It was a three-chocolate-bunnies kind of day…

Over at Kelly’s blog, she mentioned her company gives out Lindt chocolate bunnies. Today in my box I found a Take Five candy bar, which was nice, but it was one of those days when I would like to crawl inside my filing cabinet in a fetal position and stuff my mouth with jelly beans.

Let’s see…where to begin?

1. School politics and lesson plan minutiae and why not putting checked boxes makes you a lesser teacher than a teacher who does put checked boxes in her plans. Because clearly if you don’t have boxes checked for every blessed thing, you are a SINNER.
2. Discovering that my grocery list fell out of my pocket and I had no clue what I had to buy.
3. Turning around in the freezer aisle to see my two-year-old topless and swinging her shirt around her head. “Funny, Mommy!” she shrieked.
4. Picking up panini and pasta as a special treat for dinner, only to find that it tasted AWFUL and had to be thrown away.
5. The aforementioned daughter thought it would be even funnier to dump her water all over herself and the floor.
6. Eating macaroni and cheese instead of a spiffy Italian supper.
7. Bathing and putting the kids to bed while hubby is playing softball. We offered to come watch the game and he declined. “No, honey, that’s okay. It’s nothing much to watch anyway.” Yes, I know the truth. He is reveling in his child-free glory.

I do believe there is a Cadbury’s Creme Egg somewhere with my name on it. I shall sacrifice it to the gods, and perhaps my day might just get a little better. I’m also reading Amy Knupp’s Superromance Unexpected Complication. Amy, I’m on page 82 and it’s YOUR FAULT that my kids received an inadequate bath and will likely have dental problems because I did a lousy job supervising their tooth-brushing. Man. It just HAD to be a catchy, hooky sort of book.
