Monday morning struggles...
So the plan today was that Dan was working from home and I was in placement 9-5 therefore he is in charge of getting the kids to nursery and school... teamwork makes the dreamwork and all that! Dan slept on the sofa last night because he wasn't feeling all that special so I set my alarm for a little early highly expecting to need to drop the girls to breakfast club on my way to placement. Dan's immune system is so strong he could probably fight off the plague so when he isn't well I know he really isn't well! We've been together for 10 years now and I think I can count on one hand the amount of times he's been ill! (I'm not jealous at all... I'm so happy for him!)
So my day starts with going into to Evie to find she has done the biggest shit in her nappy at some point which has leaked. I mean I should be thankful that's all I walked into, because the past couple of months, most mornings she has taken a shine to getting herself undressed and taking her nappy off. I'm telling you now if I had come into her room and she had stripped naked after what had evacuated her bowel it would quite literally of been a shit storm and I would have handed my notice in on life right there and then. Done, I would have been done!
Fun game for you all... lets play... see if you can notice the mistake I made before I did!
So, the usual routine proceeds they're both dressed, teeth done, hair done bags and packed lunches packed and we are ready to go! I get in the car and it's 8.10. I normally drop Evie to nursery first ready for breakfast at 8am then Amelia to school for breakfast club at 8.10 then go on to placement. The doors for breakfast club for Amelia are open 8.10-8.30 so I'm sat in the car with the dilemma of which child to drop off first. I decide I can't risk taking Evie to nursery and getting Amelia to school and the doors have shut so I make the executive decision Amelia's going first.
Child number one dropped off. I get in the car and drive towards home (Evie's nursery isn't far from home). At the roundabout near home I take a left and get on to the motorway. I look at the time... 8.30... just call me fucking superwoman.. I'm going to get to placement with time to spare ooosh! So I put Andra Day on and belt out my best Rise Up to date! I mean I reckon I could win X Factor with my eyes closed with my operatic voice, others, however, may say I sound more like a cat being strangled. Then I hear it, this sweet, angelic little voice from the back of my car.... "mummy?"
FFFUCCCCCKKKKKK!!!!!
Yep.... I have gotten half way to placement with child number 2 still in the back of my car. I have indeed forgotten to take her to nursery!! And I do not have the nurse's number that I'm suppose to be meeting! Fuckity fuck fuck fuck! At 8.45 I am leaving the nursery after dropping Evie, and how I managed to run into that office dead on 9am is actually beyond me!
Just call me fucking wonder woman! 🤪
