So I get that the title may or may not sound defensive...or the start of an argument, and heck yes it is... LOL... Okay so maybe I should reword it? Meh, I don't think so.. Lately my husbands reply to life is "what have you done today?" followed by his usual complaints of foot ache and shoulder pain (which might I add as a good wife, I rub A535 on them for him :D) Generally, I just say not much, and let him go on his merry way down into our dungeon of a basement and hope he stays there.... seriously... Sometimes its not worth the fight, or the argument, because I know somewhere in his complicated heart he doesn't mean it quite as it sounds... For his information I'm gonna inform him of what I did today... Bear with me on this...
Today, I woke up at 5:45 AM, by the feeling of a six year old's cold feet jamming into my rib cage followed by a "oops I sorry mommy, I love you..." So then I go back to sleep, until 6:00 AM when my alarm rings so loud it shakes my brain... I run upstairs and get my husband out of bed, and get his stuff out on the table for the day... I proceed back to my couch, where I might get 15 more minutes of sleep.... Until 7:15 AM, when my 2 year old is screaming his face off, I go upstairs to get him, and realize he has smeared poop on his door... Yes, POOP, see... these are the things people don't realize DO REALLY HAPPEN to moms... So I got that under control, bring him down to eat, where that six year old that was previously awake, has decided it is time to go back to bed... When she was instructed to get dressed.... PHHHFFFFT.... argument commencing in t- one minute... After a screaming match to get dressed, it is followed by a crying session that her cat is missing... which I might add she let out of the house when she wasn't supposed to and honestly I am happy its gone, but please dont mention that to her..... We cry together, and we get that sorted, lunch in bag, bag on child, child in door... oh wait.. boots on child... take off jacket because we have to pee... and then do it all again... :D So finally thanks to our amazing neighbor, daughter is off to school... I proceed to feed the 2 year old who repeatedly dumps the yogurt all over the floor, throwing cheerios at me, and screaming bubba at the top of his lungs... We get through that then its cuddles, which I love and makes my day totally worth it...
The phone rings, its the hospital calling about Ava, meanwhile Leland is screaming at the top of his lungs.. I go outside the front door to hear, only to come back and he is fully submerged in the toilet, yes ladies and gentlemen the toilet, so we sterilize and wipe him up, back to TV. Then its the school calling, deal with that... Back to cuddles... So Its now lunch time, and I am thinking about supper, so we cook the chicken, throw that shit in the crock pot, with the sauce... Proceed to cooking noodles for lunch... yes I know its like the grossest thing ever but Leeland loves them... and at least one full meal in him is better than none...I get them all ready, in his bowl he loves... usually.. and NOPE.... dumped on the floor... screaming bubba again... bahhhh... its Nap time.. I am done... So upstairs he goes.... screaming and pinching me.... you see... Its not that big of a deal I know pinching hurts, but hes like almost 40 lbs, and a tank, almost once a day he actually bruises me... So its not fun when he fights me... Hes sleeping now, and yes I'm writing this, surrounded by noodles and no I have no intention of cleaning them at this moment, its easier when they are cold right?? LOL....
This afternoon will be lots of cleaning, and putting Ava's stuff away... and maybe vacuuming and switching the laundry from a week ago... Yup, its been there that long... I might just might, need a maid... Anyone available??
But you know what... At the end of this day, I will stand in my messy kitchen doing dishes, and knowing that I did great.. I didn't give the kids away, I managed one more day... And as a mom of four thats amazing... Honestly, I love my kids... I wouldnt go back to a life without them, and I might just love that big grizzly bear who is my husband, we have moments where I yell how I hate him, and want to be alone... But then I always remember, and this is huge... How could I live without him keeping my heart safe <3
So yes Jason, I love you... All of you... Even when you need your shoulders rubbed, when really I just want to sleep... Or when you need clothes washed at 1 am because you forgot to tell me that dreadful blue paint is on everything... Or when you decide to game all night long... Because at the end of the day, I know that thick or thin your not going anywhere, just as I am not... But honestly... Do you still think I do nothing?
WHAT DID YOU DO TODAY???
<3
