7:15-7:45 lay in bed wishing I could fall back asleep while Audrey kicks me in the gut.
7:45-8:00 make Audrey breakfast and feed her. Call husband to ask him to call MB out of school, then be sure to call the vet right at 8am
8-8:15 vet isn’t answering, Audrey is now throwing her cup and food off the tray.
8:15 give up on the vet for a minute and get Audrey cleaned up.
8:20 finally get ahold of the vet. They want to see Misha ASAP.
8:20-8:30 get Audrey and Misha in the car. Wake up MB and get him in the car too.
9:00 finally get Misha to the vet.
9:02 Audrey falls asleep on the way home from the vet her sleep schedule is off now and my whole day is fucked.
9:20 Audrey’s asleep in her crib so I make Aiden breakfast. Green shake (for all the vitamins) and blue berry pancakes. Give Aiden his meds. Shit, did I take mine? Probably not…guess I should do that.
9:25 do a circle around the yard to try and figure out what the dog cut herself on. That dog better be as hurt as I think she is. If the vet sends me home with a bill and a tube of Neosporin J’s going to kill me.
9:30 finally get the email I’ve been waiting for from Audrey’s case worker with her latest IFSP. I can finally send in her disability services application. You know, the one for when she’s an adult with a 7 year long waiting list. Also, remind MB to do his reading.
10:20 hurry and shove the last few required documents into that envelope, address it, and get it in the mailbox. Audrey’s up and she’ll only hang out in that crib for about thirty more seconds.
10:30 Bring Audrey downstairs and banish MB back to the front room. Make him shut off the Kindle and work on his model cars.
10:45 Call Dad to see if he can watch MB while I take Audrey to therapy. Clearly I can’t take MB to therapy with strep and I don’t want her to miss it.
10:45-12 put together Audrey’s splash table and make her play with it. I need to figure out how to tire her out enough to squeeze in one more nap before therapy. Otherwise I’m toast. Also, decide we are having tacos for dinner. Get out meat and make a mental note to stop at the grocery store. We are out of some essentials.
12-12:30 feed Audrey lunch and get her cleaned up and dressed for therapy. Now I can let her sleep for an hour and just pick her up right from her crib and throw her in the car.
12:30-1 Audrey’s asleep. But I should probably feed the other kid. Make him spaghetti. That reminds me. I haven’t eaten yet and I’m starving.
1-1:30 pull myself together a tiny bit. At least my teeth are brushed. Pack the diaper bag and get the kid in the car.
1:30-1:50 drive to therapy. Listen to pod cast and breath.
1:50 look at me all early. Sit in my car and send email to MB's basketball coach asking if they have practice tonight and try to confirm game on Saturday.
2-3 therapy. Audrey does fantastic. So glad I got that extra nap in.
3-4 drive home and make a quick stop at walmart for basics. Audrey needs yogurt and/or apple sauce to take her meds, J needs milk for his protein shakes, I’d really like bread because I’ve been CRAVING an egg salad sandwich and, we will need tomatoes and sour cream if we are going to have tacos for dinner tonight. Also, call the vet. I can’t decide if I’m more worried about Misha or what J’s going to say when he gets the bill. Misha’s just getting out of surgery? Fucking fantastic. Call J. His reaction is about as I expected. I also, have to tell J he has to take MB to basketball practice. I still haven’t heard back from the coach. I’d better leave that detail out. He’s already pissed about the vet bill.
4-4:20 Holy shit, is it really only four o’clock? When is J getting home again? Crap, I’d better figure out exactly where practice is and let him know. Shit it’s on 144th and Blondo. He’s going to be pissed. Maybe I’ll just text him….
4:20 Welp, I guess I better get dinner ready so MB can eat before he has to leave for practice.
4:30 Awe shit, Audrey’s signing eat. Guess I better stop what I’m doing and feed her. Also, make sure to send MB upstairs to change and brush his teeth and hair. We’ve kind of been slobs today. Ooh, I also need to load and start the dishwasher.
5 OK dinner is done. MB’s eating, Audrey’s already eaten, I think I’ll have a taco. But standing in the kitchen. If I sit down on the couch that little shit won’t leave me alone. If I go in the dining room with MB she’ll lose her shit. Because, you know, she hasn’t had a nap since 12:30. Oh crap, don’t forget to give MB his meds.
5:03 crap! I need to call the vet back. Misha is a little unsteady but can go home. They’d like me to wait and come as close to six as possible.
5:15 J’s home. Thank fucking god.
5:20 I need to leave to pick up Misha soon but I really don’t want to take Audrey. Sparkles doesn’t answer. Mom does but then I remember she hurt her back. Then she randomly remembers that she got a call today and basketball was cancelled. Wish I’d known that a few hours ago.
5:40 leave to get Misha from the vet.
6:00 thank god it was under $200 maybe J will only be medium fussy when I tell him.
6:30 make another trip around the backyard to try and figure out what the dog did to her foot.
6:50 J wants to go get beer. I’m crossing my fingers that he’ll put Audrey to bed when he gets back.
7:00-7:30 J leaves, Audrey loses her shit. MB wants to make popcorn. Audrey and I make popcorn too. She has stopped losing her shit. Give Misha just a tiny bit of water and pray she doesn’t puke. I really don’t want to clean up puke.
7:30-8 J puts Audrey to bed. Thank God. I just need a minute. Send MB upstairs to take a shower and get ready for bed.
8-9:30 I just can’t even move. I don’t have energy for anything more than another glass of wine and an episode of Daredevil.
10 bed time! Oh my god, this bed feels amazing.
