It started off badly when I overslept. Thankfully we didn't have any appointments but if I don't get up early, get to the gym or to Starbucks, or just get myself composed before the kids get up, then everything just seems downhill from there.
Mack throws a fit after Abe leaves for work. So as he is screaming Daddy!!!, I am trying to get Grace hooked up to the e-stim machine. Sophie is trying to help. Grace is screaming NO!! Finally get her electrodes on and wrapped into ace bandages and into the stander. Mack climbs on the stander and Sophie tries to get her out of the stander. 30 minutes later we get her out and attached her to a board to work on tummy time. She is still screaming "NO" while Mack and Sophie are fighting over a blanket. "MINE!!! I WANT IT!!!" So, I start screaming, "THERE ARE 2 BLANKETS, GET YOUR OWN AND WORK IT OUT!!" while I'm trying to convince Grace that the being attached to this board is really fun. Then Mack crawls on my back screaming "Thomas Thomas" Now Grace wants the "Barn Book". Do we have a barn book?!!?
So, now my hands are shaking and I'm about to stick my head in the oven Sylvia Plath style...and that's my morning.

I wish I could tell you some incredibly profound thing to make it better; sometimes it just is what it is...
But I will join you in the oven Sylvia... love, J
Jac- seriously...I wish I could just leave work today and we could walk to Gloria's...soon we will, I swear. BUT- I am coming over today because Annie is out of town so no bootcamp!
Been there, been there, been there and it ain't fun! Like my mom used to tell me, "that's why God makes them cute because, otherwise, you'd open the front door and let them out".
The day can only get better! I hope!

You gotta love mornings like that! NOT! Been there...more times then I can count. I really wished we lived closer so we could hang out and have play dates. :)
I know, I know, I shouldn't have laughed, but this was funny. I could just see it. Anyway, please don't stick your head in the oven because it will singe your eyebrows! LOL You're doing a great job and those kids are adorable.
Love,
Ni
sorry but I have to laugh. You are so darn funny. But I can only begin to understand how difficult it must be with 3 the same age! Heck I have a hard enough time with Daniel and the electrodes...and he knows that the stretches and tummy time ARE NOT FUN! And from the looks and protests I get from him, he's saying "Just wait, paybacks are a *Bleep*!) But relax, you're an awesome mom and you should be proud of yourself!
