Purple Daisies & Purple Potamus: Is it Friday yet???

Holy moly what a week!!! Yep and it's only Thursday morning!!!

Dal got a cold last weekend plus a flu bug, he was vomiting and had a fever, trying to give a child tylenol, then to have it come right back up is always a lot of fun!! Hear the sarcasm??!! Yesterday he started to feel better, well he is trying!!

Avah has had a bit of the cold but nothing to bad!! She has also pooped on the potty 7 days in a row!!! Yep I said 7!! well she did have 2 accidents after already succeeding on day 2 and 5! But let's think positive!!! As we drove by her school this morning she yelled " I want to go to school!" more on that in a minute!!

Mayela, well I can't wait for her to be 7 and be done with being 6 and hopefully somehow, she will loose the attitude and cut me some slack!! Really, I am the mother, everything I do is for her, but yet I'm still the meanie!!! Ok so here is what I went through just to get both kids into school/preschool!!! Ready??

7:15am : go into and wake Mayela up!!! and reminder her it's wacky hair day at school!!

7:20am : again, "Mayela it's time to wake up! so we can have time to do your hair!!" Mayela says: "No, your not doing my hair I have my own plan and I will do it my self!" Me: "ok, but you need to get up, get dressed and have breakfast first!"

7:25am: she still isn't up

7:35am: me: "OK, you are running out of time, get dressed and come eat breakfast!!"

note: All 3 of my kids were in bed at 7:15pm and asleep by 7:30pm!

7:40am: me: "Mayela, get up now, the other kids are going to start coming and you will have no time to do your hair!"

7:45am: me: MAYELA!! now!!!!

7:50am, 1 daycare child here, Mayela is dressed but has not eaten her breakfast!

7:55am: she is eating her breakfast and I show her how I was thinking of doing her hair as she looks in the window! She yells"No, I'll do it my self that wasn't my plan!"

Okey doky, I think to my self this is going to be a long day!!!

8:00 am: Mayela in the bathroom, crying saying she had a different plan that she was thinking about all night!! and how I don't let her do anything and how mean I am!!
Meanwhile Avah is up eating breakfast I ask if she wants to go to preschool and she says: "No" Ok fine, no need to fight with 2 children in the morning!!!

So between 8am and 8:30am, there was a lot of yelling, screaming, crying, sitting in the bathroom, not doing anything to her hair!! I said several times fine go to school, with your hair not brush and how you always wear your hair!! I got the daycare child on her bus for preschool, and Avah got her coat and boots on, and still in her pj's and I couldn't find a minute to get her dressed or Dal!!

8:30am: me: " Mayela let's go get your stuff on, I'm done fighting and arguing with you, let's go!"
Mayela: " crying, holding my leg, no please one more chance please............just one more chance!!"

note: 8:30am is when we leave the house and get into the car to drive to school!!

8:31am: me" fine get in the bathroom let me do your hair and stop crying" Mayela: "ok"

So after doing her hair, and having Dal scream and cry, holding my leg, because he is still sick and just wants up it is 8:42, the first bell has rung and we are just getting in the car!!! Good thing the school is 3 blocks from our house!!! On the way, Mayela says sorry!!!

8:44am: run into the school, just in time for the last bell!!! I say bye to her and leave!!! Get into the car and as we leave and drive by Avah's preschool, she yells" I want to go to school!!! So I drive fast, home, run into the house with Avah, get her dressed, run a brush through some of her hair and out the door we go!! Yes Dal is buckled up in his car seat! Off we go to the preschool which is on the same block as Mayela's school!!!

9:08am: driving home with Dal, thinking to my self" Is this day over?? I need a nap!! The other 2 daycare kids show up and the day has only begun!!! Im wishing it was over!!! Really the only thing keeping me going is knowing that I have a babysitter and I am going out tomorrow night with some ladies (ladies night out and my husband says have fun!!), to make some new friends, have an adult conversation, ok maybe 2!!! Have a drink, ok Im going to have 1 drink for each of my kids and then 1 to relax, and we will see if I can still count!!!

So now to the pictures:

Mayela's hair!!! For Wacky Hair day!!!
