5. Putting the kids down to bed when it's still light. They hate it.
4. Forgetting to make dinner until it gets dark which is now too late to be starting dinner.
3. Having to watch the kids in the front yard now for a longer period of time.
2. It gives me a premature case of spring fever, but we're stuck with winter weather.
1. WAKING UP AND IT'S STILL DARK!
Today the Mr. and I were awakened by the oldest who started with a "Wow, I really slept in." which normally would be great but today was a work day and YIKES! we all slept in. Husband and I practically ro-sham-bo'ed for the shower. I let him have it.* I threw on some clothes and slicked back my greasy hair, slapped on some make-up and my BIG hoop earrings, hoping to distract from my slick hair, grabbed a lunch and ran out the door.
I thought, Ha! Five minutes to get ready and I look great! until I was greeted at the door by a 6 year old who put me in my place. "Mrs. C., WHY do you look so weird today? And what's up with those huge, weird earrings?"
Guess not.
By 9 am I was almost legally dead so I called my mom and she brought me some coffee. Yes, I'm spoiled but really, it was a matter of life and death at this point. And it was in her best interest to go ahead and bring me the coffee. If I had died, she would have been stuck with my kids for who knows how long. Brewing the coffee and packing the kids up to come down the street and deliver it was the right choice. I mean, did you see my Ode to Coffee post?
*it's way more embarrassing t o be the wife of the stinky person than to actually be the stinky person. Plus, I work with kids. They always stink worse.
