Well my morning completely fell apart.

Could someone please explain to me how four different alarm clocks all failed to go off in my house this morning?!? How is this possible???

Both of my kids have alarms in their rooms. Both were set, neither went off. Quite often my Daughter sets a second alarm on her phone because she is such a deep sleeper. (I forgot to ask her if she had one set last night.) I have one on my nightstand. I checked, it was set, but didn’t go off. And the Husband always sets his on his phone and then leaves it in the bathroom or somewhere else which will force him to stand up, get out of bed, and go turn it off. Not this morning though. The alarms just didn’t go off. All was quiet and calm and everyone was in a deep deep sleep….

Until 7:43 a.m. when my Son comes in my room and pats me on the back, then points at the clock, and we all start to panic.

His bus comes at 7:15. Whoops missed that.

Four people. Two bathrooms. Super stressed and in a hurry. Not a good plan.

We still have a guy coming to the house everyday to paint and remodel. He normally comes around 9am which is the very latest that I can show up to work without getting into major trouble. So basically the kids had 20 minutes before they had to be at School (including drive time) and I had an hour before I had to be at work.

Of course I was too tired to do the dishes last night. So they were piled in the sink. And since the remodel guy NEEDS that sink to wash out rollers etc., I had to unload the clean dishwasher and reload/start it again with last nights dishes. *Check*

We have two dogs now. (Another story for another day about acquiring Dog#2.) So both dogs had to be let out and then fed. *Check*

Dog #2 sheds. A LOT! Add that shedding onto Dog #1′s slight shedding and the cat’s shedding and this means that someone HAS to sweep/vacuum the floors at least twice a day. Normally before bed and before we leave for work in the mornings. Well, guess what didn’t get done last night?! That’s right. So guess what HAD to be done this morning?! Oh yeah. Floors swept … *Check*

Today was Trash Day … gotta take out the trash. *Check*

You know how some mornings it’s okay not to shower. Some mornings you can just double up on deodorant and deal with day old hair somehow? Not the case this morning. I HAD to shower. I HAD to wash my hair. I HAD to shave my legs or I simply was not going to make it through the day. I did compromise with myself and wore my hair curly since the straightening process alone takes over 30 minutes no matter how much I hurry. Take a shower, shave my legs, dry my hair, put on my makeup AND get dressed in 26 minutes … *Check*

Panic because there are wet towels and dishrags everywhere and when I open up the washer OF COURSE there is a wet load that didn’t get switched last night. OF COURSE THERE IS. Luckily, the dryer was empty, so switch laundry and start a new load … *Check*

Kid #1 got to School at 8:11. He’s a boy. He’s faster. My Husband is a SAINT and took him.
Kid #2 got to School at 8:30. She’s a girl. Takes longer. My Husband is a SAINT and made two trips.
Husband got to work shortly after 8:30.
I rolled through the door at work at 8:52.

Whew. What a morning. I need a nap.
