Mother's Day.... Another hallmark holiday. Restaurants are packed, florists are busy. Mothers of grown children probably really enjoy this day. Those of us with little tikes have same day as any other. Although I do get to say "no fighting, no whining.. it's Mother's day". But I said this like 12 times and it was still ineffective. I have to say that all my children sat through mass pretty well today. Also the only real drama was when Sadie spilled gorilla glue in a sink full of dishes. That I am still trying to clean up!
In light of this weeks events that wasn't the worst though. There was an overflowing toilet, a nearly missing finger nail incident, first holy communion, graduation party, much yard work and still acclimating my grandfather to his environment so some potty issues there too. Oh and not to forget about 25 loads of laundry also as usual.
I would like a Mothers day where maybe noone talks to me under the age of 20. One that consists of no laundry or playing referee. I want to sleep in and then drink coffee while I read a book. It isn't that this will never happen. I think it will in about 21 years.
PS...As I am writing this Sadie bit Aaron in the neck and he hit her as Violet pulled out an entire box of tissues and shredded them. (Char is sleeping.. tiny blessings). My kids have told me they love me about 100 times today and I wouldn't trade my life but a one day break once a year would be nice. Damn hallmark for setting me up for disappointment.
