took her in. For some reason, she's discovered the t.v. carts. I dreaded the day when she would discover those, and it came sooner than I thought. I bribed her into the other buggy, because I didn't have a dollar, and promised her a ride on the penny horse when we were finished. My daughter had to carry the box of tampons through the store and throw them down a few times. She wouldn't let the box go at the check-out. Again, I bribed her with the penny horse. We had to wait our turn though, and thankfully she did well. She rode twice, and threw a fit when I told her we were finished.

Back to the peepee carseat we go. I put a burpie down in the seat, and drove her home. Battled with her to get her to go into the house and stop playing in the garage, while I also battled the monster Britax Boulevard carseat that we have. I had to take it out of my car, and read the instruction book just to get the cover off. It's finally in the dryer, but DJ is going to have to re-install something so I can take her to daycare tomorrow.

I fixed yucky chicken nuggets for dinner. DJ wasn't home, and after all of the recent happenings- I was not cooking. And, I decided that I was too tired to give Gretchen a bath, yes, even though she peed on herself, she'll get one tomorrow.

I haven't been to the gym since last Wednesday. I feel like I've gained 10 lbs. It doesn't help that I baked delicious pumpkin bars yesterday.

As tired as I am, as much as I want to crawl into bed, how can I not enjoy life? Especially with this..... This was taken about a week ago. She saw the camer and begged me to take a picture.

I do give her baths... this was Saturday night after her bath, playin with her Minnie Mouse sticker- she loves Minnie Mouse.

Is it bedtime yet?
