Today I had to remind myself that being home with my children all day is my dream, and that if I were teaching and missing them horribly everyday, I'd be miserable. (actually miserable.) For a hot second today, though, I caught myself going toward the miserable side.
It started out as a crazy day. Addy actually slept in her bed until 7:30! Yay, Addy for being a big girl. Darn me for relying on Addy to be my alarm clock. I started babysitting a lil boy who gets dropped at AT 7:30. What a lovely way to greet little boy's dad in the morning. It got worse. We rushed down to open the door, but they weren't here. I started changing Amy's diaper, and poop was EVERYWHERE! ::knock, knock:: They are here!!!!!!!!!! Good. That was chaos.
I moved to laundry. I thought I'd be productive. The craziness then moved to a FLOODED BASEMENT. I can spend time blaming it on a poopy diaper/blanket/onesie/wipie situation, but it was clearly my fault. None of those items jumped into the drain of the sink themselves. UGH! My dad came to save the day. Thanks, Dad.
Our couch cover is only covering half of the couch...(in THE messiest way possible.) When Bob got home from work, I told him that the couch cover is a metaphor for the chaotic day I had. I was fully convinced around lunch that I'd reorganize all of the toys that are in the dining room. They are such a disaster right now that Addy can't even "cook" in her kitchen because.....where is her pretend food? Well, the food is mixed in with the Lego's and her oven and refrigerator are filled with puzzle pieces and doll brushes. AHHH. But now I'm too tired.
So, now I am sitting on the couch getting ready to watch The Office (my new fav show) with Bob, my computer, tea, and a yummy candle. Relaxing before the start of a new day. I know that I will miss these days so much when I am back to school and someone else is getting to spend these crazy moments with my babies. (are you confused because, perhaps, I contradict myself? Here goes: I like to vent about my crazy days...but I really am the most grateful I could possibly be to be with them everyday.)
Together we can celebrate the craziness of a life full of children, chores, working, working out, eating, eating healthy, and most importantly, ENCOURAGING EACH OTHER TO BE THE BEST VERSIONS OF OURSELVES because we and all of the people we love deserve it!
Yikes!! That IS a crazy day!! :)
