I woke up to a load of damp laundry living in my dryer, a stinky cat box and a seven-year-old rummaging through the pantry for cookies. I dried and folded the clothes, cleaned the cat box and gave the kid fudge Pop Tarts (not like that's much of an improvement over cookies, when you think about it). I was then gifted with a card from the cat. And a request from my 11-year-old to make Ramen Noodles. For breakfast.
Since then, I have washed the car, straightened the living room, fed the kids again, and saved the cat from a rolicking game of "get the kitty". Right now, the kids are re-soaking my car with a frantic game of "hose each other until we are supremely wet." And I am looking through my email, finishing up on multiple frantic projects.
I'm not writing to say it wasn't a great Mother's Day. It was. It was my great Mother's Day. Because it reflects my life, and that's not a bad thing. The only thing it needed was chocolate.
I hope that your Mother's Day was equally special. Happy Mother's Day! Now, go wash the car.
I sat around a lot today and did nothing. No writing. No blogging. Just a little bit of cleaning. I watched HGTV for about 3 hours straight. Yeah, it was a pretty good day. Happy Mother's Day!
ReplyDeleteLOL! I like it. My daughter is now watching a documentary about Barbaro (she loves horses). It's giving me a big case of the sads. I do not know how she can watch this stuff. She also watches Animal Cops. She is so compassionate with animals. Less so with her brothers. Imagine that!
