All in a day's work.

It started with a dream. Pre-Angelina Brad and I were sitting side by side on lounge chairs, looking out at the most amazing, beautiful beach. The breeze was lightly tossing my hair. All was good in the world. Brad looks over at me and lovingly says "Mom, catch!"
What???
I open my eyes just in time to see the mini Gopher football hit me square in the forehead.
"Nice catch, mom!" Logan cheers and runs out of the bedroom. Awesome.
I roll over and drag my butt out of bed. Yet another morning where the kids have gotten up before me and run amok doing all sorts of unspeakable things without my knowledge.
I am heading for the bathroom when tragedy strikes. "MOM!!!! Come quick, Help me!!" Conner screams from downstairs. I rush down the stairs expecting the worst and there it was right before my eyes...... Lego Vader had fallen in the toilet. Even though he is on the Dark Side, nobody deserves to meet such an unfortunate demise. So I peeked in and sure enough, there he was on the bottom of the bowl. But good grief, couldn't he have fallen in before Conner used the toilet?? No such luck. So, I put on my Super Mom cape (and rubber gloves) and rescued Lego Vader, scrubbed him up and went to the kichen to start up some breakfast.
Apparently, in the 20 seconds it took me to grab the juice out of the fridge, Lego Vader, the needy bastard he is, managed to get himself lodged in the soap dispenser. I guess Conner wanted to make sure he was good and clean so he just shoved him right on in. Awesome. Yet another rescue and it wasn't even 8 am!
So, after burning the Eggo's and setting off the smoke detector I decided to call it a day. I put away my cape (and rubber gloves) and set off to tackle the laundry which I can count on to be mundane and uneventful.
I am happy to report that it was just as I expected and the rest of the day went much better! But, the best part of the day is now when Super Mom gets to refuel. My particular fuel comes in a blue bottle and says "Riesling" which I am sure means God-send in German.
