I Hate Mornings Like This

I woke up at 6:30 to Lucy screaming. Thinking she's probably pooped everywhere again I went and got her. She never stopped screaming all morning. Neil was home and she didn't even stop for him so he put her back in her crib and left. No she is not sick and does not have an earache, she is just extremely onery some mornings and I never know what sets her off. While I'm trying to block out her yelling Sammy comes upstairs to inform me that Jaxson has just thrown up. Great all over my new carpet. Luckily most of it made it into the bathroom. It's gross enough cleaning up your own puke or your kids but another child's is gut wrenching. I don't think Jaxson is sick. He ate two huge bowls of strawberry frosted miniwheats with a glass of milk and orange juice then immediately went downstairs with Sam to exercise on the treadmill. So I'm sure he was running at 10 mph and it was too much on a full stomach. On my way up the stairs I hear Conner say uh oh. He just spilled his big bowl of cereal all over the floor and rug. He just left it there and with only 10 minutes left before school and he still needed to take a shower I just barked at him to hurry and take a shower and get dressed. He made it to school on time and the kids are now watching movie and Lucy's stopped screaming. I better make the cupcakes I had planned for the funeral today. I was hoping to take the kids to the library for storytime and then to the splash pad but I just don't know if I'm up to wrangling up all these kids in public. Luckily it's going to be a nice day outside so I'll probably have to venture out.
