I've gotten this mommy thing figured out too. It's really not that hard once I eliminated the source of variation. It's all about the kids. Get rid of the kids...and being a mom is maybe the easiest job in the world. Soon I'll be eating bon-bons in my bath robe and slippers, feet up on the couch, watching the "O" network. I just need someone to watch the kids...hey, has anyone seen my kids?
Little Lion is spending the night with Little Red, Little Pumpkin is spending the night with Magnum, and I'm here with...well...RJ, and we're down three cans of Chili (by we, I actually mean HE, and yes the voluntary ingestion of three cans of chili does appear to be both humanly possible and gastrointestinal predictable. I have a feeling he's going to have a LONG night..
So today, Little Lion got dropped off at the Crayola's, she took him the camp, then I grabbed him from camp at 4 and we headed to Magnum & Doc's for dinner. She made dinner for everyone (see low blood pressure above) and I got my adult conversation out of my system (so I I monopolized there friends!). There was shrimp fettuccine Alfredo, steamed broccoli, and bread.
Little Lion and I raced out the door to VBS where I once again got left alone at the sign in table by a little boy far to excited to run a play with his friends. Being a mom is tough sometimes, I had to bribe Little Pumpkin with chips, before dinner, just to get a hug and a kiss today.
Mommy Lion and I celebrate 14 years tomorrow (or today since she's in China). This is the first year I haven't brought home flowers or taken her out of town, or to dinner, or tried to plan something really big that costs next to no money as a surprise for her (see low blood pressure above) !
Sleep well all, I'm off to bed with no kids and no baths. Happy mothers day to me!!!
