The Last 24 Hours

Let me preface this by saying I AM SO TIRED. Last night we had some people over to watch the Saints whoop up on the Giants. Who knew the game would last til 11:00? Don't get me wrong, I love hanging out with people and 11:00 isn't too bad (even though it was a school night). I figured, 11:00 - cool. that means I'll be able to sleep about 7 hours. Yeeeaaahhh. It would've been cool but when we let Lucy inside a mouse ran into our bedroom with her! I mean, seriously, it's 11:00, I have school tomorrow, and now we have to look for a mouse amidst all this clutter in our room. About midnight we gave up and went to bed. We figured it went in this little hole we found so we taped it up and tried to sleep soundly.
Then today, being exhausted to begin with, school seemed so long! I love my kids and most days I can find something to laugh about, but today I was just too tired. Plus Kaleb has had a low grade fever the past few days and was just fussy. I tried to take a little nap when I got home so my body would function properly, but that doesn't work so great when you have a toddler...even if you have the best husband in the world who would give up his nap time so you could attempt yours. After about an hour I got up and started thawing the chicken for chicken fried rice. Of course, the rice didn't cook right and it was crunchy so we ended up eating chicken and squash which wasn't that bad.
About halfway through eating Kaleb comes in from the office to tell us he has a booger he can't get out. Well, turns out "booger" is code word for button. Yep, there was a little green button in his nose. Everytime he would blow out so I could try to grab it, he would suck it back up. Super frustrating. Finally I got it out and it was covered in snot (as expected). So to repeat the beginning of this post, I AM SO TIRED. Tomorrow's got to be better. I'm going to hurry up and get there.
