What a day!!!


So you all know how much I LOVE DIET COKE, right? Well, lets just say this is why I NEED IT!!! This is just a taste of the joy that my sweet little Jack is...today all this happened between 2:45-7:30
Jack woke from his nap at 2:45, I was working on some things on the computer while he was asleep. I had a diet coke and sat it on the Kitchen counter before going to get him out of his crib.
I had like 5 mins to get him up and head out the door to get Isabel from school. (letting Jack sleep as LONG as possible is a MUST) So we ran downstairs and I went to the kitchen to get him some more milk. As I was pouring the milk, I hear more splashing sound. I look over and Jack has a happy little grin on his face and is pouring out the rest of an at least 3/4 full can of DIET COKE all over the floor!!!! I then go to grab it out of his hand and he flips it back...so now I have Diet Coke everywhere! AHHHH!!! So quick clean up before he decides to step in it and play. Then rush to get Isabel. As we are leaving in a mad dash, Jack is screaming..."MaQueen, MaQueen"...so run back into get the precious cars!

So we are driving to school and he wants his milk, so I hand it to him. It was not seconds later that he is drinking it and spitting it out. AHHHH! AGAIN!! Get Isabel from school, run back home to get changed for dance. Run in and change Isabel and grab Jack a bag of cookies..."ookies, ookies." Then head to dance. On the drive to dance. Isabel is yelling "Jack NO." I look back, and he is dumbing cookies all over my car!! And if you know me, you know I love my car, and really don't like to have the kids eating in it, but sometimes you just have too! So now there is cookies everywhere!!! AHHHH!!! Pull into dance, jump out and run in to buy Isabel new Ballroom shoes (that cost me $100...yea that is right $100!!!) While I am trying them on, Jack is playing in the cloths. He is pulling them off the hangers and hiding in them. AHHHH! Get Isabel into class...start to drive off and Jack is screaming "Poop, Poop" (yes he lets us know when he has done the deed and has to be changed right then) Pull over and change him! AHHHH!

Then we are off the scout out locations for photo sessions. While we are driving Jack has to have me hold his foot! AHHH!!! If I let go...he FREAKS!! Drive around, looking and he is acting really good....YEAH!!! Then we go back to get Isabel and we have to go inside to get her. He is screaming and trying to jump out of my hands to get down, but I know what that leads too. So we grab Isabel and head home...holding the foot the whole way home! We are almost home, and I hear the noise that I HATE...yep, PUKE EVERYWHERE!!!! So now the rest of the ride home, Isabel is grossed out, and freaking because he is playing in it. I am rolling down the windows so I don't get sick! Pull into the driveway...get him out and undress him, throw him the house and get his nasty car seat out of my car!

Run, both him and Isabel to the shower. We all jump in, because by this point I am going to dye if I don't get this day off me! While washing Isabel's hair, Jack gets out of the shower and proceeds to POOP on my bathroom floor! Yes, the JOYS!!! He is standing there just smiling saying "Poop, Poop!" AHHHHH!! Get your butt back in the shower! Finally we are all dressed! Dinner...pizza, he actually sits and eats! Then bring on the cookie! What am I thinking! Cookie everywhere! Ok seriously you need to go to BED NOW!!! Round up the truck blanket, his 2 cars, and milk then off to bed!!!! Holy COW!!! What a day! The funny thing is that I just was finishing the post below when he woke from his nap! haha! Boys...they are such a JOY!!! He keeps me going! But, even after a hellish day...he ropes me in every night at bedtime when he snuggles in and loves to rock. Then we sing his favorite song. I say I love you, and me mumbles back. I just love you death Jack, Jack!!!!

Wow, toward the end did you start looking around for the candid camera? I love days like this, that's right you are not alone (2 boys, 3 years apart that feed off of each other). The only thing you left out is the Diet Coke on the couch after the kids are all in bed, thank goodness I don't drink alcohol but I can sure relate, love that Diet Pepsi!!

You have me in tears...I am laughing and crying for you. I am so glad you wrote this down. Someday you will laugh. I promise. It has taken me about 3 years to finally laugh over Amelia ruining my carpet, couches, clothes dryer and almost my dishwasher all in one day. I do love that you hold his foot. How cute and sweet is that?! Hang in there, we all have days...but the puke in the car was over the top.
