The Fish Pond: Having A Bad Day

Today so far we have:

Trout and Little Man both going back to sleep after I woke them up for school
Trout having a meltdown because she didn't want to brush her hair because it hurt, because if she wears a hat then her hair keeps getting in her face because she refuses to put it in a ponytail or clips or something, because her underwear was too stretchy and felt funny, because the socks wouldn't line up right, because her right shoelace was too tight at the top (she tied it, not me), because her coat was in two pieces and she was mad about that, even though I had taken them apart at her request, because the air she breathes is bugging her, because I am her mother and I am bugging her, because the kids at school tease her, because.....just because
BigDaddyFish not getting up when he needed to to get Little Man to school on time (he decided to forgo his morning shower to make it on time, something he has NEVER DONE before)
Sunny needing her nose wiped 287 times so far
Nemo's very first ever up-the-back-to-the-shoulders diaper blowout and subsequent bath, during which he was fussy and the water was strangely lukewarm
Me having a cold shower because, Hot Water? apparently we don't get any today (unsure why, still under investigation) and I only got my hair and important parts washed before it was just too damn icy to continue

Today is the last day to order Girl Scout cookies, so we will be forgoing ballet today so that I can take Trout to the last two streets in our development (sounds like a lot, but there are only 5 streets) so that she has a prayer of actually making her goal of selling 150 boxes without us having to buy 50 boxes of girl scout cookies. Uncle Orca is going to come over and watch the other kids so that I don't have to take Nemo and Sunny out in the cold.

I haven't had breakfast yet. Nemo woke up at 5 after I had been up til midnight with him, and he wouldn't go back to sleep until 6:30, and I had to get up at 7 to get the other people up and out the door on time, so I'm tired. It's gonna be a long day.
