I've been working a second job on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Those two days are my busiest days, to say the least.
I head straight to the office, right after I drop Maddie off at school at 8. The office, by the way, is 40 minutes away. I pick Maddie up from school between 4 and 4:30, rush home, get changed and head to the restaurant to wait tables at 5 or 5:30.
Yeah- it's crazy.
Last week, I was doing my super speedy ironing, when Maddie heard our upstairs neighbors outside playing.
"Mommy- Kay is outside! Can I go?!?"
"Um, yeah. Just stay on our porch until I get done ironing, then you can play in the grass. Don't forget you shoes."
I finished my ironing and went outside.
I talked to her friend's mom for a few minutes. Then, it hit me. My child had no pants on. She did, however, have her shoes on.
Today, I was in a crazy hurry trying to get dressed, get breakfast eaten, lunches packed, coffee guzzled, and dog walked. I was putting the leash on Grendal, and told Maddie to be dressed by the time I came back inside. Her clothes were on the couch.
Miracle upon miracle, she was dressed and ready to go. I grabbed our bags and we were on our way.
As we were walking through the halls of her school, I noticed something strange.
Her pants were on backwards.
When will I be one of those moms who can manage this type of thing? I cringe to think of when I actually have to work at a real job 5 days a week.
I either need more, or less, coffee. I'm voting for more.
