A Day for the Books

OK, today started innocently enough.  

On the way to safety camp, Mik had to go to the bathroom.  'OK, as soon as we get there you can go'  But, we had to wait in line for the dropoff.  In that 5-10 minutes, she whined the whole time that she had to go real bad.  By the time we were 2 cars from drop off, she said 'I had an accident---I pooped in my pants.  At the same time they are trying to open the door and get her out.  Not so fast--I have to find a bathroom and clean her up.  I got that taken care of and then found her class.

Then, Josh and I are riding down Lake Cook Road.  Out of the rear view mirror, I see monkey flying out the back window.  Argggh!  Now, this is a road with a 50 mph speed limit.  So, I pull over and go back in the opposite direction to get near where it happened.  As I'm going back, I see two cars run over it and many others swerve to get out of the way.  I parked a safe distance away and made sure no cars were coming and played a quick game of frogger and dashed into the road and rescued him.  To make matters worse, I had let him have monkey later in the day and let the windows be down and he threw him out again--this time in stopped traffic.  In my defense, my windows don't roll down that far and I was driving my father in laws car and forgot that Josh could reach out the window.

OK--my morning wore me out--on to the afternoon.  Mikayla wouldn't lay down and somehow got her hands on scissors and cut her hair again.  Honestly, you can't tell--I think she just cut an extra part that was in her eyes.  But, i found these long pieces on the carpet and wasn't that happy with her.

Then, I took her to swimming.  She was adamant that she didn't want a boy teacher--well, guess what she got a boy teacher.  She was throwing a hissy fit and wouldn't let me leave.  She kept wanting one more kiss(which I have a hard time resisting) and screaming and crying.  I finally got her to go into the pool because I told her it was either that or we were all going home.  Then, she sat in the corner and sulked the entire time and wouldn't play with them.  Honestly, I'm sure at that point, the teacher didn't know what to do with her either.  I was pretty upset with her--she had doing so well the last two weeks and this was such a waste of all our times.  She got more water time in her bath later.

Oh well, tomorrow is another day!  Now, it's margarita time!
