I should put a warning label on this post as it might be viewed at ranting and ravings of a mad woman, because that's how I felt yesterday. It started out like most everyday, girls slept in a little later than usual but they have both dropped a nap and have been pretty tired so it didn't seem too out of place. After they woke up and diapers were changed (someday that won't be plural anymore) I was taking the diapers out to the trash when I opened the door to the carport and as I looked down, something caught my eye. I was so unprepared for the reality of what sat before me as I don't have any pets that I know of...but there it was a mouse head. No body, just the head...I'll spare you the details as I'm trying to forget. I think I should've taken it as a sign for how the rest of the day would go.
AFter Ady left we had lunch and got McKenna ready for school and her first day on the bus. She actually started school on Monday-I dropped Tyler off at a friends and then I took her to Daffodil and met her teacher Christen Robinson. I was pleasantly surprised at McKenna's excitement to be going to school and it never disapated. Even when I told her I was leaving she gave me a hug and then waved good-bye and never gave it a 2nd thought. It was AWESOME! Anyway as we waited for the bus the time passed and at 10 minutes before class was to start I realized that the bus wasn't coming. Still in my pajamas I threw the kids in the car, grabbed my sunglasses because it's like a mask and no one will know who I am and we headed to school. Luckily one of the teachers assistants was outside to take McKenna in, never thought to ask why, was just happy we didn't have to walk through the school.
By the time John got home, which was really quite early my nerves and patience were shot. I feel bad for my family and Braden who had come over to help because "witch" is the only thing I can think of to describe my behavior. The only thing I can say is there's hope because "tomorrow is another day."
How is this for the best bedhead ever? That's my Ragamuffin!
The shining light of my day was my friend Ady who called and wanted to come visit, bringing with her Hot Chocolate and a slice of pumpkin both from Starbucks. It was so good to see her, and although a nice chat between friends was what we were hoping to get out of the visit my kids had other plans. McKenna spent most of the morning in her room because she's struggling with the concept of sharing and then although given the option to leave she stayed screaming, crying, and throwing a tantrum (aka toys, shoes, blankets whatever she could get her hands on). We haven't been through this in over a month and I have to admit I haven't missed it.

SO, I should look at your blog more often...to see all the changes! :)
Darlin' if this is your ranting...you're a good woman. :) You said dead animal...you didn't say dead head. I think just the one body part is tons worse than the whole thing. yeah, I am done. GAG. okay now.
I'm thinking we'll be stopping by tomorrow...if you'll have us! :)
AW. . . melanie. . . Don't you just "hate" those days. . . but to be truthful I didn't feel a lot of ranting. But hey writing about it probably helped you. Ew. . . about the head. I don't even want to think about that. Well hopefully Today has gone a lot better. Usually after having a bad day it's over and you wont have one for a while :O) I love the new pics of the girls!
I know how those days go. Sometimes Cam will spend half of his day in time out screaming at the top of his lungs. Makes you want to pull your hair out! I hope the next few days have been better : )
