Congratulations Stacey!!

God is laughing at ME this week. Enjoy your time off!! UGH!!

This weekend was rather full of cleaning chores. Things that have needed done but have been neglected for quite some time. i.e.: Carpets and my bedroom closets. When I started cleaning the carpets, as I stated in an earlier post, it was a LOT worse than I thought and had to go get cleaner (and a 6 pack of M¡ller L¡te). I used almost all of the 2nd bottle of cleaner too. I can amost guarantee that I will be redoing the carpets in another 2 weeks. I just feel so gross after all of that, I will obssess about it now until I do it at least one more time.

Then, last night, I get a call from one daycare mom telling me that she will be bringing the kids 15 minutes earlier than originally planned. No biggie. Then, my 2nd daycare mom calls to tell me that I won't have the baby in the afternoon/evening today, I will have her from 7-2. And, she adds, she thinks the baby is teething. Ok, so....

I used to make fun of people that said their 3 month old baby was teething. That is, until my first born woke up one morning at the age of 3 months with TWO TEETH. I had NO CLUE they were coming in, because being the easy baby she was, she would just sleep for a full day and wake up with a minimum of 2 new teeth the next morning. So, it isn't overly absurd that she would think her 3 month old is teething. Not in my mind anyway. Here's the deal though. If my 3 month old was running a 101.2 temp (under the arm, so don't you add another degree to that?), I would be calling to get her seen by the doc, just to make sure it wasn't an ear infection or something like it. Giving credit where credit is due, this all started over the weekend. And, the mom is in an orientation for work today (not something that should be missed). And.... she really is a great first time mommy. I mean that. She really is good. But, until I text her today (didn't want her phone ringing in the middle of a class!) and told her that I think she needs seen, she wouldn't have probably taken her in and just chalked it up to teeth (that I see absolutely no signs of whatsoever). I know I am being a hag here. And I am not, nor wil I ever, claiming to be the perfect mom. I am far from it. But sometimes I just wonder about people. I digress....

This morning was definitely a MONDAY MORNING!! :S Everything I touched turned to poo. It was just yucky. The kind where you want to go back to bed and try it all again. And, of course, it's Monday, which means preschool. No biggie. Gives us something to make the morning go a little faster. I go to unload the kids at the Y, and..... the driver's side rear tire is hissing. FLAT. GASP!!! I HAVE 5 KIDS WITH ME!!! THIS CANNOT BE HAPPENING!!! Thank the Good Lord above that I know a few people in the tire business. I call and, in tears, beg Kyla to get someone out to me STAT. They were there (drove from the SW end of town to the NE end of town) and done within 1 hour of my calling. We really only sat and waited for about 30 minutes because of having to drop Zack in class. And of course once the tire guy got there, it flew by because the kids were all watching him work, etc. So, one new tire on. Need to get a matching one for the other side. And... our 30th bday bash to save for.

Yes.... I am God's punchline this week, I fear.
