Doing the Dance….Someone Slow the Music Down!

I am on day 2 of being back to my “normal” routine.  Yesterday, I woke up to my 4:15 am alarm and got going.  I made the coffee and came to the computer and sat for a few minutes, trying to remember what it was that I did every morning for an hour and a half before waking the rest of the family.  It slowly came back to me.  Once I got the kids to school, I decided to take the car through the carwash.  I had remembered to grab a towel before leaving so that I could dry the car afterward.  As we were pulling into the line, I heard the distinctive sound of  throwing up, coming from the back seat.  WHAT?!  Sure enough, Gabi had gotten sick all over herself, her carseat, and the floor of the car.  I quickly pulled out of the line and grabbed the towel!  We drove straight home to strip her down, wash the clothes and towel, hose down the carseat, disinfect the car and give Gabi a bath.  

Welcome back to the Dance!

Yep, that was day 1 of being back to this life.  Luckily it seems that she ate something that upset her stomach and doesn’t actually have a bug.  I was not looking forward to jumping into the Dance by cleaning up throw up for the next 2 weeks as it rolled through the ranks of the house (still clinging to the hope that I’m right!).

Today is jam-packed and I feel like I’m standing on the play ground watching everyone play double-dutch and wondering how the heck I’m gonna jump in!  Seriously, this is my life, my family, my routine but I am just not up to speed.  So, my Dance is a little off and I keep looking around for someone to slow the whole thing down to let me catch up.  I’m giving myself this week to have 2 left feet and after that I’m gonna have to give myself a serious talking to!  

Hey Mr. DJ, be gentle!

Have a great day~
