Apparently, nobody sent the memo about the time change to Liam and Ace and they were officially up at 6:30 a.m. And when they got up, they woke up Josiah. Zoe slept in until almost 7:30.
After getting up, I attempted to get in the shower, but Liam’s diaper leaked during the night, so I had to change him. Then when I picked up Josiah, he pooped, so I had to change him. With everyone ready for the day, I ran to take a shower.
After the shower, Josiah started getting fussy, so I attempted to put him down and kept trying for about two hours. He wouldn’t go to sleep. Every time I tried to put him down, he woke up. Or if I tried to put him down awake, he wouldn’t go to sleep. On top of that clingy Liam was following me around all morning wanting me to hold him.
After about an hour and half, I decided we would head to the gym. I got everyone ready and as I closed the locked door behind me, I looked in my hands and all I had were my van keys. Ugghh. I locked myself out of the house.
Wait, it gets better…we make it to the gym and clingy Liam (who has been here since last week) starts screaming bloody murder for me not to leave. I eventually get him pried off of me and headed to sweet relief and burning calories time.
After we exercised, I made it to Target to get a birthday present and try to find something to replace our mobile dvd screen without actually having to buy a new system (we have a dual screen and one of the screens went out a couple of weekends ago…we only use it on long trips). We got the present and Josiah was hungry, so I tried to feed him while I checked out, but then I realized I didn’t have my wallet, that I had left it in the car.
So, I headed to the car amidst myriads of why we didn’t get the present. Then we headed back in, paid for the present while getting Josiah situated to nurse and then got a slushy to drink while I sat down and fed Josiah.
Now, back to being locked out of the house. I called one of my friends who had a key and by luck, she was heading out our way today. So, as I was leaving Target she called to say she was at a local restaurant. Great, I thought, I’ll get to hang out with her while the kids play after we eat. I’ll get my key and be home in a jiff after that.
However, Josiah did his duty right after he finished eating and when I laid him down in the car to change him, it was up his back and all over his clothes. I have three kids yelling and/or screaming in their car seats and I stripped Josiah naked. I picked him up to wipe off his bottom and he promptly spit up all over me and himself. I decided then that we would not be going anywhere to eat…it was drive thru city for us. I got Josiah strapped in his seat when Ace announces that he needs to go potty. Out comes our handy dandy training potty (always kept for emergencies) and down he went on it.
I was glad to be back home after that little adventure. I think Liam is so cranky because he’s getting his two year molars in. I’m ready for our happy lovey Liam to come back though.
Now, it’s off to one of Zoe’s friends to celebrate her birthday since we won’t be here to attend the party.
