Mom's Craziness

I was just thinking the other day that I should really post more often because my kids can be so darn funny at times. Well, today isn't one of those days, but the story is funny none the less and any mother can relate.

This morning I got up and got Eddie dressed while Gordon was still sleeping. Eddie got his clothes on just fine but when I went to put his socks on, he didn't want them. No problem, we just have to get them on before getting Sister from the bus which was a few hours later. Then GoGo woke up, so he was fed and dressed, but his diaper wasn't very wet, so I knew the flood would be coming!

The morning progressed with no problem whatsoever and then it was time to pick up Sister from the bus. Eddie's socks go on and I go for his shoes just in time for him to get both socks off within seconds. I put them back on and threaten to leave him home (he knows this trick though) so that doesn't work. I put the first shoe on, the other sock comes off. I get the sock back on, he takes off the first shoe as I'm putting the second shoe on. We do this two more times before I break him and he keeps his shoes on! Then it's time for Gordon to get ready to leave. Sure enough, the fountain erupted and he's soaking wet! It is now five minutes past the time we normally leave for the bus stop, so let's hope the bus is late today! I get Gordon changed with dry clothes and ready to go just in time to find out Eddie took off one shoe and hid his coat. We frantically get the shoe back on, the coat on and we might as well take the car to the bus because more than likely we'll have to drive to the school to pick up Celeste! Like I said - crazy!

I still must say that it is totally worth it. I wouldn't trade my crazy days for anything - well maybe for a not so crazy day!
