So, Sundays are a little crazy at the Jacobs residence these days. I'm sure I'm not the only mom who feels like I need a nap by the time I get to church! Of course anytime that I have someplace to be, at a specific time, where K & I must both look presentable, it can get interesting. But, the 1 pm church thing is a special balancing act of making sure the kiddo gets lunch vs getting dressed on time vs not getting lunch on the church clothes... Did I mention that I am a Ward Clerk Widow? I'm tired right now just thinking about it :)
A couple of weeks ago we had an especially exciting morning, that I must record part of, for my own memory of the madness.
It all started with us going to a fireworks show on Saturday night (& getting home quite late), which resulted in me (like the perfect wife that I am) forgetting to wash John's white shirt & not realizing it until he was getting ready for his meetings. We had also forgotten to pick up his suit at the dry cleaner. Sigh.
So, already on a roll, the morning included all of the following (& more):
2-3 head bonks, 1 overturned Rider Rocket toy (stuck foot, head bonk), 50 or so coupons spread all over the dining room floor, 1 package of Smarties spread over the kitchen floor, several unsuccessful attempts at breakfast & lunch, 1 bottle of milk, 2 pantry door cupboards emptied onto the floor, several baby food jar labels removed, 1 empty wipes bin (which was discovered when 1 very poopy diaper change was already in progress...), quite a bit of screaming (it is quite traumatic when I walk to the other side of the room...also when I try to get dressed, very traumatic...), tears (from both of us), 20 new tiny dents in the dining table, 1 sofa saved from eyeshadow doom, 1 plea to "please don't throw up on me" - all while trying to pack a diaper bag, get us both dressed, and finish up/review my RS lesson...
Whew!
