Not so perfect morning

This morning was a hectic one.  Really, it was not all that different than any other morning but stuff just kept going wrong.  As I mentioned earlier, we are not morning people.  We woke up a little late today and this started a chain reaction.  Waking up late leads to lots of rushing around, disoriented kids, yelling parents, crying kids and even more lateness… well in our house anyway.  The kids got up, ate and dressed themselves okay but after this it went downhill quick.  I went one way in the kitchen, and Drew went another and he ran right into my butt with his face.  Of course he was hurt to the point of crying by this and I had to take time to console him.  We laughed about him hitting me in the butt and he got over it.  Still late though.  Addison went into a crying fit over being told to tie her shoes.  More consoling, more lateness.  I tried to make a cup of coffee for the car ride to school and I never put a cup under the Keurig.  I made an entire cup of coffee into the drip tray!  We finally got loaded into the car and off to school.  I had to run to the store to buy some birthday cards so after I dropped off Addison the little kids and I went to the Hallmark store.  Of course it did not open until 10 and it was only 9.  K mart was right next door so we went in there.  Allie was still in pajamas but I figured that kind of thing happens in K mart all the time.  We picked out 4 cards, one for my mother in law (whose birthday was 5 days ago) one for my step mother (whose birthday is next week but I actually remembered in the card aisle) and 2 back up cards so I won’t forget next time.  I got to the check out and realized I had no wallet.  I had to load up the kids and leave empty handed.  The card is already late… what is another day?  Let’s hope the rest of the day goes a little better than this morning.
