How not to start a morning

by casscomerford • September 9th, 2008 • posted in Ranting

Here are ways to not start a morning:

  • Wake up to grunting baby while you think about working today.
  • It’s 5am so you feed your child with the intention of her going back to sleep. But she doesn’t.
  • Shower while she dozes but while you’re rinsing out the shampoo the screaming starts.
  • Get dressed while you’re practically still wet making clothing that are already on the tight side VERY difficult to get on.
  • Change a REALLY dirty diaper – we were moments from a blowout.
  • Fold laundry while holding a child to have her spit up on the only thing that would be a giant pain to re-wash…the sheets.
  • Your cats are stalking you because “they hungry”.
  • Walk downstairs with screaming baby because she wants to eat again.
  • Notice cat puke on the edge of where the carpet meets hardwood floor- I don’t think I need to tell you which side the cat puked on.
  • Try to feed the cats one handed while wrangling still screaming baby.
  • Drop the cat dish on the floor.
  • Glass Shatters.
  • Deposit baby in swing to continue to scream.
  • Clean up floor and finally feed the cats.
  • Make a cup of coffee – but forget to put in a new coffee pod. Now I have to refill the water resevior. Gahhhh

The day did improve from there….a bit. The entire day I was thinking about a clever post of “Cass and the really awful, horrible, no good day” but it wasn’t the whole day and I was grateful about that so I went with bullets instead. Today, thanks goodess, is starting MUCH better.

    I'm a firm believer that cats want us dead and the only reason they keep us alive is because we feed them. This is why they puke on the rug. It's their message - if they could spell, they would write "die ghastly human" in hairball-laden vomit on the only piece of rug in your entirely tiled home.

    We practically had the same day yesterday. Seriously, you should read the post I wrote yesterday morning. Oy.

    What a morning. Glad to hear the day got better.

    In our old house, our cats would HAVE to puke on the carpet, godforbid there was a kitchen floor or hardwood a foot away. Now, that we have no carpets, they puke on the couch. UGH!

    I hope today is continuing to improve for you.
    And my cat likes to puke just about anywhere. Joy.

    I'm sorry to correct you, but somewhere in the middle of bullet point three you missed the "leave our daughter with my husband while I shower" part.

    Okay that sucks, glad it lasted what seems a couple of hours!
