Today was both horrible and wonderful. Good and bad. Bueno y mal. It was kinda freaky. My life is a friggin' rollercoaster!
Kids woke up a lot last night, and woke up extra early this morning. BAD.
Tried to exercise. GOOD.
My lunges kept getting interrupted by bad knees and children clinging to them. BAD.
Took a shower. GOOD.
Had both kids in with me at the same time. BAD.
Ran some errands. GOOD.
During an interview the kids started acting up. BAD.
She signed up anyway. GOOD.
Came home to a broken toilet that flooded my office. BAD.
Had only a few minutes to clean it up before I had to leave for a doc's appointment. BAD.
My Director came over to watch the kids. GOOD.
Went to my appointment. I get to be his guinea pig for varicose vein removal for free*. GOOD.
The vein's too big to be zapped by a laser and go away. BAD.
They laser-remove the hair under my arms instead. GOOD.
It feels like someone popping you with a rubber band that's on fire, smells like burning hair, and makes the area swell for 1-6 days. BAD.
But I won't have to shave anymore. GOOD.
It already doesn't hurt anymore. GOOD.
Ate eggs benedict for dinner. GOOD.
It turned out horribly**. BAD.
Had half a Hershey Special Dark for dessert. GOOD.
Don't have the motivation to call my leads. BAD.
I may watch a romance and go to bed early. GOOD.
* A friend's doctor is opening a new clinic and was looking for patients to come test machines while the sales guys are there. The appointment was free, and I could choose varicose vein removal, laser hair removal, spider vein removal, or rosacea removal free the first treatment. Because I'm so light-complected and have such sensitive skin and thin hair, I will only need one more treatment for the hair to be gone completely and for good. No more shaving!!!
** Never try to cook eggs benedict while supervising children. Eggs benedict is an art. It all has to come together at once. The muffins have to be warm and crispy, the potatoes hot, the ham right off the stove, the eggs softly poached and hot right out of the poacher, the hollandaise creamy, and the cheese thinly shredded. My eggs benedict tonight was none of the above.
While trying to keep my children from killing themselves, each other, or my DVD collection, I managed to overcook the eggs, undertoast the muffins, separate the hollandaise because I wasn't stirring often enough, the potatoes were slightly undercooked, and the cheese was too thickly grated to melt on top. The separated hollandaise meant the butter sopped up into the muffin and made it squishy. Eww and sheesh. I'm never attempting that alone again. It usually comes out right when hubby and I work as a team. But then again, when we cook it for dinner the kids are usually already in bed. Apparently I'm an eggs benedict snob. But you already knew that.
P.S. Have you ever really looked at the word "good"? It's a funny word. While I was highlighting I actually had to stop and make sure that I was spelling the darn word right. Maybe I should've gone German. Gut. Gut. Schlecht. Gut.

I hope the potatoes and cheese were a side dish and didn’t go IN the Eggs Benedict.
I just don't understand how you find the time to do these postings. Kids... job... cooking... hair removal... Are you trying out for Wonder Woman?
Thanks for the disclaimer. I must admit I was a little concerned when I read the eggs benedict "came out" horribly!
What a great post, even the bad stuff. I have to agree with miss C-when you said they came out, I was like oh, too much info! LOL
Hope the next series of events is all good for you!
See? And I have such a pure and innocent mind that I didn't even read anything into the "came out" statement until you said something. Took a while for that light bulb to come on. Geez, girls!
;)
Yeah, "came out" kinda made me think that , well...
Slow down... eat pizza... get a blankie and hot chocolate and a movie... Have some Princess time!
FINE! I'm changing the darned word. The English language is so picky. One word can make so many people think something unintended.
:)
Loved the post! I needed a good giggle!
