A Day In The Life
- You’ll question your own sanity ninety seven times an hour.
- You’ll wonder if you should really make a bit more coffee, and consume your fifth cup of the day.
- You’ll ask yourself if it’s really worth wiping the urine off your arm, since there will definitely be more in about an hour’s time.
- You won’t be able to fathom how someone three feet tall weighing thirty pounds can possibly have so much energy.
- You’ll wonder how you can get down on the floor and start playing trains and dinosaurs and dogs and cars at 5:45AM.
"Toys, toys, toys, toys, toys and more toys" - You’ll ask yourself how it’s possible that the same creature that woke up and played at 5:45AM is refusing to nap seven hours later, even though he has literally not stopped moving.
- You’ll wonder how a tiny individual with so much energy can subsist on muffins and milk alone, and refuse to eat anything else of value.
- You’ll be shocked that a wee one who eats a quarter muffin at breakfast can have a bowel movement as big as your own.
- You’ll be puzzled at how your entire schedule will revolve around someone else’s snacks, meals and naps.
- You’ll doubt yourself when you start singing along to the latest truck video obsession on rotation on the laptop.
- You’ll be shocked when you look at the clock and realize it’s only 8:30AM, and there are about eleven hours to go before your "shift" is over.
And then…
- You’ll laugh so hard you’ll wish you’d worn that panty liner after all.
- You’ll realize that you are the funniest person in the world to one little guy.
- You’ll be asked to “Take”, and you’ll smell your son’s sleepy smell.
- You’ll snuggle and read a book about trucks for the fourth time and love it.
- You’ll find yourself breaking into a dance party in your bathrobe just because.
- You’ll check on him before you go to bed, and tuck him in and your heart will swell.
- You’ll get down on your hands and knees and play horsey for much longer than you physically should.
- You’ll share your bagel, your yogurt, your juice and your banana because for once he wants something other than a muffin or milk.
- You’ll learn the names and functions of countless types of vehicles and actually find it interesting.
- You’ll put on a silly pair of glasses, "fix your hair", wear the most ridiculous outfits and act like a mime all at once just to hear him laugh.
- You’ll sleep like the dead and then wake up at 5:45AM the next day and do it all over again BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT MOMS DO.
