The times have changed from our St. Patty's Days 10 years ago, where we would take the day off work and go drinking! We'd enjoy the weather, cold or warm, seeing people we hadn't seen all winter long.
This St Patty's day started with very little sleep. I slept on the couch to get away from sick Steve, Piper was up multiple times throughout the night and I kept thinking which prevents me from falling back asleep quickly! Stupid thinking.
We slept a little late, I figured I would take them to daycare about 9 so we could just get ready without being in a hurry or anything. Thankfully at 7:45 am I double checked Presley's schedule for KTC...SHIT. They were leaving for a movie at 8:45! No one was up, no one was ready, we needed to pack her lunch and I was taking her to a different school on the other side of Johnston. So I ran around, encouraging Presley to get up and ready by herself....tried to convince Piper to get up happily. Rush, rush, rush....just what I didn't want to do with them. We made it to the school at 8:35, perfect timing! I dropped Piper off and then went home to regroup and get some stuff done.
I did some paper work crap around the house, took my bridesmaid dress to get hemmed, did a nice Target run and then ate lunch alone while reading my book! (It was nice and peaceful and I love these opportunities). I got home about 1 and did some more laundry and such, then laid down on the couch to read......and fell asleep for almost 2 hours!
I picked up the girls and came home and knew right away it was going to be a tough night. Miss Piper was SO whiny, clingy and cried over everything. We did dinner, early baths and Piper wanted to go to bed about 7:15 and then girl was sleeping by 7:30, which NEVER happens. Presley and I played some Uno, read a little and she was sleeping by 8:30. Steve is still in bed and I'm hoping he is feeling better tomorrow b/c my late night is tomorrow so I'm not sure how he is going to do having to pick them both up and such. Guess I'll keep my fingers crossed that it all works out!
