Today is one of those days I wish I could rewind and start over.
It started with the typical problem, alarm not going off (we really need a new one) and all of us waking up late. Then I have to rush around before natasha wakes up to get alex's breakfast and lunch ready, only there's no bowls because we had icecream last night, and we only own 3 bowls. This leaves me to wonder, what the heck happened to the third bowl???
Then just as finish Alex's breakfast and he's trying to iron his shirt as quickly as possible, letting out repeated profanties as he burns his fingers in his haste. I find my daughter has soiled her bed, her linens, her nappy..her hair...well it's a dissaster. I guess that happens when you change your daughters nappy right before she goes to bed and in her 10 hours of sleep she not only pees but poops too.
The nappy was litterally falling apart, and she's screaming, and there's weird pee crystals that look like ice all over her, and i feel like a horrible mom for letting this happen and I want to just scream like she's screaming because I need to pee too, unfortunatly I don't have a nappy or even a second of my time to do that.
So then I plop my naked daughter in the bath thinking I'll clean her that way, however she decided to pee again, On Me, while I carried her to the short trip to the bathroom. Only to find out there is no hot water, which means I can't clean a bowl for my husband, but worse, I can't clean my pee crystalized daughter. (Not to mention the pee she deposited on me on the way to the bathroom)
So in come the baby wipes, and there stands a shivering, sick, just-awake baby, not entirerly sure why I have her in a bath with out water. Of course she screams. And when my daughter belts out that high pitched squeal every person for 3 kilometers can hear her.
At this point I'm ready to cry or pull my hair out, or both. All I wanted to do was clean my daughter and myself. We havn't even mentioned the bedroom I will have to clean too. And worse alex is already dressed, so what can he do? Get pee on himself and go to work smelling like he didn't bathe. I don't think so.
In the end, all I could do was take a deep breath, laugh and just shake my head.
I wish I could rewind the day and just start it all over. lol.
At least now, the water is warm, I've been the bathroom, the baby is fed and not screaming, my husband is not late for work, and finnally I can breathe.
