3 kids. 6 1/2, 4 and 7 months. OY. Stay at home mom..... More like the ref, the chef, the chauffer, the maid, the nurse, the teacher.....
It seems to me that as a mom, you become more than just that. You become... Almost feel like you are suppose to become SuperWoman. Mom. It's a loaded title. I feel like my cape has tears in it from overuse. Ha! Wasn't it The Incredibles that always said "no capes" haha.
Being a mom requires you to be able to move from one topic to another in split seconds, not minutes, hours or days. SuperWoman. Unfortunatly, for me, the outfit doesn't fit. Spandex doesn't do my cellulite any good, in fact, make it look a million times worse. SuperWoman with her perfect body and what not. She clearly never breastfed 3 children till they were almost 2. Never ate an extra handful of potato chips because she was having a bad day. Never skipped dinner and went right to desert because, yeah, it was that kind of day.
SuperWoman has NOTHING on a mom. A mom will take her out in split seconds.
Had to take my almost 7 year old son to the doc today..... We pile into the minivan all 4 of us and head over.... Secretly I am thinking please Lord oh please don't let him be sick..... (the baby has been very sick almost every week something new she has. It's been rough...Not gonna lie) All checks out..... And then the 4 year old opens his mouth and in his cutest most sincere voice says " Hey Dr.P my butt itches really bad hehe". Only a 4 year old can get away with that. Thank goodness just a rash.
Spent the afternoon outside. Yeah, I kept the older one stay home from school. Nothing wrong with that..... I made him work on reading for almost 30 minutes so atleast it didn't all go to hell.
Keeping them entertained this week is getting hard. I am overtired, stretched thin (I wish my jeans reflected that statement) and just really need a break.... I hope the husband will come through this weekend when he comes home. (better not put that cape too far out of reach though)
This blogs purpose is just to get my thoughts out of my head.... A place to sort of release. Barely able to keep eyes open, going to call it a night and hope that the baby sleeps through the night tonight.......
