I needed to go back to bed...(SERIOUSLY!)

So where do I begin? What a day it has been so far. I just felt it when I woke up this morning. I KNEW something was going to happen. I never thought it would get this bad! So here it goes. . .

Two weeks ago I started wearing a NTI at night to help with my headaches. Gosh, it has really really helped with the headaches (I admit, I was doubtful), but I wake up with such a dirty yuck taste in my mouth and my teeth hurt for the 1st 10 minutes or so. I think it is a good trade to eliminate the headaches so I won't complain. But this morning I just got so sick. I couldn't get the taste out and my teeth were just simply aching! I wanted to crawl back in bed, but yeah right, like that was going to happen.  So I got up and got the boys' their breakfast and then it was time to get Allen up. He had a doctor's appointment this morning and was running late.

I totally forgot it was Monday and the girls would be here in an hour and a half. YIKES!! I was not prepared. I had run out of laundry detergent and my clothes are piled up and and the dishes were typically not done due to another crazy Sunday. So I get to work and get ready and go check on the boys. Jaxon asked me to "fix" one of his guys. So little carpenter fix-it mom me, I try to do it with the help of a butter knife. Allen then comes in during this from the doctor and he had bad news. I was listening to him and not really paying attention and I slip and the knife jabs into my hand. I started screaming and running to the bathroom. Our boys started going nuts after they hear me and the wonderful red color is flowing everywhere. It really freaked them out and Allen too. I was just screaming in pain and really just shocked. I have NEVER done something so stupid and careless. Gosh, at least not in front of the boys. Well of course it is in a place that I just can't get a butterfly band-aid to stick so I am trying to decide if I need to get stitches. It's kind of bad.

Well 20 mins later the girls arrive and I'm one-handed with 5 kids under the age of 5. (pray!! LOL) Allen leaves to meet a woman to sell some stuff (I love craigslist!). He calls and says he just got a ticket. His first in 8 years and that he is praying that things get better. He then calls 30 mins later andsays he is still trying to find the lady he was meeting. He is now frustrated and has a huge meeting today and he is losing focus. Just great!! That's what I needed to hear as Asher falls out of his chair while eating and our Vonage box quit working, so our phones are down and my cell only works upstairs and the kids are playing downstairs. lol

Seriously, I guess you just have to laugh, even as I am writing this one handed and it is taking me an hour or so. Some days are just meant to be tough, so that you know a great day when you are living it. Well I just pray the Lord has realized that I am trying to survive this and get to a GREAT one!! Just pray for us and that our night goes a bit better. LOL :)
