"Mama Said There'll Be Days Like This"

I should have known how this day would go from the moment it started. I woke up late, did a mad dash around the house and managed to get my coffee made and ingested enough to get my eyes to the partially open status. I threw on one of my favorite outfits- a very short charcoal grey dress, black tights and my amazingly hot black boots. I say amazingly hot because I routinely get stopped in public, (or yelled to from a car) by people telling me how bangin' they really are and to inquire as to where it was I purchased these lovely four inch-heeled, cuffed and buckled masterpieces! I also love this outfit because not only does it look fantastic, it is one of the most comfortable outfits I own, perfect for a Friday! I managed to throw on some make-up, pull my hair back and look reasonably pulled together considering the amount of time I actually had to get ready!

Much to my dismay, I had to wake up both of my babies who were sleeping like angels. I hate having to wake them up, and they hate even more that they were so rudely awakened by a blast of below-freezing air as we stepped out the door! I carried Aidan out first, who promptly started screaming that he wanted to go back inside the house and lay down in his bed. Then came princess, who kept rubbing her eyes, covering them with her hand, and then peeking out- as if somehow in the interim while her eyes were closed she would open them and magically be back in her cozy bed. After four or five attempts at this, she realized it was indeed reality and started to cry.

I managed to get the kids dropped off and made it to work only five minutes late. There have been nothing but disasters to field and more paperwork than I even know what to do with. I have now been here since 8:35 AM and have gotten up from my desk exactly once... and I still have 2 hours left. I am irritable, tired and hungry. Hmmm... speaking of hungry- I still have to figure out what we are having for dinner. And go to the store and get everything to make it. And then go pick up the kids. And then go home and make it. FML TGIF.
