A Good Day

"Look Mom. This costume has boobies!"

At 12:30 today I realized that I had only had a cup of coffee and I still wasn't dressed. We moved from the basement where we spent our morning hanging out, playing, and watching tv to the upstairs area to have lunch. All too quickly, Henry had toys scattered in the toy room and living room. As I tried to put away the one load of laundry I managed to get done this morning, I was able to realized that my house was as big of a train wreck as what I saw in the mirror. I got lunch on the table for Henry, checked to make sure Harrison was still sleeping in the swing and worked like a tornado in Kansas to get things in order.

After I got the house picked up (minus the basement, why bother?), I stood in my closet trying to figure out what to wear. I was disappointed that my favorite sweat pants were in the dirty clothes basket. Afterall, I did wear them, well, a lot let's just say. They needed to be washed. I picked out a tshirt and jeans and frowned at the frompiness that reflected back at me. "What have I become?" was all I could think as I stood looking at myself. "I need to shop for some cool mom clothes that can get urped on. Oh well, I've got better things to do than stare at myself. I have a baby that is going to wake up any second and I am hungry."

After eating a sandwich and picking up some more, I managed to get Henry down for a nap. Is Harrison still sleeping? Am I going to get a few minutes to myself? No. I walk to the living room and see a pair of eyes staring at me and a mouth poking around like a baby bird looking for food. Oh well. I sat down to feed him and he fell asleep. I always enjoy this time of day in the house. It's quiet and I am able to just hold him and not think about anything else. Lots of times, I doze off and get a quick power nap.

I eventually put Harrison down and was able to get to the computer. I've been finding it difficult to get to the computer to do anything else but check email with one handed. I am sorry for my blog entries being so far and few apart, but it's difficult to type with one hand. At the present moment, Harrison continues to sleep and Henry is begging for me to help him find the hanger that his Spiderman costume came on. He's still in his pj top and underwear. I swear I have clothes set out for him. However, since the Spiderman costume purchase, he's only worn the costume with the exception of bedtime....I've got to draw the line but love to see him excited and wearing the costume.

Maybe I have not got much done and don't look my best, but I don't care...it's been a good day.
