The first culprit
After the kids ate their breakfast, I heard someone leaving a message on our house machine. See our phone doesn't work, but the machine does and I keep forgetting to just buy a new house phone. I had to step over a baby gate to get into the office so I could hear the message. When I went to step over the gate, I didn't lift my foot high enough and proceeded to get my toe stuck. Needless to say, the baby gate and I came crashing to the floor. Mena just stared at me and I sat there for a minute in pain.
The second culprit
The rest of the morning consisted of crying, screaming, Mena stealing things from Xander, Mena freaking out because Xander kept touching her and then Xander spit up on me. It was a rough day. Now I call my mom about every day, she keeps me sane. I called her to relay how bad my day had been and she responded with "you think your day is bad, there's a squirrel staring at me right now from the ceiling." She wasn't kidding, but I just started laughing. Whether she realized it or not, I really needed that and I know she is probably not happy that I'm blogging about it. But mom, it made me feel so much better and I think we all need humor like that some days.
(I just think this is funny, but not what my mom saw)
The day proceeded to get a little better, except I had to irrigation because Nick was at work. When I looked out the window after I opened up the valve, I saw ducks in our front yard. We live in the desert and no where near a pond or lake, so seeing ducks was so weird to me.
I survived yesterday and hopefully this post can boost your spirits a little and help you survive today.
That looks just like the squirell enjoying himself in my living room! We did assist him in leaving this evening, with a broom!
