How tired is he?
This morning Colin and I were up by 6:45 a.m., and Chris had already left for work. I guess when Colin woke up a little before 6, Chris never went back to sleep.
Anyhow, Delaney got up shortly thereafter (interjection: this is REALLY EARLY in our house!) and we were downstairs for breakfast by 7:30. Around then, I heard the front door unlocking. (Insert heart attack). In walks Chris. Hmmm….
He left this morning around 6:40ish for work, drove almost all the way to work, realized he had on two different shoes, and drove all the way back home to remedy the problem.
Poor guy! We’re so tired and out of it with this stupid UTI of Colin’s, and on top of that a COLD, both waking/keeping him up half the night. I just spend the day yelling, fussing, breaking up fights, begging the children to take naps, calming tempers, soothing fussy, whiny children, etc., but Chris drives almost all the way to work (30 miles) before realizing he can’t even dress himself!

Uh…poor guy! Just think though, remember what you tell me, this can only last a maximum of 18 years. Hang in there! I am so sorry to hear about Colin though, that really is the pits. I am thankful that Carter dodged that diagnosis.

Heh, I think I would have just gone to work and lived with the non-matching shoes. If anyone asked, he could just say “I have a sick kid & I’m tired!” I’ve worn mismatched shoes before - a combination of baby distraction and the dark. People tend to understand and no one makes fun of you. DH does this sometimes - comes home early and freaks me out because I hear the door open and I’m not expecting anyone. Several times, I’ve dialed 9-1 on the phone, ready to hit the other 1 if it’s not him or my brother! I’ve also stood near the door with a weapon! I’m a scaredy-cat, though!

Oh yeah, I totally would have just worn two different shoes all day.
