Motherhood...You Just Have to Laugh

So Monday was a Motherhood Day of Hell....but all I could do was laugh about all of it. I will try and give you the short version.

Woke at 7am to no cable, phone or internet. They disconnect our service instead of the next townhome because they just moved out. It was going to take up to 4 hours to fix. They needed to send out a Comcast van. Reason numer 200 why we don't like Comcast. We finally got it back on at 6pm tonight. I am already stir crazy at time being home full time...add to it we have no tv (not even local channels), no internet (which I live off of) it was not going to be a fun day.

We went to my mom's house since they are out of town. Brandon was fussy from the get go and screaming when we got in the car. He stopped when we started to move only to get not even a mile and be surrounded by construction. What should have taken 3 minutes to go not even 2 miles took over 20 minutes with a screaming baby. Poor guy.

Spent some time at their place checking emails and trying to feed Brandon. He really didn't eat well at all today. He didn't nap more than 20 minutes here and there. He was in his cutest favoritest outfit that is easy to get on and off for the dr. apt. He decided right when we were getting ready to leave to poop. I decided to wait till we got home to change him since it takes him usually a few minutes to finish. Luckily it only took a few minutes to get home- not 20.

Got home to find an explosion in his diaper, on his pants, all over his shirt/onsie. GRRRRR!! Got him undressed (with half of it now on me). Got him upstairs, into a bath (him screaming the entire time), he peed on me once his bum hit the water. He stopped crying though. Allie decided to come visit (our little devil cat). She decided to climb a drawer thing we have and knocked it over- everything was all over the floor with some liquid leaking. I was able to clean that up while standing next to Brandon. Took Brandon out (he hates getting out so he screamed), bundled him up while Allie was ready to jump in his tub. So I dumped his baby tub...all over the bathroom counter and floor. I threw Allie out, threw towels on the floor and left it. Laid Brandon on our bed (post diaper). Cleaned myself up...pee free. Headed downstairs to rush to deal with the dog issue. Came downstairs to see that Allie decided to use her full water dish as a hockey puck. Put Brandon in his car seat to clean up the water and his dirty clothes which the cats attempted to investigate. This cat is going to give me a heart attack. Went and dealt with the dog issue to hear what we didn't want to hear.

Went back to my moms to check more emails (this is all happening from 7am to 1pm). Brandon didn't sleep at all. It was finally time to get to his Dr. Apt. Which took over 2 hours. GRRRR!!! On the way some kids decided to ignore the DO NOT WALK sign (I had a green light). They flew through the intersection on their bikes. I slammed on my breaks (to make Brandon mad) while a truck coming the other way slammed on his brakes. That kid actually fell off his bike but wasn't hit. I just kept driving. Wrapped up Dr. visit, went home, Brandon fell asleep, I cleaned, refused to cook so Dad brought us Subway....Finally at 10pm went to bed!

You just have to laugh at the wonderful day.

Dr. Visit update on next entry.
