Its only 10 am!

So its only 10 in the morning and I already have a headache! My kids tried to play the stupid xbox before school, which is a no, no in our house, then they tried to eat crackers for breakfast and got mad when I told them no. All 3 boys would not leave Rylee alone so she was crying. None of the boys were dressed and we only had about 20 minutes before we had to leave for school. Then as we were going out the door Dallin had a break down because the gloves (that he used last winter) were all of a sudden to big. My neighbor has heard me yell at least 2 times by now, so she probably thinks I am a horrible mom. (She has 2 boys and I never hear her yelling! Maybe she will trade a boy or 2 with me?) So we actually make it to school on time, by some small miracle! So I am back at the car and I put Rylee in first and then move the stroller to the back of the car (where it cannot be seen from the driver seat) take Corey out and put him in his seat. THEN, no I did not back up, I just drove away and left my stroller there. Somehow from the time I took Corey out of the stroller and put him in his seat I forgot all about the stroller. Maybe it is a really good thing I took Rylee out first or she probably would have been sitting there watching me drive away. So I get home and take the kids out of the car, still have no idea that I left the stroller back at school, and my friend drives up and tells me she has a Christmas present for me. She goes to the back of her car and takes out a stroller that looks just like mine and I say to her, "hey we have the same exact stroller." What a DORK I am. She looks at me and starts to laugh. Then tells me that she watched me drive away from the school with my poor stroller sitting there all alone! Then I start to laugh when I realized what I did. Again, it isn't even noon yet and I feel like it is the end of the day because I already have a headache. Usually I don't get a headache until the end of the day. Wow! I would love to go back to bed. The bright side is that I still have a stroller, that I did not back up over, and a friend (Mele) who takes care of me! What would we do without friends and family?

I too have had some really bad days this week. However, yesterday was perfect and I was thinking that if I hadn't had those HORRID days, I wouldn't RECOGNIZE the wonderful ones! Hang in there!

LOL! You just crack me up! I'm with you... this week is NOT a good week. Sick boy keeping me up every night (while being in the 'I'm so exhausted' stage of pregnancy!) So not fun!!
But your kids are safely at school and you still have your stroller! Hooray!!! Tomorrow will be better... it has to be, right?

Sorry but I was laughing when I read this. Especially the part when your friend brought you your stroller and you said, "i have one just like that." Hahaha

Jill said...

Hahaha! You are too funny Alicia. I think we all have days like that every once in awhile!

Hilarious! Sounds like my life, except that I actually did run over my stroller. Amazingly, it still works. So nice to see that I'm not the only "dork". J/K! But really, just think how boring life would be w/o kids and the craziness that comes along with it.
O, and I am loving your adorable picture at the top of your blog. You guys are the cutest!

PS I just saw that you have Ivan & Ann Marie on your blog list. How do you know them? Kevin grew up with them in his ward/stake. I think he even went on a date with AnnMarie. Such a small world in mormomville.

You definitely need some chocolate after a day like that!

That's too funny! I'm glad I'm not the only one with issues. Hopefully your day was better today!!

P.S. I love the header picture of your family! I especially love Rylee's dress! (I bought the same ones for my girls. It is so beautiful!)
