The worst of which began with "Maaawwwwmmm" echoing down the hallway into my sleeping brain. I hollered back, "What?" The answer came back, "I went poop and peeeee..... and Mom, I had an accident." Nothing starts my day off right like rolling out of bed to clean poo off of my 4 year old and every surface he came into contact with, because he didn't want to stop playing Nintendo long enough to make it to the toilet. Just for the record, BOYS ARE MUCH MORE GROSS THAN GIRLS. Boys do the most unexplainable, disgusting things.
I got him cleaned up, fed, and off to school. I reasoned that the day could only go up from there! I tried to think positive. But all that went out the window when Ladybug woke up and was screaming. I came in to find round two of the poo poo messes. ALL OVER. So off to the bathtub we went and then I had to clean up all the sheets and do the laundry and remake the bed. Another disaster cleaned up. I had to get back on track.
I had to tackle the next project. Lou Lou's school room had not been used for school for a month because it was a disaster after Christmas. The same school room serves as my craft room and all the wrapping, crafting, and decorating had exploded all over the entire room. I decided I would finish cleaning it up. Then I decided to add a little "skirt" to my desk area to hide all the stored junk underneath it. What should have been a simple job turned into a time sucking pain in the hiney.
I cleaned up that mess, got the kids lunch and then laid them down for bed except Lou Lou who went to the Nature Center with Birdie and her kids. Then I went back to the previous project. By this time I was pretty irritated. Nothing had gone according to plan and I was hoping the afternoon would go a little better. When I was just about finished, Birdie brought Lou home and came in holding a Diet Dr. Pepper (LORD BLESS HER SOUL) and some packages that were sitting on the porch.
At this point, I thought the day was looking up! The package was an "inspiration" bikini I had ordered, with the hope that it would help me get off my hiney and back into the gym. (One day I will be able to wear a bikini again if it kills me.) I asked Birdie if she wanted to see it and eagerly ripped open the package to find this...
which would have been great, except I ordered this...
Dumb swimsuit company. One more thing to put on the to do list. #247 Return swimsuit.
Birdie left and I went and finished the skirting project. Then, like an idiot, I decided to take a chair in that room that had this fabric on it...
And simply put on a slipcover that I had ordered for it. Easy right? Sure except it wasn't wide enough. So, after I had wrestled the stupid thing and got it as far on as I could get it, I decided I would MAKE it work. I took the scissors and cut directly down the middle of the back.
My hope is that I can take this...
And add it to the chair cover like this...
And make it work. However, I decided with the way I my day had gone, it would probably be wise to NOT start on that little sewing project. I decided to call it "a day" on the project front. I gave up, went and cooked dinner, fed and bathed my kids and put them in bed. Then, I took a bath and climbed into bed with the hopes that the next day would be better because it HAD TO BE! And thankfully it was!
