Friday Morning- It WAS the Calm Before the Storm!

These kids are seriously out to get me. All of them.

I made Chocolate Mal-O-Meal (I tell them it is hot chocolatey breakfast) for breakfast, and now the entire table is covered in it. Bo is screaming and screeching because he is "over me", Cote keeps attempting to turn around in her highchair and Gage keeps bending over and headbutting the table. Everyone is in sensory overload and I am too tired to even cry. All I can do is watch in amazement and wonder how therapy is going to go today. I sigh as I fantasize about our new therapy/PCA schedule. Starting in June we are revamping the entire thing so that we have our PCA here right away in the morning and then therapy at 1:00pm every day. The worst part of my day is right away in the mornings with all the breakfast, cleanup, dressing and loading in the car... so this will be wonderful. Yep, just about conjured up a tear on that one!

I decide to fill up the kitchen sink and do sponge baths on the counter. Breakfast took a little longer today than I would have liked, so this is what I will have to do. Afterwards I make a sippy and a bottle and do diapers and outfits. I get Bo and Cote fed and work with Gage for almost 30 minutes trying to brush his teeth and hair.

I hop in the shower and do a quick hair and body rinse, thankful that even THAT was accomplished this morning. I get out, get dressed, start the van and tackle Bo and Cote's teeth. Actually I should rephrase that... I TRY to tackle Bo and Cote's teeth. I lose that battle. I get everyone's winter gear on and we head out the door. It's ungodly below zero out there so Goldie's door wont open on Bo's side. I crawl across and he goes completely "wet noodle" on me and laughs at my struggles. Rotten kid :) I get Gage and Cote and load them and it's off we go to the accountants and to pick up Mel!!!
