..Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day..

The name of the children's book is actually "Alexander and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day" by Judith Voirst.  I am probably odd since I just recently heard about this book while hearing a sermon at my sister Mishka's church in Montgomery.  My terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day went something like this... 

-Woke up just fine.  

-Got the boys ready for MDO and headed to the car. 

-The boys started to not follow orders to get in their car seats the first time I told them.  

Jorge started to chew on the cable that goes to the dvd player on the back of the seat.  I lost my cool.  

-had to apologize and ask for forgiveness for loosing my cool. 

-Got to the school and found out that today was picture day.  Alex looked okay, Jorge not exactly picture perfect.  Eva is crying the whole time I am trying to fill out the form for pictures, while also trying to get Alex to go in his room. 

-Go back to the house.  Fold and put away 2 loads of laundry.  Unpack fall/winter clothes for my husband.  Pack up all my maternity clothes.  Realize I now have four shirts hanging in my closet that fit me.  Also realize that I have been pregnant for the past three years and really only had maternity clothes.  

-I eventually go pick up the boys from MDO.  in the car i realize that I left their coats at school. 

-Get home and get the boys in bed.  Eva is protesting nap time.  She wants to eat, again.  Then she complies with nap time.  I sneak in a 45 minute nap. 

-Kids wake up from nap time.  Mommy folds and puts away 2 more loads of laundry. 

-I start dinner.  Chicken pot pie.  Its the second time I made the recipe.  However, this time I changed one thing on it.  Not a good idea.  Lets just say that when it came out of the oven and I scooped it into a bowl.. i turned around to my husband and said, "Im not going to cry.  Can you please go get us dinner."  

-The boys eat cereal while daddy goes and gets a pizza. 

-I don't want pizza (i thought it was too heavy and I wanted something semi-healthy).  I decide I'll eat the little bit of chicken salad I made from the day before.  Im out of crescents so I decide on just a plain ol' piece of bread. I go to the pantry... No bread. 

-Well cereal it is for mommy.  I then realize I was out of cereal.  

Time to hang it up and go to bed and say goodnight to the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.
