New Normal

So this past Monday was supposed to be my first day of "normal".

Dusty was back to the grind

I had a doctors appointment first thing in the morning.

The girls and I had to figure out a new morning routine.

I woke up at 530. 

Fed Andy.

Got the girls on the bus at 8

Pack up Penny and Andy 

And was on the road by 810.

Dropped Penny off at a friends

(After a slight change in child care- my other friend called that morning with sick kids)

I thought it had been too long since I had driven.

I kept missing my turns.

Anyways.

I got going into town. 

Music on.

No crying baby.

The news came on...

Do you know that this past Monday was blue Monday?

It is the most depressing day of the whole year.... There is a mathematical equation based on a ton of factors like time after Christmas, winter, money etc...

I scoffed hearing this that mornings news.

Got to town

A light turned red.

I went to stop.

No brakes.

None.

Slight panic.

Say a little prayer.

Re- route myself to only make right hand turns.

Manage to get to the doctors office.

Two minutes late.

Go in.

Find out he has a posterior tongue tie.

Cut it.

Was forewarned it was going to be a rough week of nursing....

Great.

Like nursing wasn't already bad!

Get out to my car.

Panic.

Make a few phone calls.

Call a mechanic

( who was awesomely amazing)

Then call roadside assistance.

On hold for 1 hour

Then another hour for the tow truck.

My sister comes.

We get everything switched.

Tow truck shows up.

And home.

Longest Monday ever!

First day of "normal" sucked.

I might not be scoffing about blue Monday anymore...
