ste_noniand so far this morning I:
1. Woke up 20 minutes late
2. Had to fight with Ellie to get her hair brushed and her teeth brushed. There was some refusal, crying, screaming, hitting (on her part), and crying for Daddy (who is in Atlanta)
3. Forgot to take Frisco's milk out of the freezer. This meant I was driving trying to melt it in my hands.
4. left the house 10 minutes late but arrived at daycare 20 minutes late.
5. This isn't working as a list anymore but when we arrived at daycare, it was 7:50 and Ellie was the last kid to get breakfast. Actually, there was none left, but they had the cook send some more for her. Which is fine except that she had been telling me how hungry she was in the car and I had not given her anything to eat before we left because we were in such a rush. So I wanted to just make sure she got a breakfast sandwich before I left. (I couldn't imagine Maritza would not feed her but the mom in me was concerned that she get something to eat.)
5. But Frisco was late for breakfast too although it's not such a big deal in his room because there are only 5 kids. So I leave Ellie more quickly than I like to get Frisco to his room. I get him settled in and
6. His teacher, Carmen, asks me if my shirt is on inside out. Which it totally is! I change in their little closet and
7. Run back to Ellie's room to make sure she is eating. The tables are actually all cleaned up and she's over playing with the sand. She seems fine but Maritza happens to stick her head out. I ask just to be sure Ellie ate and she says yes. I couldn't tell if she was concerned about something else or irritated by my asking, but either way, I felt like I was adding to her workload.
8. Then I get in the car, see that Julie has called. As we are talking, she starts asking me about something from last week. I didn't screw it up exactly, but I forgot that she likes to handle this thing a certain way and I'm trying to do it her way because they are her clients. So now I'm going to spend today trying to do what I didn't do last week. I"m kind of irritated with myself because this isn't the first time I've done this kind of thing and I really should be better at it. I'm not sure why...
9. It's only 8:30 am and I already have this tight stressed feeling in my sternum.
