What a crappy day....

I started my morning with E saying goodbye while I was still in bed. I would rather be up to see him off. Then our oldest J comes in and states he is hungry; you would think at 7yrs old he would be able to feed himself but always seems to need to be told "well, then get something to eat." It isn't like there is nothing in this house to eat child!

I get up and he processes to follow me around talking non stop. This tells me too things, I'm not awake enough for this and two he has been up too long before me. When he starts just say "ouch, ouch, ouch" over and over and over, I ask rather rudely (lack of coffee) "what the hell hurts so much you have to continue on like that?" Which I'm told "you scrapped my foot with yours." "Does it really hurt that much that you have to continue the ouching?" "No, I just felt like it." "Then knock it off NOW! I still need coffee and I can't handle all this noise so soon after I wake up!"

He stops and sits down to waffles that HE put into the toaster and all proving there was no real need for me to get up. Anyways...then the young one starts making noise in our room (E and mine). I go back there to see what the deal is and D is getting into my great grandmother's jewelry box (only very special things are in here and NOTHING that he should have). I totally lose it and start yelling at him. He ends up at the kitchen table picking at his food, which he has still yet to finish...only ate 1/2 of it.

I decide I'm going to check my voice messages from yesterday and get a message that Scoop has missed a tour to the local candy store. I'm overly pissed at this point for I’m not even the contact for this trip so why are they calling to tell me. I look around online to see if I'm missing anything and it seems our trip is scheduled for August 25 not June 23. I call the place and explain that I'm confused and why. She looks it up and says we sent an email in asking for the 23 of June to which they had replied that we were confirmed for the date and time. An email I never received so I turned the trip over to another lady and she setup the trip. I got it all worked out with the candy people and they are even nice enough to wave the $15 no show fee.

When I'm done I figure I will check email and things before going and setting up the pool. When I check email I get anything we have posted to our blogs and any comments people have left. This morning I got two posts on E's blog from last night. I hate reading his blog because I either don't understand what he has written or take what he has posted very personal. Well, today I took it very personally and it has killed my day (there is a different post about that).

I did managed to setup the pool, fix a flooding house (thanks D...need the extra challenge today), send the kids to bed (D napped...J ended up outside playing) post on my blog, hopefully fixing the pool fitter (decide not to work after I unplugged it the second time to add the chemicals...fun fun), and I will get dinner started in about a hour or so…who knows maybe I will get even more done…we will have to see.
