That is what time I got out of bed to get Nathan more apple juice. Mark brought him into our room to "sleep" with me. Once his juice was gone he demands more. Let me just say it is still dark out and I never like being told by a two year old what to do especially when the sun isn't even shining. SO, for the millionth time in the past five years I have to have the talk with one of my children on why we don't yell at mommy and why you need to ask the nice way for something you want.
I get up to get more apple juice to find none, zero, not a drop. I think I said out loud something along the lines of "this day is going to be bad". The good thing about all this is Nathan's heart wasn't really in the right place at 6:25 am, daddy put him back in bed.
6:30 I'm awake so I take a shower because I am going to make it to bible study on time today. It starts at 10 am. I will have plenty of time right? It is three and a half hour from now. HA!
6:45 I don't realize until number one asked for Cherrio's for breakfast that we have no milk either. Confirmation that this day is not getting off to a great start.
7:54 Number one leaves with car pool and we are left with number two and three. Number two complains she is still hungry. Good new is I am dressed. We are going to be on time. So, I make eggs. Bagels and cream cheese weren't enough for my little darlings. Nathan just licked all the cream cheese off of the bagel, so of course he is still hungry.
My goal to leave by 9:25 because I have to get a friend on the way to church. I have over an hour so things are looking good. In order to leave by 9:25 I have to get a car seat in the dryer because someone didn't tell me on the trip to Joann's yesterday that he had to go pee. Needless to say I have to get the car seat back together or I can't leave. Mark helps me and gets it all back together and it the car. I think we are doing great until I go to buckle Nathan in and it won't latch. UGH! My husband put the buckles on backwards. Which backwards is better than what I could do. Have you ever taken apart a 5 point harness car seat? Mark takes the car seat apart, again. While Nathan plays in the van for 10 minutes before Mark gets it fixed.
We are running 10 minutes late. Here is where I get myself into trouble. STARBUCKS! I had this stop in my original plan but we are running late now. There were only two people in line. I can go and still make it to my friends house and to church in the next 15 minutes. The pumpkin spice frappy makes me forget all about no apple juice, no milk and a car seat mishap. I am exactly 10 minutes late because I have to drop off number 2 and 3 in different rooms for child care. Good news is that I have a wonderful friend that saves me a seat. At this point it is only 10:10 am. I will spare everyone from the rest of our day that includes no naps, car circle, swim lessons, homework and the usual night time routine.
