Today I
Today I woke up earlier than I would have liked and gave the baby, who really isn't much of a baby anymore, a bottle.
Today I convinced the "baby" to cuddle on the couch with me so I could catch a few more minutes of precious sleep.
Today I woke the big boy, who really is still a little boy, up from sleeping sideways in the crack between his mattress and bed in hopes of having a nap time later.
Today I was a magician and made waffles go, "POP!" out of the toaster.
Today I was a alligator wrestler and made little boys look presentable at the doctor's office.
Today I was an acrobat and single handedly crawled under the car (Ray was in the other hand) to rescue a hot wheels car that was dropped in the parking lot of the doctors office.
Today I was a police officer and averted a major crisis by checking in at the front desk downstairs and then left for a minute so that Sam could ride the "Elegator".
Today I was proud and held a brave two (and a half) year old on my lap while he had his ears checked.
Today I was loving and held a screaming one year old on my lap while he had his ears checked.
Today I was lazy and took advantage of drive thru's at the pharmacy, bank, and Wendy's.
Today I was resourceful (I remembered seeing a coupon to get a dollar off gas with a new prescription so I went inside to pick up prescriptions so I could track down said coupon).
Today I was a world famous entertainer while we waited in line.
Today I was a gardener and pulled a few handfuls of weeds while we played outside.
Today I saved the world by hanging up cloth diapers to dry.
Today I was a drum major and lead a musical parade.
Today I kissed two boys goodnight.
Today I made it to nap time.
Today I needed to make a list of all the things I have done rather than all the things I need to do...
Today I am a Mommy.

YES! That was f*ing beautiful. Being an at home dad the past few weeks makes me appreciate it even more.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful Sarah. Although I disagree with #10, not lazy just practical.
ReplyDeleteI like. I wish we had a yard so I could hang out the diapers. I hang the covers in doors to dry so they last longer but the diapers and inserts have to hit the dryer because it takes to long for them to air dry. SOOO happy to be going back to cloth diapers. Used Pampers mostly while in Ohio and felt sad everytime I threw one in the trash...almost 100 bucks in the trash.
