Flea Market & Frazzled

I'm writing a little blogger here before I hit the hay. Actually, I'm waiting for the sun to go down so I don't feel like a loser going to bed when it's bright out. I figure if I go to bed as soon as it's dark I save some self-respect in the "cool" division and I still avoid the June bugs. Those are beastly, little creatures. If I go to Hell I'm going to be in a room filled with them and the walls will be covered in buttons I can't push.

So, I went to the flea market today which was relatively uneventful. I bought myself some knock-off Louis Vitton (sp?) sunglasses, a knock-off Playboy baseball cap (PINK!), a movie for the kids, and some fudge. I never leave without fudge. That would be my inner gluttonous voice telling me that just one won't hurt so I buy three packs of four and try to convince myself that I'll share -- which I never do. The hat is now proudly on display on top of the monitor for my old computer, the fudge is still in the fridge (with only TWO pieces missing) but the glasses are gone. Big Cranky decided to inform me after we left that they were ugly so I chucked them. I don't really need knock-off LV sunglasses anyway.

I'm also home in my own place now. It was a little to hectic going back and forth from the MILs to here. They days were getting beyond crazy and busy. Here is a rundown of my day:

5:30 AM: Little Man Meatball wakes up. Get out of bed. Feed the cats and change the water dish. Put Kita out to pee.

5:45 AM: Get Little Man Meatball changed and put him on the floor to play. Get Kita her breakfast and fresh water, put it in her crate. Let Kita in, put Guanita out. Go get Guanita's food.

6:00 AM: Girls get up. Make sure they pee/change pull-up. Get the girls their clothes for the day. Make Little Man Meatball his breakfast. Let Guanita in, give her breakfast.

6:15 AM: Feed Little Man Meatball while the girls get dressed.

6:45 AM: Make breakfast for the girls. Get Little Man Meatball dressed. Feed the fish in both aquariums.

7:45 AM: Start waking Big Cranky up. Make Miss Lily's lunch for school.

8:00 AM: Wake Big Cranky up again. Get coffee made. Quickly brush hair/teeth. Try to remember deodourant. Get dressed as fast as possible. Get Little Man Meatball's bum changed just in case.

8:20 AM: Big Cranky gets up and washes his hair, swigs back coffee and opens the car. Put Miss Lily and Little Man Meatball in the car, go back for Little Miss Chloe. Wait for Big Cranky.

8:30 AM: Drop Miss Lily off at school. Go to Tim Horton's.

9:00 AM: Get home. Make Big Cranky breakfast. Get Little Miss Chloe a snack. Change Little Man Meatball's bum.

9:30 AM: Tidy up. Big Cranky gone back to bed.

1:00 PM: Errands.

2:00 PM: Pick Miss Lily up from school. Errands/appointments/whatever. Get Little Man Meatball down for his afternoon nap.

3:00 PM: Argue about supper.

4:00 PM: Start supper.

5:00 PM: Feed Little Man Meatball.

5:30 PM: Feed everyone else.

6:00 PM: Clean up. Get kids their pajamas.

6:30 PM: Put girls in the tub and Little Man Meatball in the sink.

7:15 PM: Bed lunch. Little Man Meatball gets "goodnight" bottle.

8:00 PM: Bed time.

8:30 PM: Scoop the litter box.

By 10 PM I've told the kids to go to sleep about 100 times. They generally fall asleep around 9:00 – 9:30. Last night that's when they fell asleep but Little Man Meatball gets up around 10:30 and 2:00 – 3:00 AM. He'll usually be up for an hour before he goes back to sleep. Little Miss Chloe usually wakes up once or twice in between Little Man Meatball waking up. Now that I look at that, it's pretty much my day at home anyway except for the extra dog and the fish tanks.

Dammit...no wonder I'm tired and cranky all the time....
