In an effort to be real in front of the many of you who don’t see me in real life, I would like to follow up last Wednesday’s and Thursday’s post with what I meant to blog on Friday, but never had the time. Here is what I would’ve said:
“I hit snooze so many times that I slept (well, half-slept) through working out. And half-sleeping through working out is way worse than whole-sleeping through it because you haven’t worked out and you’re not really that much more rested.
I not only slept through working out, but I crawled back into bed after telling the night nurse good-bye and half-slept through the time I should’ve been showering and waking up the kids. I finally got my rear out of bed in time to hurry Natalie through breakfast and getting dressed (and thankfully I remembered to make her a lunch) and get her out the door only to make it to school a minute late.
I was in the spandex pants I’d slept in, a t-shirt, and a dirty sweatshirt. I was wearing slippers. I made quite a fashion statement… one that should never be made again, if you know what I mean.
I sent Natalie in with a few kids who were straggling in ahead of her and hoped she wouldn’t get in trouble. Yikes! Bad mom.
I managed to get some work done during the day on Friday, but not as much as I wanted to. But enough. However, I didn’t manage to get a shower until after the kids were home… But at least I took one. I’m hearing a lot of ‘buts’. (And now I’m hearing Natalie say, “Mom, you said a bad word.. butt!”)
We had leftovers for dinner. My favorite.
So there, now you know there are days I don’t wake up early to work out, have meds waiting by 8 o’clock, and lunches made before the kids are awake. In fact, there are many days I only get 2 out of 3 of those things done before the kids are awake. And many days where Ryan doesn’t get his 8 o’clock meds until almost 9 o’clock.
Can we still be friends?

I just have to laugh at your fashion statment. Its a LAW around here in these parts if you are a fashion nightmare, your teeth are not brushed yet and morning breath is (lets face it deadly) someone comes to the door from church or the lawn guy wants to chat. I cower behind the door and stammer out a few words and then rush myself in to somthing more acceptable and berate myself for dragging my “Bumper”..Well what I am saying I have WAY too many of those days each week..
I did this last week too and only felt a teeny bit guilty. When you’re a stay at home mom, you never get a day off. Give yourself a break!
I’ll still be your friend…..and knowing my personality I’ll try and fix your delays with a chart on when to get up and what to do for that day….Do YOU still want to friends ? ***grin***
John and I are retired and we even do things like that sometimes when we are just “out of it”! ha!
We are in our PJ’s until we go out for the day….and sometimes I don’t go out…so what does that tell ya! (:>)
You are still top of the list in my book. I think you are terrific!
Love ya,
