COFFEE!
- Take my son to the potty and back to bed.
- Repeatedly tell him that “What is the opposite of elephant?” is not a question I can answer before finally answering, “Dog,” just to get him to go to sleep.
- Repeatedly curse the Baby Bumblebee “Opposites” DVD.
- Fidget nervously in bed for so long that Dave, still sleeping, literally kicked me out of bed.
- Change my clothes three times. What outfit says, “Take care of my baby. I'm right across the street?” I assemble an outfit. Then change again, because I realize I look kinda like a ninja. Sundress it is.
- Drink a very large cup of coffee.
- Fueled by caffeine and nervous energy, update my Facebook status twice, tweet about the joys of coffee, and write about 40 million posts on MomsLikeMe.com (sorry, ladies). Expect to receive a couple of calls and emails later questioning my mental stability.
- Drink two more very large cups of coffee.
- 10 minutes until wake-up. I rearrange some of the living room furniture. And then put it back because I can no longer get to the bathroom.
-
Wake Billy up for school! With the song “Good Morning To You.” His response: “Please stop singing.”
Happy first day of school!
This Friday, I find myself unusually broken and battered. None of these injuries is particularly bad, but I can imagine, if my body was a corpse on CSI, they would instantly recognize me as a mother of small children because of the following:
They look so innocent here. They are not.
5. Two bite marks that are healing: Willow has discovered her weapon of choice.
4. Repetitive stress injury in my shoulder from pushing 75 pounds of kid around in the double stroller.
3. Lower-case-i-shaped bruise on the bottom of my foot from stepping on a #%*@! piece of the magnetic Leapfrog alphabet in the dark.
2. Twisted knee from slipping on the kitchen tile after Billy discovered the ice maker and left a puddle of melting ice in the middle of the floor.
1. Bitten tongue from being tackled unexpectedly from behind after an inexplicable scream of “Get the bumblebee!”
love it
