My list so far, all normal things by themselves:
- My back-up alarm (my watch) didn't wake me up (I left it in the bathroom last night).
- My shirt had a hole in it (I had to change).
- My nylons have a run in them (I covered them with pants).
- I left my lunch bag at work (I had to scrounge for a paper bag).
- Rosie needed nebulizer meds that take 20 minutes and I was already late, so I roused her out of bed too quickly, which sets her off (it's better for everyone to let her come out of her room in her own time).
- Dash made Rosie cry by threatening to watch a TV show that she dislikes (I intervened and relocated Dash to watch something on my laptop while she was on the nebulizer).
- I forgot that both kids have spelling tests today (I had to quiz them).
- I have a smashing headache (have I taken pills for it yet? no.).
- My car was covered with frost for the first time this season (I had to scrape it).
- While I was scraping the car, I noticed that somebody had hit it and the side-view mirror was dangling and couldn't be reattached (the mechanic in my neighborhood is ordering the part, but for now, I'm driving without a driver's side mirror).
Know those mornings, sorry it all happened at once!
ReplyDeleteMy advice is to find yourself a moment and just sit and breathe when you get to the office. Yes, this doesn't help the pile of work that is waiting for you, but can improve the day. And you deserve a break.
Curiosity, at what age could she do her nebulizer by herself sitting and watching something instead of being held down and the mask (or I guess mouthpiece at this point maybe) chasing her face?
Oh, gosh, Wiley! I know EXACTLY what you're talking about!!! Aaaaand, I'm going to say, age four or maybe five for Rosie. It was definitely closer to age three for Dash.
ReplyDeleteDeep breath! Dee-ee-ee-ee-eep breath!
ReplyDeleteFeel better?
Good. Now go punch rude door guy in the face.
Oh dude. Effing hell. I know days like that.
ReplyDeleteOh no! Nebs can throw my whole morning off, even if that is the only issue. KayTar sleeps the longest, so if she wakes up and needs one, usually she is tardy for school.
ReplyDeleteThis morning I slept through my "KayTar's feed time" alarm. So she had to wear her backpack to school and Josh had to drive them. I usually get myself read in the time slot after I start her feed/before everyone else gets up and I have to help them get ready.
