I'm exhausted writing this, never mind living it!

• Gently woke my children
• Switched to shouting after 5 minutes of coaxing
• Forced them into the shower
• Forced them out of the shower
• Attempted to brush tangled hair
• Switched to tying it as couldn’t face the argument
• Handled a major emergency (which was Maaaaaaam we’re out of Cheerio’s!!)
• Discovered it was PE day and had to go fishing for the school tracksuit in the dirty laundry basket
• Yelled some more- this time for them to brush their teeth
• Made lunches while listing to all the things they didn’t want to eat
• While putting lunch in the bag, discovered a note hidden from the school advising that money is due in today- it was stuffed in a pocket of the school bag.
• Rushed more as I had no cash and had to get to the ATM
• Pulled on a cap to hide under as I’d no time for make up on and my hair was all over the place
• As I’m walking out the door I discovered that one of the kids has shoes on that didn’t match
• Found a matching pair of shoes
• Bundled everyone into the car
• Raced to the ATM – and it was raining, so there was extra traffic on the road
• ATM is out of cash, so I hoped and prayed that I’d meet a mum I knew to borrow the tenner that was due in today
• Parked after circling 3 times and then power walked to the line to beat the morning bell
• I did meet a mum, but the said mum, looked great – make up on, hair brushed and was cool calm and collected- but she had a tenner so I forgave her for making me feel like a slob (like it was really he fault!)
• As I waved my darlings goodbye, I walked back to the car. Phew! I then discovered a trail of toilet paper stuck to my shoes… Nice! I’d say I was the talk of the yard
• Resigned myself to the fact that once the morning starts to go wrong, it generally ends up that way! COFFEE!!!!
