Today

Today has been one of those days like the bad dreams - the ones where you keep trying and trying to get out the door, and for some reason you just CAN'T make it! I have been up since before Jackson was awake to get ready. I had a bunch of errands that needed to be done. We're out of toothpaste, for crying out loud. I need to go to Target before we get cavities.

But it just hasn't happened. My purse got left in Tyler's car, which is now 30 minutes away in the parking lot the hospital where he works, and he is in meetings all day. I have no wallet, no keys, nothing. Not to mention the fact that Tyler got rear-ended yesterday while driving my car, so my bumper is all buckled in and you can't open the back door of my car, so I was going to have to squeeze all my bags into the front seat anyway.

When I realized that (during the time that Jackson was in the bathtub and suddenly pooped all over everything).... I sat down on the bathroom floor and cried. And cried. And cried.

Then, I got myself back up, rinsed the poop out of the bathtub, gave Jacks another bath, put him down for a nap, made some lunch, put some Hillsongs on, and started my day over.

Mommies have it rough sometimes.

This blog is about being real. That's what I have done today.
