What a day!

Ugh! So, yeah, I had a terrible day today. I woke up crabby as heck for no apparent reason, only to be rushed to the shower to get ready to take Gabe to the dentist to get his poor little teefers drilled lol. The dentist is 30 minutes away, and his appointment was at 10:30. At 9:30 I told Ragan & Gabe to get their shoes on while I finished blowing my hair out. I finally get done and it's 10:00 and I'm feeling so great that I actually got ready in time .... WRONG! Gabe is still barefoot.

ME: "where's your shoes?"
GABE: "ummm right here" (he's holding only 1 sandal)
ME: "where's the other one?"
GABE: "ummmm I think someone stole it!"
ME: "don't be ridiculous! where is your shoe? where did you take it off?"
GABE: "no really mommy! a monster came while you were in the shower and he took my shoe!"

Ok, now I'm getting mad! LOL I search high & low for the freaking thing .... it's has literally vanished from the face of the earth! In the mean time my precious driving time is ticking away insuring that I'll be late. So I go into the closet, dig out his sneakers only to find that I can't find any socks which is bizarre since he hasn't worn any since spring! OK, no problem, let's raid big brother's drawer. Hmmm .... no socks there either. What's a girl to do?? I went to look in Ragan's drawer. She has socks out the wazoo! Only thing is, she doesn't own any white socks LOL they are all pink or purple or have flowers or hearts. Guess what? Macho man Gabe wore pink socks today!!

The dentist appointment went well, but the whole shoe/sock episode just threw my whole day off kilter & I couldn't seem to get it back! The kids were supposed to clean their rooms when they got home, but of course that didn't happen so I spent all afternoon nagging & I HATE that!

I'm going to curl up in bed & pull the covers over my head and hope that tomorrow's a better day.
