1001!

HEY! This is post #1001! How did I miss #1,000? Well, I'm home alone w/3 kids for 60 days, that's how! I miss a lot these days.

Today, in bullets....

5:01 a.m. Alarm goes off. I hit snooze.
5:10 a.m. Alarm goes off. I hit snooze.
5:19 a.m. Alarm goes off. I hit snooze.
5:28 Alarm goes off. I hit snooze.
5:37 Alarm goes off. I hit snooze.
5:46 Alarm goes off. I hit snooze.
5:55 Alarm goes - I get up, noting that I cannot blow dry my hair as I've gotten up so late. So the "hair in a bun" look it is for me today. Too bad the award ceremony w/the executives is today. Sigh.
6:01 Get out of shower. Son comes into room. I tell him to lay in my bed and watch tv until I'm ready to throw him in shower.
6:15 he gets in shower
6:3o he is out of shower
6:40 he is still naked as he's watching "The Secret Show" and forgot to get dressed.
6:42 he's downstairs to start eating.
7:00 he's brushing teeth
7:10 out the door
7:11 BOTH other children wake up after I have the outrageous thought that I get more than 30 seconds of kid-free time in the morning.
7:20 ponder showering 2 little ones before I realize that is DUMB to think I can shower them and get me ready for work by 8 (which is when mom is due to arrive to watch them so I can goto work)
8:00 mom arrives
8:15 I leave
8:40 I arrive at work
10:00 I con call on a dumb meeting where we agree to do something that makes perfect sense, why we couldn't agree on that WITHOUT A MEETING is beyond me.
11:00 goto Qdoba for my 1 meal of the day
12:00 return to work
1:00 awards ceremony. THEY HAVE COVERED THE GLORIOUS CAKE WITH FRUIT! DAMN THEM! I BET THERE'S FRUIT IN THE MIDDLE. DAMN! THEY HAVE TOTALLY RUINED A GOOD CAKE.
1:30 work on stuff
2:30 leave
2:50 arrive home, change, put Jess in car.
3:30 arrive at pediatrician office. Hear how GREAT she's doing (DUH!). She gets THREE shots and does not cry at all. Male nurse is quite impressed.
4 p.m. arrive home -start giving Son his spelling test. Get interuppted for several cups of milk, taking babyT potty, getting more milk and water cups, changing channel on tivo, finding toys, etc.
5:30 throw chicken nuggets into oven.
6:00 get everyone started on dinner
6:30 leave for cubscouts
6:45 - 7:45 cub scout meeting. OMG they are adorable in their uniforms!
7:50 arrive home
8:10 everyone in bed. Now I get to clean up from dinner and the day the kids had here. Make lunch for son for tomorrow. Pack bag for kids to goto mom's tomorrow.

OH, and have some beer! I cannot relax!

Congrats to you on Post 1001.


And a hearty Cub Scout Salute from a Troop Committee Member, former Pack Den Leader (and possibly future one again).
