Just not a good morning...

Today was not a very good day. First of all, I didn't sleep well last night, because I was up for about an hour and a half two seperate times with a screaming baby...I don't know why she was screaming, but she was...and she wouldn't let go of her Pat the Bunny book. She eventually cried herself to sleep with it. So I woke up late and tired and already feeling behind. Then when I was feeding Alicia I realized that I was out of pancakes, and trust me, you do not want to be out of the child's pancakes!! Then we both got ready to go visit our friends and go shopping and we walked out the door loaded down with diaper bag, baby, purse, snacks, etc. and as soon as I shut the locked door behind me I realized that my keys were sitting inside. So I was stuck outside with my arms full, locked out of the car and the house and Alicia by my side...but at least she wasn't locked in the house!! So, I called my husband...no answer, I called his parents, no answer...then we went to the park. Shortly after, Alex called me back, and he was able to come back to the house to save us...but he had to bring along the guy that he was training. Alicia and I were thrilled to see Alex pull up and got ready to load up into the car as originally planned, when I noticed that my car had been ransacked (it took me a second to realize this, because my car is not kept in the most tidy of conditions), and the stereo had been ripped out...what else could happen? It was only 11:30. Fortunately, it did get better from there, Alicia and I went to see April and Bryce and had a great time, then we had a little trip to Costco to load up on Monsters for Grandpa Charlie's visit, we took a nap, went for a long walk with Alex to the park and fed the ducks, had a nice dinner, a good bath time, and then it was bed time. So at least the day got better, and at least they just took the stereo and didn't damage or steal the car itself, and at least Alex wasn't too far away today and was able to come home and save us...so I guess we have more to be thankful for than to complain about when it all comes down.
