I should have known today was going to be a doozy after Zoey threw up, peed and pooped on herself at 6am and then continued to fuss off and on. This turned into wardrobe changes for all 3 by 8am due to the same issues. So the beat went on and I took it in stride, but now, after 9 straight hours of fussy babies and zero down time, not even to sit and eat breakfast with Lucy, I am starting to think today just might be, well, one of those days. I swear all the batteries in our house have it out for me today. How do all the batteries die at the same time? Even those fancy rechargables we got and put in 2 days ago? The silver lining is that Lucy went to a friend’s house today and had a GREAT time and didn’t have to deal with all the fussing while she was gone.
So, how to deal? Most of the time I laugh and sometimes, I admit, on rare occasions I go into the basement (when Lucy is sleeping) and curse to the high heavens for about 30 seconds! That seems to do it and then I think I probably should be conserving energy… So, other parents, friends, family, others- how do you deal with the days when it seems Murphy’s Law is stacking up against you? Trouble for me is that one side of my family are actually Murphys…
NOTE: My Mom’s side of the family (Murphy) doesn’t actually have disproportionate bad luck- I just thought it was a funny pun to make…
