PUT TO THE TEST

Well, this morning did not start out very good.

While the kids were at the table eating their cereal, Esai dumped all of his cereal on the floor and laughed like if he had done the best thing in the world, so I told him that was "not nice."

Elkin could not find his shoes, actually he could find one shoe, but from two different pairs of shoes. So I put the kids in the car (which is in the garage) and I went inside to make Esai a bottle, so he wouldn't cry on the way to drop off Erico at school. So when I went inside, I could not find the nipple for the bottle, so at that very moment I decided that I would finally take the bottle aways from Esai. So I put his milk on a sippy cup and off we were to school!

I should have known better to at least wait until the weekend or a day I didn't have to work to start this task that I have been wanting to do for a few months now. As soon it was nap time, which usually is about 11:00, I gave him a sippy cup to see if it would settle him down, well......it didn't! He cried for at least 30 minutes even though it felt like hours. Finally I went to the car and put him in his car seat and turned the car on. I sat there for about 5 minutes and off to dream land he went.

With Esai, he has to be somewhere that he can not just get up to play when it is nap time, or he will not fall asleep. So I went back into the office and laid him down and tried to finish the 1 of 3 things that I had to get done. Finally at about 1:45 I finished my first task, which usually takes me 30 - 45 minutes! Then my mom got to the office and when the clients got their for the documents I had prepared, I had made some mistakes, so while I was trying to fix them, Elkin drops an empty can of Ginger Ale on the floor and woke Esai up. Eventually my mom had to make the corrections and thank goodness that she was not upset with me (she must have seen how stressed out I was).

I finally left the office in a hurry to pick up Erico from school. We went to the park after we picked up Erico and I relaxed for a few minutes watching them all play when it started to rain.

Well, I finally made it home and my house is a mess and I have to start cooking dinner and cleaning and have Erico sit at the table to start his reading work. As soon as Gil gets home, I am going to try to squeeze in some Yoga so that I do not go crazy!

Things will get better, I know they will and tomorrow will be a new day!

HAPPY MONDAY!
