InTheWeeds

You guys kicked your Mom's butt today. Seriously. I'm not sure what happened, but I felt like I was in a waitressing nightmare. I waitressed for about eight or nine years, so I recall those well.

They go something like this:

A table comes in, they can't seem to order anything but keep you there. A few more tables come in. You go to the computer, it's not working. You've forgotten all the codes. More tables come in. Nobody knows what they want. Food is up. Drinks are up. You're totally in the weeds.

That's how today was.

My POA (Plan-of-attack) was to do some morning chores. Not many. Just get things in order and put away a load of laundry. Then lunch time, then Zachy naptime/Mackenzie tv time, Momma exercise time. And then hopefully a mellow afternoon, maybe take an afternoon nature walk, which Mackenzie really wanted to do.

I never did get chores done in the morning. I kept trying to clean the kitchen, but somehow it got messier and messier. Zach's nap, well...that was a disaster. Forty-five minutes maybe. I kept thinking he'd fall back asleep, so I let him cry. Nope. Painful.

No real nap means no time to wrap up the morning chores, which never really got started since I couldn't even manage to manage the kitchen.

No afternoon nature walk.

I felt sad. I felt like I let Mackenzie down, who really wanted to go on an adventure walk and I let Zach cry a little longer than I wanted because I just kept hoping he'd fall back asleep. Hard to get things done while holding him.

The day wasn't terrible. I'll write about that in a follow up post. Right now.

But I do have to say that all I really wanted to do was put away one load of laundry. Tonight, I walked in Zach's room and there it was. Still waiting to be put away.

Definitely, a day spent in the weeds.
