Sunday mornings are always insane for me. Today was no exception! I am a single mom on Sunday's because Steve leaves the house around 7:30. (He is the youth minister at our church for those that don't already know.) The boys and I don't have to be there until later. I am always in a hurry on Sundays to make it out the door in hopes to arrive to church on time. Most people try to look their best when they go to church....freshly ironed clothes, hair in place, jewelry that matches, etc. Me, on the other hand.....I just try to make sure I have clothes ON when I walk out the door!!! There are TOO MANY Sundays that I end up wearing my hair in a pony tail because I don't have time to fix it. I was up at 6:00 this morning ironing clothes for the four of us, packing Nash's diaper bag, making coffee, and attempting to get dressed before Nash woke up. IF I can get ready before my sweet ones wake up then I tend to make it on time. That did not happen today.
It's funny how your kids know when you're in a hurry. It's like they can sense it or something and decide subconsciously to take their time. That's how Braxton was this morning. He argued with me about fixing his hair. He ate breakfast extra slow. (He wanted an egg, but I didn't have time to fix it so I gave him leftover meatloaf.) He didn't want to wear the shoes I picked out. He didn't want to get dressed. I told him, "Go get your shirt that mommy ironed....it's on the kitchen chair." In his most sarcastic voice, like an annoyed teenager would use, he said, "Okaaaaaaay Mom!" I stopped him in his tracks and gave the speech about how we don't talk to mommy that way because it isn't nice, etc. In his sweetest voice he replied, "Mommy, I did say it nice. It's just that my mouth isn't working too good this morning." (Smile)

So cute! Kathryn...with the arrival of Campbell also became the days of ironing all clothes, packing all lunches & bags, pouring sippy cups, and setting out shoes and bows ALL the night before!! There was actually an evening that I set out the paper towels to lay the raisin bread on in the morning (OCD much... I know) :@ I would never make it without doing it all the night before. Although I LOVE being a Mommy I long for the evening that I can walk myself straight into the bed!! :)))) Love you!
Seriously....ironing??? Wrinkles add character to an outfit. The seatbelt and carseat straps will wrinkle it up anyhow. Hang to dry after partially drying....downy wrinkle releaser. My ironing board stays put hanging on the back of the utility room door. Try it....if you are like me, you and your dirty ponytail will only be five minutes late instead of ten. (and that is only a possibility if nash doesn't do a big ole poopy just as you are about to leave)
He is a riot!
