one of those days

one of those days
You know those commercial or on movies where there is total kaos in the home? you know, dog barking, baby screaming, kids yelling "mom!!!" doorbell ringing, phone ringing, blender is going with no lid splattering everywhere? that was my day yesterday. sigh... it all started 2 days ago after my girls got out of school. My oldest says to me, "my head itches mom." I check her and she has lice. I check all our heads and my husband checks mine. Us 3 girls all have it. Luckily not my husband or the baby but thats because they don't have enough hair. So my husband buys enough of the special shampoo for all of us including him just in case. so the next four hours we are washing hair and nit picking. I am so totally grossed out the entire time. Then begins the washing. OMG the washing. it is never ending. i have to wash sheets and blankets and jackets and towels everyday until this is gone.
Well yesterday of course I was washing all day. But there was so much other stuff going on too. i needed to run errands and my ex husband refuses to talk to me over the phone so he texts me. So I am trying to text him back while driving!!! But don't worry I pulled over. so I pick up the girls from school and at 4 pm start nit picking. YUCK. My middle one has incredibly long thick curly hair and there is just no way so I cut it short. to her shoulders. it looks really cute actually! Anyway, after 2 hours of doing her hair, the baby is crying and bored and hungry, my husband is trying to call over and over but his STUPID NEXTEL/SPRINT PHONE keeps dropping the call. He needs to go get it fixed and go buy his Angel Tree Angel her gift and I need help at home because the baby and my oldest are going crazy. He comes home instead thank goodness. His phone rings and its bad news moneywise. Then MY phone is ringing. Baby is yelling. CAT is meowing because no body has fed her. In my head I am trying figure out what the heck we are supposed to do for dinner. My daughter is yelling from the shower. I run in there to help her turn off the water. My husband yells for me and i scream back "WAIT!!!" He yells "WE HAVE A CRITTER IN THE HOUSE!!!" I go out there and there is some kind of animal in our fireplace wanting out. we have the fireplace blocked because of the baby so it was trying push through. We set up a trap and it never came out all night. So maintenence is here as I write this, cutting the sheet rock above it. So far they have found a dead bird and they can see a squirrel but can't get to it. oh joy. Needless to say, I never got to nit pick my other daughters hair and my didn't get done either. oh and of course to top it all off, the baby didn't sleep well last night. She woke up to play at 3AM!!!
And me? Well, i am doing laundry. SIGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
