Once upon a long yesterday....

Hmmm.... Here we go again! ;)


Once upon a long yesterday, I sat on the floor with the baby to play
I gave her a toy, she reached for a book, she gave me the grin when I gave her the look
A while went by and then she was done, the playing with toys on the floor was no fun
Into the walker so around she can cruise, I walk down the hall and I trip on some shoes
"Girls!" I yell loudly as I hit the side wall, "Come get your freaking shoes out of this hall!"
A shoe rack conveniently sits right by the door that apparently shoes don't go in anymore
I get to the kitchen to put dishes away when here comes the walker for exploring and play
"She can't reach a thing..." but I spoke too soon. She rolled to the dishes and grabbed her a spoon.
A big plastic spoon went straight to her face, some biting and drool, she must like the taste... :/
It's time for lunch so she goes in her chair. It's not "what will she EAT?" it's "what will I WEAR?"
Sure enough we both were covered in peas after eating and spitting and even a sneeze.
We both get cleaned up and it's time for a nap, but her favorite cup is in dad's truck.. oh CRAP!
Find another, it's just not the same... I swear if she talked she'd be screaming my name..
Some music, her blanket and a warm little drink.. Then slowly to dreamland she starts to sink...
I don't want to fold, I don't want to clean... I want to do NOTHING, you know what I mean!
The girls playing Legos and the baby asleep... Quietly to the couch I started to creep..
I pick up my tablet to read some of a book but before I get comfy I listen and look...
Still so quiet it's like nobody's here... As soon as it's on I notice gross smears...
What the hell is that? It's wet but it's not... I almost yelled "Girls!", I almost forgot..
Then I remembered and I did a small roar... "Looks like they're touching this tablet no more!"
I muttered and mumbled as I cleaned the glass. I just want a minute to sit on my ass!
I got twenty minutes which I GUESS was enough.. It was time to attempt my not so fun stuff.
Down to the washer of clothes not yet started then up to the kitchen where my daughter just farted.
"Go away, go away, you gross little thing!" she ran away laughing then started to sing.
Just a few tracks in my playlist of life.. My God, I'm a lucky mother and wife!
A short while later, the baby's awake... Please just stay happy, for sanity's sake...
Thankfully nothing but smiles and grins and a small little bubble of drool on her chin.
Out of the crib and up to my chest. Her little arms hug me like I'm simply the best..
Fast forward, it's dinner, "What should I make?" "Pizza" "Hot dogs" "I don't care" "Cake?"
More mumbles and grumbles, in the pantry I scan... Pasta? Chicken? I don't know man!
(I stood there for minutes, continued to look... Did I ever mention that I HATE to cook?!?)
Find something, prepare it, consume it, all right. Time to get ready for the end of the night.
Baby food, bath time, PJ's and teeth. "yes Mom the room's clean". Except the bed underneath..
"We'll get it tomorrow.." now time to read. Twenty minutes... "The End?"  INDEED!
Kisses and hugs, tucked in all tight. "See you in the morning, I love you. Good night!"
Warm drink for the baby and a nice little song.. Knowing she'll be up again before long...
"I'd love a massage..." with a nice little wink. My husband and I.. well, what do you think!
Went right to bed and fell asleep quick.. (That's the nice version without making you sick) ;)
Finally bedtime.. This day's been so long... My eyes feel so heavy.. The sandman is strong...
That's it. It's over. I'm finished. I'm OUT! The good happy ending that I'm all about...
Of course there was more, I could go on for days... And it might be amusing in so many ways...
But I'll come to a close and quietly pray.. That tomorrow will not be another today...

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE!!!! -Super Mom
