The Grass Is Sometimes Greener

Did you ever wake up and wish that you didn’t have to do all the things you usually love doing? Well, today was my turn. I didn’t feel like being a mom. I wanted to sleep in, stay in my pajamas, not do the laundry, not change diapers and not carry my over-twenty-pound baby boy. I wanted to watch a movie instead of playing with blocks. I wanted to eat cookie dough all day long. Ok, I did eat some cookie dough, but can you blame me?

What actually happened today is I went over a firend’s house who was hosting a mommies and babies brunch, contended with Aiden and his impending upper teeth, chatted with friends online during naps, did the laundry, played with blocks and had breakfast for dinner, pancakes are yummy. The day was tiring and every little thing made me want to burst into tears, but I held it together for my son. I think he could sense my mood as he was out of sorts as well.

The day ended with Aiden, Chris and I playing in Aiden’s room. Aiden’s mood had improved when Chris came home and he was jump up and down in his crib. His enthusiam was short lived as he bumped his chin or mouth or something and blood started gushing. We wiped out his mouth and gave him a cold, wet wash cloth to suck on. He didn’t cry that long, but what a way to end the day. I’m going to bed early and hope that tomorrow brings me a better mood.
