Tears, tears and more tears

This morning was quite a frustrating morning for one daughter & one mom. You all know the kind, the days you wish you could start over! Well that was this morning.

Here's a picture of one of my delightful daughters who today wins the prize for having the hardest of days.

Let me tell you why, here's her day.

• 7:00 - wake up call
• 7:10 - second wake up call
• 7:20 - takes Piper outside and feeds him
• 7:25 - starts breakfast
• 7:40 - finally finishes breakfast and mom reminds her she needs to hurry, she's usually dressed by this point, today she's not
• 7:45 - tears cause she can't find her swimsuit and her class is going swimming again today
• 7:50 - still no swimsuit, can't find it (since yesterday). Mom finds her old one to wear, more tears.
• 7:55 - mom's getting her lunch ready and asks for her lunch bag. can't find it or remember where it is, more tears.
• 8:00 - reveals to mom that she thinks she left the towel from swimming yesterday at the pool. Through tears says she'll buy a new one. Mom reassures her that if she just asks at the pool they'll probably have it. Still more tears.
• 8:05 - Hugs and goodbyes wiping tears as she leaves for school.
• 8:10 - back in the house in floods of tears cause she can't find her bike helmet. Mom sends her outside to check around the yard for it. She goes back out still with tears. Never came back. Not sure if she found the helmet, sure she arrived at school with blotchy red eyes though.

I hate days like this. Now I feel terrible and hope that she's having a better day then she was this morning. I guess we'll wait and see. P.S. If anyone comes across a swimsuit, towel, lunch bag or helmet that might look like it belongs to Shannon, please let us know!!!
