Just Taking Notes
Feb. 21, 2008 - The rest of the story
So I guess I got some splainin' to do.
It was a normal Tuesday morning, almost. I had already dropped my oldest off at his 10:30 debate class and had come home to try and complete another hour of school before leaving to pick him up. Really, I was having one of the worst days of my life.
You see, I suffer from mild depression, and in the winter, it really kicks my butt. I used to take meds for it, but I decided after 3 years, that it was not worth the risk and realized that diet modifications and exercise usually will do the trick. If only I could stick with the plan.
Back to the most recent worst-day-of-my-life story. The boys were being boys and driving me crazy. The baby was crying. The girls were demanding. I was almost in tears already when I locked myself in the bathroom to phone my dear husband for some consolation. Fortunately, I was able to reach him and caught him on a good day. Like the perfect husband that he is, I was comforted and consoled. He met my needs and wiped my many tears away. Then I looked at the time only to realize that I should have departed 10 minutes earlier to pick up my son. Oops.
When I ran down stairs to gather my flock, I found the mess pictured below. I shrugged my shoulders, grabbed the camera for a few shots to remember the day by, and ran out the door to get my son from class.
The story I heard was that the baby tipped over the waste bin and spilled the water all over the floor. He must have done that while trying to wash the dishes as well. The crumbs all over the floor are cereal crumbs that I had set aside for casserole topping, but after listening to my kids hound me with "Can we have the cereal crumbs?" for a month, I pitched them.
So, there you have it.
I will also add that my second son quietly cleaned up the whole mess when we came home, blessing my day abundantly. Times are a little better now. |
