O Monday, You Have Found Me!!

I woke up BEFORE the alarm! That should have been my first clue that today was going to be one of those trademark Mondays that haunt the masses (& Garfield).

Since I was up so early I went back to sleep. Mistake # 1 *snickers*. I got up just in time to get kids out of bed with just enough time to get ready for school and eat a quick breakfast. All the kids did get out the door when they were supposed too so I figured everything was okay.

I got on the computer to be nosy and check everyone's facebooks and my pretty blue blown glass candle holder suddenly jumped off the desk and killed itself. It is now in peices on the floor waiting for me to pick it up. I had a gut feeling that was a sign that today was going to be a baaaad day.

Even though my kids got out to the bus stop in plenty of time they all came back. It seems Poinsettia and Star decided it would be a good day to terrorize my Angel. One of them kicked her - the proof is a muddy footpring on her leg. I still don't know which one it was but Poinsettia is usually unnaturally mean and nasty after she's spent time at her biomom's house - as she did last Thursday through Saturday. It infuriates me because when I was 12 I was responsible for watching my siblings in a house where the grownups worked and didn't get home until dinner time -and that was in California in a town where we could have been snatched at any moment - but MY 12 year-old bullies my other kids. So I will have to go with them to the bus stop every day (AGAIN) to make sure my little ones are safe - not only from strangers but from their own sister as well. That, to me, is sad.

In any case they ALL came back to tell me this and that's when the bus drove by soooooooooooo missed the bus. Since I didn't get up on time I was still in my pajamas so I just threw on some jeans and sandals and a jacket (60 degree weather is still cold to me!) and drove all five of my kids to school. By the time we got there I had to go in and sign them in (in my jammies - lovely).

People probably don't realize that most of the time I have little to no sense of smell. Mostly due to allergies and the fact that I live with a smoker. Well today suddenly my sense of smell is PERFECTLY CLEAR ... and EVERYTHING smells AWFULL!!! LOL. I am fairly certain there is a dead mouse SOMEWHERE in my house - and my newly acute nose tells me it's probably in the foyer closet ... and my NEW VAN smells like CATTLE. That in itself isn't necessarily a BAD smell, but I usually prefer my vehicles to smell like strawberreis. I let my inlaws drive the van down to South Carolina and there is a yellow pollen lining the entire inside of the van - is that what smells? Does SoCarolina stink? LOL I swear the smell is coming out of the vents so is it the engin? IDK but I don't care for it- I had to drive home with all the windows open and like I said, it's still cold!

As for my house I love the smell of bleach so I'll just have to do all the cleaning I usually do with bleach today.

Ug Monday is going to SUCK ALL DAY!!
