Emmy and The Terrible, Horrible, No Good Very Bad Day

The kids were going back to school yesterday.  So I thought I would be smart and set my alarm ten minutes early to give me some extra time.

I was having an awesome amazing dream- when my alarm went off.   This was going to be a terrible, horrible, no good very bad day.

I went downstairs to find Lucas already up and playing the computer- the other two were still asleep.

I found the backpacks, lunch boxes and coats.  I was ahead of the game.

I decided I would unload the dishwasher.  I opened it up- and saw it was full of dirty dishes.   This was going to be a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.

I figured I had better wash the dishes and grabbed the dish soap and got it started.

Ryder woke up soon followed by Alex.

I asked what they wanted for breakfast.  Ryder wanted pop-tarts- they were all gone.  This was going to be a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.

I went to pack Alex's snack only to see bubbles on the floor- I opened the dishwasher and bubbles came pouring out.  Alex yelled 'what happened!?'.  I realized I had put in dish soap and not dishwasher soap.  This was going to be a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.
I got a spoon and started scooping the bubbles.  I would scoop and dump into the sink as the bubbles continued to grow.  I stepped backwards only to have my sock get all wet.

This was going to be a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.

We managed to get through breakfast, got everyone dressed, and were ready to head out the door.

"You didn't pack my snack!" Lucas called.
"You forgot to put a drink in my snack!" Alex called.

I hurriedly packed Lucas snack and grabbed Alex a drink.  I looked at the clock to see it was 15 minutes later than when we are supposed to leave.

This was a horrible, terrible, no good, very bad day.   And you know what- I bet they have days like this, even in Australia.


Since it is Tuesday I am linking up with some other great Tuesday meme's.  IA and Shawn's Talk to Us Tuesday and Stacy Uncorked's Random Tuesday

  18. I wonder why, when days start out like that, they almost ALWAYS continue down that path?! Crazy!

  19. My mom and dad used dish liquid in a laundromat washer when they were on an RVing vacation. What a mess! They laughed about it later, and I bet that laundromat floor was never so clean as it was that day!
