Jamey has a very big pet peeve. I NEVER EVER finish a bottle of water. He will always pick up my long forgotten room temperature 3/4ths full bottles and even chase me down if need be to remind me that I did not finish it. He will also ask me, "Why can't you ever finish a bottle of water?" I usually just shrug take it from him and turn it up and finish it before his very eyes to make him happy so that I can finish what I was doing before he came into the room with my bottle of water.
Let me start by saying I had a really crazy day today! We got up earlier than normal, took Riley to the dentist at 8:00, McDonalds for a reward afterward, took both kids for haircuts, delivered kids to MIL's house, got to work at 11:00, took both kids to Riley's gymnastics class, and a drive thru for dinner.
After all of the normal hecticness of getting home later than normal after gymnastics I got the kids bathed and I finally got them settled for a little quiet time before bedtime I grabbed a wonderful ice cold bottle of water from the fridge and plopped down in the recliner for 20 minutes of rest and refreshment....or so I thought.....
As soon as I sat down and barely had time to take a tiny sip my dog started staring at the back door...that means she needs to go out....she knows how to scratch on the door but will only do it when she wants back in from going out. If you don't hop up pretty quickly she will pee in the kitchen floor sooooo....I set my bottle to the side and hopped up to let her out. I kind of hung out in the kitchen straightening up and waiting on her to reappear outside our glass door, she didn't come back after several minutes so I went back and sat down and grabbed my water. I didn't have time to do sip my water because Penny reappeared and wanted back inside. After letting her back in Sam decided he wanted to watch Thomas the Train for his last few minutes before bed so I jumped up to put in the DVD. Riley came in and asked if she could watch T.V. in our bed for a few minutes before bed so I had to go in there to get all comfy snuggly in my bed. I came back into the living room but didn't get sat down before Riley decided she would rather have me read her a book in my room so away I went to do that. Sam came in and told me that the movie didn't start so I ran back to the living room before I read to Riley to start his movie bypassing my drink totally. I then dashed back into my room to read to Riley. After I finished up the book I came back into the living room and sat back down in the recliner thus returning back to my water. After a sip or two Penny started kicking her food bowl around demanding more food to be placed therein so I popped back up to fill her bowl. I returned once again and sat down for one little second before I looked at the time and realized that it was time to get Riley and Sam's teeth brushed so away I went. After the teeth were taken care of I snuggled Sam up with his blanket and carried him upstairs to bed. After we went through our bedtime routine in his room I skipped downstairs to collect Riley and her blanket and up the stairs we trod. After coming back downstairs I realized I hadn't used the restroom since being home, picked up the clothes, towels, etc from the bathroom floor or cleaned up all of the bath toys so off to the bathroom I went to take care of all of that. After bathroom cleanup/duty I remembered that I wanted to go through some of the bags of the kid's outgrown clothes in the basement to give to a coworker for the children her sister is going to help care for/possibly get guardianship/custody of....so to the basement I went to dig through 5 or 6 trash bags of clothes looking for a specific sizes. After going through all of the clothes I trudged back up the stairs with an impressive amount of clothes to rebag and deliver tomorrow. After baggging them I ran outside and tossed them into my car so that I wouldn't run off and leave them in the morning. When I got back inside I decided to go ahead and get Riley's backback ready for school in the morning including writing Ms. Mary a note to explain that Riley missed school today because she had a dentist appointment to get her crown placed. After taking care of Riley's school stuff I went ahead and picked up all of the toys that littered the living room floor....I don't like to do this right after the kids go to bed because if they hear their toys they seem to think we are down here playing without them....funny. After that was taken care of I went back into our room to change into comfy p.j.s and when I got back into the living room Jamey asked me why I didn't finish my water. I didn't say a word, I just took the bottle from him and gulped it down..........
