Are you kidding me? Today has been when of those horrible days when I feel like I should just work 7 days straight so that I have an excuse as to why I am a "slacker mom". Let me just make a list of my award winning day:
1. woke up too late to pack the highschoolers a good lunch (today is race day).
2. did not have gatorade in the house for the highschoolers--they "need" this on race day.
3. promised to leave some gatorade and snacks in kids car (parked at highschool) so they could have it for lunch.
4. pulled into highschool parking lot just as I heard a bell ring, I asked some deliquents (being judgemental here--yet another winning mom trait) what the bell meant--LUNCH OVER! So they missed getting their pre-race snacks.
5. took Will to the park--thought it would be good to take him to Liberty Park (to change things up a bit) NOT a good IDEA. Usually I really like this park but today it was full of smokers and people who were fond of screaming the f-word about.
6.pushed Will in the swing while reading my book. Some dork in the swing next to me said--"that must be some good book for you not to beable to put it down even to push your kid". To which I just ignored him and kept reading.
7. pushed Will right out of his swing. He did a somersault in the air and landed spread eagle on his tummy--some bleeding from his mouth also occurred.
8. now Will is napping, I am not doing laudry, cleaning a toilet, or making a great dinner--I think I might just finish reading my book.
So why make this into a blog--it helps to talk about it?! Try harder tomorrow--oh yeah I go to work tomorrow.
