Perk of Mommyhood #2
Well… it’s tuesday… and I already feel like I’ve been through an entire week….my brain is fried….I’m exhausted… my back is aching….I’m just sort of “done”…. I really have a lot that I want to write… but where is the time to think? WHEN is the time to think? Presently I hear screaming from upstairs… Will has a friend over today…I’m assuming that it is happy screams…
ok..just in….I ran upstairs… it wasn’t happy screams…Will had taken his friend’s lasso that he brought with him (note to self…lasso probably isn’t a child proof toy)…and had Josh attached to the bed. All is well…no strangulations.
Anyway… being that it is crazy right now… and I sort of want to scream.. “HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO WRITE ABOUT JESUS WITH ALL THIS RUCKUS!!!!” ….I’ll just write this… it sort of sums up how this week is going…. I know that in my little “purpose” blog I was writing about how there are few accolades in “mommyhood”…..well I stand corrected…today I was bestowed a compliment… and here is how it played out.
It was quiet upstairs and I heard a little discussion…
“Will, is everything ok? Where’s Sam?”
“Mommy…sshhhhh…I’m giving him his privacy.”
“I’m pooping” Sam yells from the bathroom. “I need someone to wipe me!!!!!”
Will responds…….”OOO!! My mom can do THAT, Sam… She’s really good at wiping!!! MOMMEEEEEE….. SAM NEEDS YOU!!!!!!”
Ah, there you have it ladies…I feel so encouraged today… I’m good at wiping butts. I’ve always wanted that skill… I mean, I remember as a little girl lying in my bed at night and thinking… “Oh, Lord… if only I could be good at wiping bottoms….if it be your Will….”
ok, I know… that sounded a little disrespectful…all joking aside… it made me laugh… and I’m thankful for that today! Life can be SOOO funny at times and children really can be so entertaining. ok…I’m outta here…hopefully one day I’ll write something that will encourage you more than saying all of you are good at wiping bottoms…although… I think I’m probably the best……according to my son!
