Sample of Today

6am- Chris wakes me up to help him pick out an outfit for his presentation and to make sure his socks and pants match. Not happy- and not sure I didn't send him out with navy pants and black socks. Seriously he spends way too long getting ready . (he is a closet metrosexual)

7 am- picture day at school put in Casey Jane's bow in her hair for which she screams

7:30- let kids pick out cereal choice (the mini kind)- they both pick the same one- CJ left unhappy.

7:45- Casey pulls out bow and spills strawberries on tracksuit.

8:45- CJ still crying at drop off- asks if I can pick him up after lunch because 3 is too long of a day . (Teacher starting to annoy me that she refuses to call him CJ and only calls him Christopher. Make a mental note that I will bring this up at a later date.)

9- drop Casey off at school she sees the photographer and literally starts shrieking. Put bow in hair again. (who am I kidding like she's going to have a bow in her hair when I get the pictures back). The school claims they will do sibling shots after individual ones (can't wait to see CJ and Casey Jane strangling each other on film)

9:30- navigate a gazillion 1 way streets for which the English treat as 2 way streets to meet 2 other Americans for coffee (and yes we went to Starbucks thankyouverymuch)

11-rant and complain for a good 1 1/2 in a very therapeutic way. ( could have been more therapeutic if we drank booze instead of coffee)

1pm- meet plumber at house to discuss why we have basically no water pressure. (so all my friends/family back home better love taking that long hot shower while water basically trickles on me)

2pm- Blog- hopefully this is making Moroney laugh after being thrown back into the fire after maternity leave:)
