I will start off by saying. The kids were considerably good, for the circumstances.
This morning my day started at 5:45 am. Micah work up, yikes, way to early for a girl and her mom to be up for the day. So I finally got her to bed at 6:20.
6:55 - Tyler awake
7:15 - Tyler up and out of bed
7:30 - Micah awake and feeding her and Tyler eating is breakfast (bye bye daddy)
9:40 - Micah acting tired and attempted to put her to bed - cried and cried until about 10:20, I could do nothing to get her to bed. Gave her a bottle then she fell asleep.
10:30 - 10:45 - is Micah sick, does she have a ear infection (that is the way she acted last time she had one - woke up early, would not take naps) do I call the dr? Do I wait? She has had a runny nose. Tyler's been sick too.
10:45 - called the dr - get her here by 11:15 - dr is only in, in the morning. Do I wake her and take her? Do I not? What if she has ear infections? Tonight will be horrible? What is she doesn't? It will be such a waste of time and energy? Did I mention it take 35 min to get to the dr? What do I do?
10:50 Get Tyler ready to go to the dr, pack a bag, bottle, banana, etc.
11:00 wake Micah and take her to the dr.
11:25 arrive at the dr's (speeding the whole way, obviously) - wait to see the dr. NO EAR INFECTIONS - Arg what a waste. We so badly needed to do something besides see a dr today - go to the mom and tots group. Go to a park, something. By this time it's 12:15.
12:15 - leave the dr. I think, I'll take a different route, see if it's quicker - ROAD CLOSED. I had to turn around and take an even longer route. Also did I mention, I was starving by this point.
12:35/12:40 - Micah falls asleep in the car - which isn't bad, but when will she nap again next - nap schedule totally screwed up for the day. Tyler - is doing GREAT - eating his banana in the back of the car talking about all the trucks we are passing.
12:50 - home. Tyler screaming because he wants his Grandma at this house. Not today Tyler, In two days, not today.
12:55 - I scarf down food. We must get out of the house and do something fun.
1:00 - Tyler is in the stroller ready to go to the park. I have to pack a snack for him, lunch for Micah, and water - where is a water bottle? I couldn't find one I just put some water in a cup. (not a good idea, every bump makes water bounce out of the cup and spill all over Tyler)
1:05 - I realize that Micah has pooped - I have to change her.
At this point - I have lost track of time.
1:20 - we are finally at the park. Tyler is playing on the slide happily by himself - yeah. I'm feeding Micah - yeah. Things are looking up. yeah.
1:30 - Tyler and Micah on the swings. I am trying to be funny and goofy. When Tyler swings towards me I am smiling really big and say booga booga boo (funny huh?). What was I thinking, I was NOT thinking. Bang - the metal part of the swing whacks me in the tooth - man that hurt. I piece of tooth falls out in my mouth. YES - I chipped my tooth - WHAT? I chipped my tooth? OH - MAN. I looked at my reflection in my phone - yep you can definitely tell I chipped my FRONT tooth - OH NO!!!
1:40 - call dentist get appointment for tomorrow at 8:00 am
1:45 call dave and tell him the sad news.
1:50 - pack up the kids to leave. I cannot take another moment!!!
2:05 - home. Unpack the kids. Everyone MUST get to bed. Oh yeah - Tyler asking about his Grandma again.
2:15 - Micah in bed crying and standing and crying. Not sleeping.
2:15 - Tyler refusing to go potty before nap time
2:20 - reading Tyler only 5 pages from his book - leave the room very quickly
2:20 - Micah crying and standing
2:25- Talking to Dave - he reassured me that we would do whatever we could to make sure my tooth gets fixed. Yeah - because he doesn't want to be married to a chipped tooth hillbilly the rest of his life :)
2:30 - Micah asleep and Tyler upstairs chatting to himself in his room. Resting nicely.
CURRENTLY. My tooth feels weird. My right side of by neck is killing me (from my left tooth being whacked). So after two weeks of chiropractic appointments and $120, they are going to have to do more work on me - ALL because I was just trying to make Tyler laugh.
Here's hoping and praying for the rest of the day to be less eventful and disastrous.

YOu poor girl!!! The days you try to be your best and you get this!!! I am praying for you right now!!! What a dday!
Just awful. And comforting to read, since I have had a few calamitous days like that. I tell myself it's no big deal, but when all of the little catastrophes add up, I just want to crawl under the bed. Add to that a chipped tooth, and wah!
I saw from FB that your tooth is looking good again. Yay for that. Did you have a little pleasant "me-time" at the dentist's office? Nothing like preferring a dentist's drill to time at home with the kids to make a mom realize it's time for a break. Not that I have had that happen or anything.
first--kara, i didn't know you had a blog!
second--what a day. thank sweet jesus all days aren't like that? days like this make me really really want to look into that 'trade kids for a day' idea i had at the mall the other day...hhmmmm.
how is your tooth now??
