Woke up at 6 am to Elizabeth coughing and crying. (I think she has a cold.) Got her back to sleep with some reading, cuddling and cough syrup. Fell back asleep myself because I was really exhausted.
Woke back up at 9 am to Elizabeth crying.
Shower, dress kids, breakfast. Leave to run some errands.
Come home at lunch time. Make lunch while refereeing children, keeping Claire from climbing the stairs and helping Lizzie go potty (when your daughter says, "Mom, I am peeing everywhere" you probably should go help.)
Feed kids, change kids and put down for nap.
Decide to take a nap myself even though the house looked like a tornado came through.
Woke up an hour and half later to Todd coming home. The house was still a mess. (I was really hoping when I woke up it would have magically be cleaner.)
Got dressed and freshened up. Changed kids and left to go to a dinner for a business group Todd is in.
Arrived at business group. Realized that while this was supposed to be a family event, we were, in fact, the only ones who brought kids. Ordered food, took Elizabeth potty, had someone spill pop on Claire and took her to bathroom to clean up, got back to table and ate part of my sandwhich, took Elizabeth potty again, came back and ate more of my sandwhich, took Elizabeth potty yet again, came back and watched Claire while Todd took Elizabeth potty again. (She was drinking lemonade and I think she inhaled it.) Decided it was time to leave because even though we had only been there 45 minutes, it felt like an eternity.
Went to store to exhange something and then ended up at the mall for the sole purpose of getting ice cream. Enjoyed ice cream.
Home, snack, find clothes for my mom and dads house for tomorrow for kids (two pairs of pajamas, one pair of play clothes each, one pair of nice clothes each, two pairs of panties, 4 sets of socks.)
Put kids to bed.
I know that my day is not any different from any other moms. I am not unique or special, but when you look at things with this perspective it makes you realize that I ought to be paid. LOL.
About Me
- Momma
- I am trying to learn how to do this thing called life, in community with others. I am blessed to be wife to an amazing man. Momma to two precious girls. And we are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our third child. I fail daily. I am more a mess than I ever thought I was. But I realize that God is bigger and more gracious than I ever dreamed He could be. My hope is that He makes something beautiful out of this mess I call, my life.
