Crazy Monday!!!

So, this past Monday was my monthly MOPS get-together. I was especially looking forward to this one because Michelle Duggar was going to be speaking! For those of you who don't know, Michelle Duggar has 19 children! 19!!!! And while we may differ on parenting styles and ideas, she is such an inspiration in that she makes no apologies for her faith and beliefs. I think that's great... I wish I could be more open in my faith! Anyways, with the time change, I just haven't gotten into a groove yet... I love the extra hour of sunshine in the afternoon, but I don't like that when my early-bird daughter wakes up at 5:15am every morning, that it feels like 4:15am!!!!

So, Monday morning, I got up with Hannah at 5:15am, and then brought her to bed with Eric and I so she can watch cartoons and mommy and daddy can get a little extra sleep. (Great parenting technique, I know!). Well, Eric got up and got ready and left at 7:30am or so, and for some reason, I just could not get out of bed. So, imagine my surprise when Hannah starts banging on my face and I turn around and it's 8! MOPS is at 9 and I had to go get donut holes! And Hannah still needs breakfast! AHHH!!!

So, I rush around, get Hannah and I both ready in record time, grab my fave coffee cup and we're out the door!

We go to the donut shop, I grab a sausage roll for Hannah (great parenting technique #2 of the morning!), 4 dozen donut holes, and we're off to MOPS.

At this point, I'm feeling pretty proud of myself, because I'm there by 8:50am, and I even remembered to downsize the diaperbag (the nursery workers just wanted diapers and wipes in a ziploc bag to make it easier). So, Michelle Duggar did her talk and it was really good... she is very, very sweet in person!!!

Man, I look like a GIANT next to her!!

Then, as she is praying for someone, my phone goes off and I don't recognize the number. After she was finished, I got up and checked the voicemail, and it was the nursery workers telling me Hannah had a MAJOR blowout and needed a second set of clothing. I headed back to the nursery and it was so bad, I could smell it down the hall!! Then, when I got back there, they handed me her dirty clothes in a plastic bag and Hannah is just wearing a diaper, her shoes, and a hairbow. It was too funny!

So, I go out to the car and what do I find? I don't have any more clothes for her!!! So, for the rest of nursery and the whole way home, all she had to wear was a raincoat. (Excellent parenting technique #3 for the day!)

It was one of the craziest mornings I've had as a mom so far!!
