Tuesday Morning Beauty..or lack of!

When people ask you if you have woken up on the wrong side of the bed, what does that actually mean? I sleep on the right side of my bed, my husband on the left, so if I get out on that side, it can't be wrong, because it's the right side, right?!?!? Uggghhh.. who knows, but I for sure got out on the RIGHT side today so that can't possibly be the reason that I got half way to work before I realized I left my laptop I desperately needed today as well as my cellphone, which we all know is a complete devastation not having that marvelous invention in our possession all day! I can consider myself lucky that I only got half way to work instead of the whole way before I remembered and turned around. Either way where did my morning go wrong? I'm sure about any other mother's out there, but when I wake up in the morning, my morning is never about me. I do take care of myself and get myself ready, but it is in between waking up the kiddos, getting them dressed, fed, showered if necessary, and off on their merry little ways! SO then I think hmmm....I"m going to get up early tomorrow to have some "ME" time...great idea! NOPE, those little critters just end up waking up earlier as well. They don't listen to me very well all day when I speak to them, but their radar bat-like hearing comes into play whenever mom steps her foot out of bed!! While the kids are eating breakfast this morning I go into the bathroom and try to apply my makeup and do my hair while my 5 month old German Shepherd literally sits on top of my feet begging for attention. Yes Willa Mae I love you too, but Mommy has to get ready! After tripping over her about only 27 1/2 times I'm ready! Now of to try and pack a lunch, but wait baby spilled milk all over his cute little jammies so mom has to change those! That lunch....yup not made! Almost time to leave and dad isn't awake to watch the kids, so off to grab dad! Time to get up Babe, I have to leave....no response, let's try this one more time, Time to get up babe..with just a little louder tone! I'm up I'm up he says and I'll be out in a minute! Dad's finally out, big kids came down to grab baby to bring upstairs to play and I'm finally able to leave! I grab my purse and as fast as I can run out the door! WITHOUT lunch, laptop, and phone :( SOB SOB SOB.. no big deal just a few minutes late for work! At the end of my morning I'm over the frustration, I'm loving my job, and am actually very grateful to have this beautiful life to be stumbling over! To all of the hard working moms out there, keep your heads up and keep on trucking' because you're doing a great job! I hope everyone has a fantastic day no matter what the start of your Tuesday morning beauty...or lack of!!!
