Ty is down for a nap, and I really should be resting too, but I can't keep my crazy morning a secret.
Jeff left for the airport at 4 am, which in itself wasn't too bad (for me anyway, he might feel differently).
The real chaos started when Lucas's ride didn't come. We waited and waited. He sent a few texts, nothing. I don't mind running the kids into school, except Ty was still sleeping and the other two kids needed to get ready for school. Thankfully my dad was able to take Lucas in. Woo hoo! The morning is saved.
Or so I thought.
I was putting Ali's hair in pony tails and noticed the bus drive by on it's way to the first stop (our neighbor). AACK! He's a little early and we're a little late. At this point I'm hoping the bus waits a few minutes at the first stop since he's a little early. I call to Larson to get his shoes on while I finish Ali's hair. No such luck with the bus. The neighbor girl gets on and he's driving to our house. The kids are in a panic. Ali grabs her shoes and runs outside. Larson starts running around yelling, and I quickly get him under control so I can finish tying his shoes and get his hoodie on. As I'm finishing up with Larson I hear Ali yelling "wait! we're having a problem here!" OMG The bus driver is going to think we have a medical emergency and call an ambulance or something. I gather up Ali's hoodie and backpack and run outside to get her ready and notice the neighbor girl had gotten off the bus to see what all the commotion is about. She's calming Ali and trying to help her get her shoes on. Needless to say, I was glad when the kids were on the bus. I said a little prayer that the rest of the day goes a little better.
Where was Ty during all this? He found Larson's cereal bowl full of milk on the ottoman in the livingroom and helped himself. Considering he doesn't feed himself yet, he did a pretty good job with the spoon. After all the commotion, I was so thankful Ty was being quiet, I didn't mind wiping up a little bit of spilled milk. Honestly, I could laugh through the whole incident because I knew we'd be OK. It was just one of those mornings.
So far the rest of the day has gone relatively smoothly. Yay!
Now it's time for this momma to take a nap!
