I had a frustrating day today!! I know with five kids that a lot of my days come with some frustration but today there was more than usual and most of it wasn't even their fault!
Tuesdays are very busy for me and today was no different.
My alarm wakes me up at 6:15 and I promptly hit the snooze button and semi-sleep for 10 more minutes. Somewhere between 6:25 and 6:30 I drag myself out of bed and start knocking on doors. Avery Rose's, then Aedan's, then Hannah's, then Christina's, then Aedan's, then Avery Rose's, then Aedan's, then Avery Rose's, then Aedan's, OK, you get the picture. Aedan and Avery Rose take after me!! Today was fend for yourself breakfast. Somedays I make pancakes, and at least once a week Papa (my dad) comes over to make either waffles or pancakes. I like for the kids to be heading back to get dressed, teeth brushed and hair around 7:00 then we leave at 7:30. Today I dropped the kids off in front of their school and went straight to my trainer to workout from 8-9. I then go straight home and shower so I can be at CBS (community bible study) by 10:00. Today my group were the "love ladies" which means we help with the childcare. Every Tuesday I hurry out of my house so I can drive through McDonalds to get my egg McMuffin-no meat, and a diet coke-easy ice. This morning I forgot to eat before I worked out so I was very anxious to order my egg McMuffin-no meat, and a diet coke-easy ice and drive away. While driving down Devonshire towards church I excitingly open my egg McMuffin-no meat to find that while I specifically told them egg McMuffin-no meat they gave me an egg McMuffin-with meat and NO EGG! I was sad, and hungry, and I couldn't go back without being late for CBS so I kept driving.
Every other Tuesday I also have an appointment with my counselor so I had to leave CBS 15 minutes early and head to my appointment. I had planned to walk into McDonalds and "exchange" my McMuffin but it was so crowded and I didn't have time. I was still hungry so I drove through Burger King. I ordered a Whopper with cheese meal with no pickles, onions, or tomatoes and a diet coke-easy ice. I drive away and I am salivating as I unwrap my whopper with cheese-no pickles, onions, or tomatoes. Yum, they got it right!! After eating almost half of it I got a bit thirsty so I take a big gulp of my diet coke-no ice and I almost vomit. Literally!! It was iced tea and I HATE iced tea. I seriously couldn't even swallow it and I had to pull over on Devonshire, open my door and spit it in the street. Now I am really pissed because again, I don't have time to turn around and go back!!! I make it to my counselor full but thirsty and go in and tell her about my morning. She say's "well, you must be thirsty, would you like some water?" Yes, thank you!!! She goes into the tiny breakroom where the Arrowhead bottle is and starts chuckling and yells "You're not going to believe this but there are no cups!"
She offers me a bowl and there I sat for 50 minutes drinking water from a bowl.
