The least fun....

I want to preface this by saying I love my sister and her family. She is supermom and has been a huge help to me since I had Jackson. With that being said, by the definition of "fun" today was probably the least fun I could ever have... :)

I worked at 7am this morning, which meant I left my house at 6:10am after rolling the icky garbage cans to the street, that may or may not even be picked up due the the strike. hmm.

I left work about 15 min late and as I was driving on US 2 I called my sister to see if I had time to swing by my house to bring her some stuff on my way to come get Jack. I then find out that Mia is not feeling well and needs to go to the doctor which is in Mukilteo and 4:45 was her only appt. We decided that I could not get all the way to Nicole's house in time for her to make it, so I agreed to meet her there.

Once we got in the doctor's office they took Mia back and Nicole went as well. That left me in the waiting room with Mirage, Monae and Jack. First of all, I get a little anxiety being in a medical waiting room of any sort. I just feel like there are germs everywhere and poor little Jack just wants to crawl around. No thank you. Jack and Monae have mine and my sister's Starbucks plastic cups filled with water (you know the ones that were made to look like Starbucks cold drinks with the straws?).  So, needless to say they spilled water everywhere. Then a crotchedy old woman is in the waiting room, of course, why would one not come in? She was doing that thing where you read a book and rest your head on your hand but only so you can plug one ear. Yep. That. So my next hour went like this.....

Monae dont stand on the chair, sit on your bottom
Mirage, can you stop galloping in circles?
Lets go look at the fish!!
Jack crawls away. Go pick him back up.
No Monae, we are not leaving yet, come back.
Mirage, dont yell at the babies
LOOK at this Book!!!!
No, don't fight over the book.
Jack, please don't chew on the book.
OOh this toy makes noise, look here!!
OK mirage too loud.
Monae can you sit on your bottom please
Ugh, I just sat in water.
Jack crawls away.
Monae please dont play in my purse.
Jack struggling to get out of my arms.
No Monae, thats my wallet.
Mirage, please stop running in circles.
Yes, Receptionist, I wish I had her energy too, (Fake Smile)
Monae, stay in the room please
Jack here is a binky, no more fingers in mouth (Yuck)
Lets look at the FISH!! Can you say FISHY!?!
Monae please stop playing in your diaper bag.
No, lets wait till your mom is back to eat crackers.
**Nicole and Mia come into the waiting room and go into the restroom
**clouds part and angels sing
**YYYAAAYYY!!
They come out and go straight back to the doctor's office.
Oh snap.
Monae, please sit on your bottom
Jack crawls away.
Lets look at the fish!!!
Mirage: "No MO MO you cant have a cracker"
Mirage precedes to take the crackers and run around the waiting room while Monae chases her screaming.
Etc. Etc. Etc. Etc.....

After the 3rd time my sister made her appearance in the waiting room and Monae was having a cracker meltdown, Nicole offered to have the girls come back to the Doctor's office so I could get Jack home for dinner. Then I preceded to sit in my favorite north Everett to Marysville traffic, drive all the way to Smokey Point to drive thru Taco Time to bring Mike lunch since he was stuck at work and then finally make it home almost exactly 13 hours since I had left this morning.

(And when I read this to Nicole, after she was done laughing her butt off, she reminded me that I just described every minute of her life. Further demonstrating her title of supermom, as well as making me reconsider ever having more kids!) Just Kidding.

Maybe.
