Bumpy Start

The day is young and I KNOW that it will only get better as the day goes on...it has to!

This morning Adam left early for work, which threw off my 'shower pans' right off the bat. I was slowed down in the shower by Chloe was likes to rummage through the bathroom and our bedroom... I found her trying to curl her eyelashes with a little flosser doo-jiggy that Adam keeps in his drawer. That was a priceless moment!

Evan was a puddle today, crying over everything...his shoes being put on, me putting him down, him tripping over his blanket, and numerous other tragic events.

I am starting to think at this point that I will not even get to the point where I can put on make up today... Then...I get the phone call...

Nikki called and she and her long time BF broke up! She was simply crushed. Most of us ladies out there have been through a difficult break up, the one that hurts so bad the emotional pain hurts physically. Most of us who have been through break ups like this will never forget that pain and the letting your mind wonder back to that time brings back remnants of the emotions that we felt at that time. I just sat and listened, somewhat shocked since I didn't see it coming. My heart breaks for her. Of course, Evan has to be also crying in my ear at the same time...

At this point I am feeling disheveled. My mind is in like 20 places.

I get the kids out the door thankfully on time. I see that the turn I need to take has a long line of REALLY slow construction trucks on it so I decide to take this alternate way which I have been meaning to try for a while now. And what do you know, the exit I need to get off of...yep...closed! So, then I have to take the detour, which as we all know never saves time! I still manage to get to work on time...although frazzled.

At work (yes, if you notice this is a Saturday, I am 'blessed' to have to work 2 Saturday's a month), I am met with the phone ringing right away and people coming at me left and right. I feel like I am a yo-yo, every time I get up to get some coffee the phone rings. As the only person in the office I have to make a mad dash to get the phone answered.

It is now 10am, and I finally have my coffee, and of course I have no make up on.

This day HAS to get better!

I am still excited though! Tonight is the races! We are having a group of people come over and grill, then go to the races, and afterwards have a bonfire! We have a lot of people staying the night and the kids are going to my parents. It will be good to have some time with friends!

I'll try to remember to take pictures at the races!

Cheers,
