Kristi and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Morning

I knew from the moment that I woke up to Sofi's whines coming from my side of the bed at 5:30 a.m., it was going to be a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad morning. I will try to give a condensed list of the reasons why my morning soured quite quickly.

• Since Lance worked until 4 a.m. last night, I had to take Sofi for a walk. (You all know that mornings and I are not friends to begin with.)
  
• Sofi dug up and ate something very rancid on our walk around the neighborhood. See below for why this was very, very bad.
• I couldn't find my pants in all of our luggage today so I had to wear one of my winter skirts.
• I couldn't get the hot water to work in the shower and had to wake up the not so chipper Lance to show me how to work the complicated shower knob.
• As I was showering, a strange man with a mower walked by our curtain-less bathroom bay window and saw me completely naked.
• Just as I was about to put my towel on, mower man walks by again, most likely seeing me in my full naked splendor once again.
• Lance decided to let Sofi out to play in the backyard unbeknownst of the dangerous weed whipper the gardener was using.
  
• As our doggie treats are buried in the garage under some boxes, I had to use part of my lunch (string cheese) to lure Sofi into the house away from the weed whipper.
• Just as I was about to leave the house for work (10 minutes late), Sofi threw up all over our freshly cleaned carpet. I am sure whatever she ate on the walk didn't agree with her or the string cheese she inhaled earlier.
• As I was attempting to call my boss on the way to work, to inform her of my impending tardiness, I realized that my cell phone was dead.
• I arrived 20 minutes late to work without a lunch.

The thought going though my head as I drove.

This must be what it is like to be a mother of a toddler. Awww...splendid.

Hopefully, like the little boy, Alexander, my day will improve as it goes on.
