Mommy Monday-Should be Monday Mess

Here's a snapshot of my day:
Little guy woke up an hour earlier than normal coughing like crazy and a steady stream of snot pouring out of his nose.  I could tell this was going to be a great week.
I made him scrambled eggs in the microwave.  They exploded.  I cleaned out the microwave.
Sick babies do not have much interest in eating.  Breakfast took much encouragement.
Since we were up earlier, we left for the gym earlier.  We hit traffic.  Blah
I felt like I worked out really hard, but I didn't burn as many calories as I usually do.  (I'm noticing a trend with my birth control and my weight/workouts....more on this another day).
A very grumpy 18 month old without shoes on greeted me after my workout.  We went to the grocery store and he fussed most of the time.
Apparently, the 5 min drive home was too far and he passed out.  I mean he was a rag doll.  I ended up laying him down with the blanket off the couch in the living room after unsuccessfully trying to stir him. 
He woke up screeching 45 min later.  Had to be held and rocked for 15 min before he settled down enough for me to fix him something to eat.
Once again, I had to encourage him to eat lunch.  He cried on and off through his whole meal.
I was trying to get in a leg workout while he was sleeping.  Got interrupted.  Tried to finish it while he 'face timed' with Elmo.  I love that app!
I showered and he fell down on the corner of a drawer he opened and hit his chin.  Mommy fail.
I finally laid him down for a nap.  This was 3:15.  I've been up once to recover the blanket and pillow he threw out of his crib.  Normally, I would just let it go, but he was trying to climb out after it.  That is one skill I do not need him to master yet.  Its almost 4:00 and he's still up there playing in his crib. 

Yay Monday!  I'm mentally going to my happy place today.  I could really use a nap.
