Thank Goodness for Leftovers

Yesterday was one of those thank goodness for leftovers kind of days. Everyone woke up late, and Camryn decided to eat her breakfast ever ..... so ..... slowly. Work called, and I’m answering questions while brushing Camryn’s teeth, washing her face, and dodging her as she tries to press buttons on the phone. Get Cam and J out the door, quick check on e-mail, and post blog (thankfully written the night before). Shower, on to the dentist to repair an old filling. Mouth numb, head to the grocery store. Back home, vacuum, pick up around the house, eat lunch. Take a few minutes to talk to Jason who’s home from a staff lunch, out the door again to pick Camryn up and take her to the doctor. Left later than I should have, loooonnnggg wait at the doctor’s office, ears again, probably looking at tubes in the next few months. On to Publix to pick up her prescription, it’s a million degrees outside, I have on black pants, I’m lugging a 25 lb. toddler through the parking lot, and she’s wired by now. Try to keep her from tearing the store apart while we wait, then back home to get supper ready so Jason can get out the door to praise team. Thank goodness we had leftover chicken pot pie and mac and cheese from Saturday night that I could just reheat. Sit down to eat, fight Camryn over her medicine (it’s really nasty) and it ends up all in her hair because she spits it out. Clean up the kitchen, which is a mess, chase Camryn around all night long, and give her a bath to get the medicine out of her hair. Read her bedtime stories, rock for a while, put her down, and she starts screaming. On to the kitchen to make brownies so J and I can watch Pirates of the Caribbean 2 together (long overdue on that one), drop an egg on the floor, and accidentally spray the pan with Pam for Grilling because I’m trying to hurry (I’m not making all this up). Finally sit down to watch the movie with our brownies and didn’t get in bed until midnight. Everyone overslept again this morning .... here we go again!
