How not to start the week
-
Get up late (7:30), because the kids decided to sleep in for once.
-
Realize that Squeeker needs an emergency bath. Pass the stinky one to spouse.
-
It is now an hour later (8:30), and spouse just got out of the shower.
-
It is 9 am, you are dressed and ready, only to discover that Squeeker has been banned to the kids room for crying and clinging, and is now screaming his heart out there. Call daycare and work to warn them you are running late.
-
Comfort Squeeker, get socks for both kids, learn that one of Sqeeker’s shoes is unaccountably missing. Oh, and he only has one pair.
-
Spend the next 40 minutes unsuccessfully looking for the shoe.
-
Eat breakfast, get ready to leave, realize that you need to install the car seat in your car first. And it is freezing in the garage.
-
On the drive to work, traffic on the freeway is unaccountably slow. Your favorite parking spot is taken, too.
-
Arrive at work so late that you have to take a half-day. Try not to throw up. Eat painkillers. Hope you will feel better soon.

Yikes! Rough start. Hope you feel better soon and that your day gets better. Or at least doesn’t get any worse.
I’d offer you a second pair of shoes (as a backup), but I suspect that Squeeker is either wearing one size smaller than my little one ever did, or that he’s already wearing our old size 4 shoes.
