Phew….

Here I am, sitting on the couch, watching AI.  I’ve completed my marathon today.  I went to sleep an hour earlier last night, quickly falling asleep, then jolting awake, realizing it wasn’t yet time to wake up.  It was 2am.  But I started thinking about all the things I had to do today, worrying about getting Brandon to swimming on time.  Backing up from swimming time, I had to have precise timing to get things done in time.  I woke up with my alarm, not snoozing as I usually do.  Peyton had already woken up, too, and instead of coming to my room like she usually does, she was with Brandon.  I went in to get her out, and was immediately hit with this smell.  She looked at me and said, “I pooped in my diaper.”  Ugh.  I haven’t had to change a poopy diaper in I don’t know how long.  Why today!!??  And to make matters worse, she had already walked around upstairs, so it smelled like stink bombs everywhere!  I don’t know how long it’d be in there, as she didn’t really tell me.  I quickly changed her, cleaned up, and changed her clothes.  The routine was a bit goofy as a result, and I ended up feeding them while I got ready.  It may have been too early for them to eat, since neither finished their breakfast, which is unusual.  While Brandon was getting his backpack ready, he said, “It feels much lighter!”  OH!   I hadn’t packed his lunch!  We were still much earlier than normal, but still!  I threw our lunches together, thanked Brandon for reminding me, and then slathered on the sunscreen.  Peyton decided she wanted to get her Tangled shoes, and went upstairs to get them.  We were getting things ready downstairs, and she gave up looking and came back down.  We headed out the door by 715am.  Dropped Brandon off by 725am, Peyton by 740am, and me at work, in my chair just before 8am.  Ugh.  With all that, it still wasn’t much earlier than I normally get to work.  So I took a shorter lunch, and headed out by 415pm.  I got to Peyton by 430pm, then to Brandon by 450pm.  Home by 5pm, and Brandon was changing.  I fed Peyton in this time, but since Brandon came down, he started eating his leftover lunch.  When he was done inhaling his food, I packed up her food, put her milk in a container, and gave Brandon a slice of leftover pizza.  My intent was to not have them eat again after swimming.  I brought Peyton’s food, plastic wrapped over her bowl, fork sticking out, and threw it in the swim bag. We were out the door by 520pm, which would seem like enough time, but I don’t know the short cuts like Dave.  I went the long way around, and Brandon said, “Um, Daddy doesn’t go this way.”  Yeah, yeah.  We made it with a few minutes to spare.  Peyton just wanted to eat, but I wanted to check Brandon in first.  Once After getting signals from Read Full Article levitra 10 mg brain the penile, muscles get relaxed and become more perfect in time of copulation; it gets erect when it is needed.

Last weekend, we were eating breakfast and “A whole new world” (the adult version) came on.  She stopped eating, listened closely, and said, “OH, Aladdin!”  Then, when the female vocal came on, she whispered, “Jasmine now.”  She was so happy to listen to it in the restaurant that she didn’t start eating until the song was done.
