7:30am Both kids sitting on my head in the bed.
7:32am Asked hubby if he would make the kids breakfast so I could write my Lost recap.
7:33am He said no.
7:35am I take a shower. (Yes, before noon.)
7:45am Hubby makes kids breakfast. He’s quite contrary.
8:00am I start to write LOST recap.
8:04am Check ew.com for Doc Jensen’s recap.
8:05am Continue to write. Wonder about Sayid’s body count.
8:10am Check ew.com again.
{this continues until 9:45am}
10am Hubby has to leave for work. I save my draft and hope a computer falls into my lap.
10:30am Have both kids dressed and strapped into the carseats. Race to the mall to bring my macbook to the Apple store.
11:15am Oil light comes on. And beeps. About 4 times.
11:16am Call hubby. He tells me to take the car to the mechanic.
1:00pm Leave mechanic with a new quart of oil or whatever it’s called. And the memories of an hour and a half in a waiting room with a 1 and 4 year old who have not had lunch or a nap.
1:30pm Meet an Mac Genius at the door. She says, “Do you have an appointment?”
1:31pm I try not to cry.
1:55pm I leave my macbook with the geniuses.
2:00pm Leave the mall. Drive towards home. Remember that ballet is in one hour.
2:45pm Arrive home. Leave sleeping kids in car to get leotard and tights. (And a chocolate chip cookie.)
2:55pm Arrive at ballet. Leave sleeping Asa in the car to get Lydia dressed in the bathroom.
3:20pm Genius calls to confirm that my macbook was DOA. Suggests I buy a new one.
3:21pm I try not to cry.
4:15pm Stop at the library to finish Lost recap. Hope it doesn’t have too many typos or ridiculous insights.
4:55pm Pick up Atlanta Parent and see MYSELF on page 2!! Go Disney World Moms!!!
5:15pm Honk the horn while driving up the driveway so my husband will help me get the kids out of the car.
5:25pm Eat a dinner of raw veggies and hummus. (And maybe a chocolate chip cookie.)
6:30pm Bedtime for Asa and Lydia. I pray they sleep 13 hours.
6:32pm Lay on the couch with book and chocolate chip cookies.
The moral? There’s always chocolate chip cookies!

I have SO had days like that. Sometimes, all you can do is…eat cookies. Here’s to a better Thursday!

A shower before noon? I may have to try that today! :0)
Hey, it’s a new day, you’re alive, kids are healthy, your hubby loves you, and you are a DISNEY MOM!
If my pep talk doesn’t work, go have a few more chocolate chip cookies. Ha!

Chocolate chip cookies always make the day better. Oatmeal chocolate chip work too. Sorry your day was so stressful.
Im sorry you had ‘one of those days’.
Also sorry to hear that your mac is beyond recovery. 
I hope that today brings you something to smile (and blog) about!

Chocolate chip cookies are the cure for many problems. Maybe you should feed one to your Macbook? Seriously, I am SO sorry your Macbook died. On the bright side, today has to be better, right?

That sounds reminiscent of my Wednesday. But mine was a baby with a head cold and my bad day lasted through the night…
Bummer!
Hope your day goes better today! And that your Macbook miraculously revives!

I ate an entire box of oreos last week. In one day. Thankfully it was over the span of about 4 hours so I didn’t feel *that* bad. Hope today’s going better for ya!

You’re famous! Maybe you should have picked up the AP before the Apple store…then you could have given them the, “but don’t you know who I am?”
Hope today was better. One more until the weekend!

Ugh. Sorry. I didn’t have any chocolate chip cookies in the house today, so I just had a handful of chocolate chips. I definitely needed after the naptime battle I had with Ladybug.
Hope today is better!

How did you get a 6:30 bedtime? Lucky girl!
