I include this as a a blog post instead of a FB status b/c FB only gives you a certain amount of characters. Boo!
So...there might be some TMI in this, but I have to share. Maybe if more of you laugh with me, I won't cry. So, I was going to the bathroom and had my computer with me (this would be the TMI part), all the while keeping Jaden in my sight and occupied while taking care of business (if you are a mom, you understand). I hear the phone ring, thinking it is Kyle and the fact there is no reception down at the ranch and I've only heard from him once since Sat., I jump up, close my computer, hold my pants up and run...(okay, as I'm writing this now I'm like, "What was I thinking??" I wasn't. Hindsight, it's such a beautiful thing.) As I am sideways running while holding my closed computer in one hand and holding my pants up with other, I trip over one of my pant legs. In an instant one leg slides under the other, the arm with the computer begins to ascend into the air (picture a bowling pose here) and yes, my computer/bowling ball goes flying into the air. My Mac goes one way, as my legs slide under my body and they go another, then, the rest of my body follows my Mac smashing to the hardwood floor below as my hands semi-catch me and I lay on the ground shaken. I slowly look up blinking as I listen to the ring of my cell phone die and go into voicemail. "Dammit, this was so not worth it," I think to myself as I look at my skinned arm and eerily quiet Mac. Just as I think I've hit rock bottom (literally) in about 5 seconds, the next 5 get a little crazier. The Annie's Mac & Cheese I'm making ahead of time for Jaden's lunch is beeping and has been for probably the entire 2 min. of this whole ordeal and is now most likely turning into mush, I then hear the toilet lid opening and closing while I limp over to take the noodles off the stove as my fascinated son is having the time of his life playing in the toilet because Mom decided to run like a ninny to the phone and because, well, he can. Then as I rush to Jaden to stop him from having too much fun and needing an entire head to toe scrub, my cell phone rings again. No, it is not Kyle, only my Mom calling from her Skype phone. (I say only here because if it was Kyle, then maybe all of this would have been worth it). I realize I need a 5 minute break to compose myself, get my bearings and potentially start this day over. I wash Jaden's hands (and my own), set him in his crib with books, and just stand there for a second. Aah, deep breathe. I go over to my computer, my eyes squinted and halfway closed as if by doing this I will blink my computer into working existence again like Jeannie in I Dream of Jeannie (except she could actually do it). I push the power button, it turns on!!! But, alas, a white screen, and only a white screen. The end of the story is: I regroup, take Jaden out of his crib, call the Mac store, make an appt., then use Kyle's Mac to write this post.
I'm getting my hair highlighted in 1 hour, so the day has to get better, right?
