A Day in the Life of

Jesse woke me up at 5:45 a.m. this morning. I was asleep in Hal's room and didn't hear my alarm clock go off. Jesse had to be at the airport early this morning to make a 7 a.m. departure. I decided I would push snooze and sleep a couple of extra minutes. I must have turned off my alarm clock, because I didn't wake up until ten to eight. Keyton's bus arrives at 7:56 a.m. Keyton ate breakfast in a hurry,while he was busy chowing down, I woke up Hal and Owen. I rushed everybody out the door and dropped Keyton off at school. Keyton was excited because he got to get a yellow slip that read "tardy". I haven't told Jesse any of this information yet. So this comment is for Jess....SURPRISE!

After I got back home from dropping Keyton off, I had to get to work on cleaning the house for a 1:30 p.m. showing. Hal had to be to school at noon. At five to 12 I looked at the clock and realized Hal hadn't had lunch yet. I hurried and made her a sand which, which she ate on the way to school. I then came back home and continued to tidy up until it was time to leave for the showing. I took Owen and Ruby (dog) with me to target. Owen and I got the groceries and as we were in the check out line, I looked at my phone to check the time, it was 2:26 pm, Hal's school is over at 2:30 p.m. I sped to Hal's school and picked her up. I came back home, and noticed that none of lights I had left on for the showing had been turned off. I was sorta pissed...a no show...really??? Awesome. Oh, and as I was busy being pissed about the no show, I walked into the bathroom to turn off the light, when I happened to catch a glimpse of my rear end in the bathroom mirror. Yes, my undies were sticking WAY out, and my shirt was tucked into them. It was then that I understood, I had walked around Target for an hour with my tighty whities hanging out of my pants.....with my SHIRT tucked into them. Note to self----- loose the granny panties.

I unloaded all of the Target bags into the mud room. I opened a box of cheerios so Hal and Owen could have a snack. As I was opening the bag (plastic bag inside cheerio box), the bag ripped, cheerios went flying all over my kitchen. As I was attempting to pick up the mess, Owen started to cry, ( he wanted a bottle) when I was in the middle of preparing him a bottle, I knocked over the can of formula; spilling it's contents all over the counter. During all of this chaos, Keyton walked in the front door ( he was at school) and demanded that I take him to Barnes and Noble. I was cleaning up the formula, Ruby (dog) was eating the cheerios off of the floor, and Keyton was hollering, "Barnes and Noble now!" when there was a knock at the door. I hurried over to the door, and there was a guy standing there with a clip board. I opened the door, he said, " My name is Matt, I am the realtor that is supposed to be showing this house today, we are running very late. Is it still okay if I show it?". I said, " Yes, yes it is." Matt then said, "It shouldn't take long. You could-- like go for a walk.". Well, it was raining outside, so I told Matt I would go for a drive instead. I shut the door on Matt's face, and I ran into the kitchen to clean up the massive mess we had managed to create in the 10 minutes that we had been home. I didn't however get a chance to unload any of the items I had purchased at Target, so they sat in the mud room during the showing.


This is the kind of stuff that happens to me when I don't get up in time to drink a pot of coffee. I will work on my time management skills, because apparently they are lacking.
