Perfect Storm

We are creatures of habit.....all of us. We tend to have the same schedule week after week. But this week, we had the perfect storm of off schedule activities that threw us all for ONE BIG LOOP.

First, our day care provider went on a trip, and was gone for 2 days.....so Uncle Brad stepped up and watched Mo for us on those 2 days.

The next day, she went to daycare, but I had one of those after school meetings....you know the ones....the meeting that is not mandatory, but if you don't come, your principal gets an email wanting to know why you weren't there....so, a teacher friend, Alysson, picked Mo up and took her over to her house for a few hours after school.

The very next day, Scout went into the hospital for out patient surgery on her leg....and Mo got picked up by Uncle Brad, and hung out with him until almost bed time.

So, in the past week.....I have not picked her up one day or come home with her.....she has been going hither, thither, and yon.....and it is starting to take its toll.

Last night, she was cranky (can you blame her).....she was tired (I get it)....and she was clingy (of course).....

Today, we had arranged for Uncle Brad to come get her and take her to daycare, so Scout and I could have a quiet day while Scout's leg got to feeling better.....but we decided instead to have a "family day." We enjoyed the time together....watched movies....worked some puzzles....walked to the park.....it was nice to feel normal again. Everyone seems much better.

Can't wait to get back to our boring, regular life!
