miss crankypants on a monday...

i give you fair warning...if you do not want to listen to be whine, moan and complain...then click away right now 'cause baby...mama is in a cranky place today...only three hours of sleep last night...the perfect recipe for a disastrous monday...well maybe not disastrous...that might be a wee bit dramatic...what?... i'm irish...we do drama well...maybe just filled with stupid people who annoy me and things that break...my morning started with stubbing my toe...there may have been a few colorful metaphors spilling forth...heck...who am i kidding...i screamed them so if you live in idaho you heard me...then miss courtney did this new thing she started over the weekend...for the FIRST TIME EVER in her life...she took off her diaper while in her bed...how does a severely disabled child manage to undo a diaper??...please someone tell me how this child who cannot hold a cup or spoon...can wiggle out of her diaper...which is all but duck-taped to her backside...and just lay there all happy and laughing...sweet gracious i am totally losing it here...after that magnificent discovery i got her dressed and big brother (who graciously was off this morning) took over so i could run an errand or two...i forgot half the things on my list and ended up going out twice..."why bother with a list when you don't even read it mary?"...sheesh...i called home to let #1 son know of my delay and he informed that the little troublemaker was yelling like chewbacca every time he tried to read her something other that "charlie the ranch dog"...apparently the pioneer woman has a gift for children's stories...so i told him to just keep reading it to her...he sighed...whatev...just read the darn book dude... i grabbed another latte and finished the errands and got my bum home...then we had another diaper moment when she decided it would be the perfect moment to "go" as I was switching out dirty for clean...then there was a disagreement over lunch and the fact that apparently as of today she hates peas...as the stains on my blouse will attest to...from there the hellishness continued...the kitchen sink sprung a leak...i ran out of detergent...darn grocery list...a spring broke in the sofa so you feel like you are sliding off the cushions...excellent...i totally forgot to put dinner in the crock pot so i quickly fired up the oven and got to work...then i cut my finger...there were more colorful metaphors...then i found miss courtney leaning sideways out of her purple chair deciding that maybe she would like to get down on her mat for a bit...good grief the child is becoming a trapeze artist...then there was dinner...more humming, singing and chewbacca yelling...i know i really have nothing to complain about...that has never stopped me before...there will soon be hot tea and light reading then bedtime for mama...daddy can deal with the princess...mama needs a vacation...instead i will get sleep...i hope...until tuesday...
