October 13th "THE UNPUBLISHED POST" This was probably the most post worthy morning that I pulled into the driveway to take a deep breath and journal this. I literally just got my butt kicked by 4 kids this morning up and down all around, in and out of the ring (the kitchen) to the mat room (living room) to the unreachable (over the gates) to the locker room (bathrooms) to the escape vehicle (moms suv) to the break room (daycare) there wasn't a place or thing that didn't effect someone or something this morning. Was there something in the air or must of been the haircuts I gave everyone last night?!? I reflect that Christian must have sleep walked there was multiple places he had blankets and was puzzled where he woke up hmmm..., then Dominic was so upset at midnight that he threw up (try cleaning one bed ninja style without waking up the other twin almost near impossible), then Easton up early lost a blanket out of his crib, so tried to get breakfast started he wanted a waffle that when I got it he wanted a pancake that upset more when I told him I'm out of bisquick to wanting the cream cheese and not the bagel to the wrong sippy cup to I cleaned up his toys to not wanting a pull-up diaper because I forgot I gave my backup diapers to the daycare so all I had was pull ups, they were thank God the Jake kind and the never land something lol, epic war to even change his clothes sent Christian and him to battle more in the basement so I could get back to the twins trying to even get them in high chairs with arching backs, kicking feet to throwing on a utube video to catch everyone's attention, 50% of them liked the video I picked out, then grabbed some fruit which Dominic loved but didn't see it coming when Bennett pushed the fruit and all the sticky yummy juice back on me and the floor, then back to Easton he has not eaten at this point and didn't not want the blue shoes or the black shoes so screw it no shoes then (this is probably why you see some kids half way dressed with no shoes it's not mamas lack of effort), so ok Christian get dressed to hey it's not summer go get something warmer to please fix your hair to oh no bus is going to be here RUN!! So if you see the boy not dressed for the weather it's mine! Back to Easton finally Aric got him in the vehicle who was still screaming and could hear him from outside the vehicle and who decides to unbuckle and keep getting out of his car seat (deep breathes) get him back in and fetch the twins who watch Easton in bewilderment as he screams and kicks and kicks and screams so what do they decide to do kick and scream and arch their backs as I'm trying to get them in their car seats. Now 45 minutes later :( I'm down to Easton left who is hysterical and keeps getting out of his seat- I CRY! Everything gets quiet...I
keep crying. It's that moment you have done everything you could have possibly done to get out of the house and it was an epic failure. We arrived at daycare with sniffling noses, red eyes and crusted snot on the faces. I did a quick check in my mirror at my Uncombed hair, unchanged clothes, my unwashed face and my unbrushed teeth and wiped the tears from my eyes- I'm as good as I'll ever be at this movement! The battles of motherhood by 9:12am as I write this. This remained un-posted until now because the lawn care guys blowing leaves interrupted my attention and I bounced out of the car to quickly jump in the business of the day.I remembered to post this as the day has been long but the years are sure to be short so I'm choosing to cherish this day of all days!
