I Am My Kid's Mom

Oh, that title makes me miss listening to Dr. Laura.  I will have to try to find her again.  That and Howard Stern.

Today was kind of like any other day, and I liked that.  My time will come when I can whisk away and sleep in on my own in some hotel room in some other location.  Three young kids and a traveling husband are wonderful enough for me right now.

Reade made this wax bowl for me at preschool.  We got to plant a pea plant together also:

Blake attached Reade's note onto his gift from school:

This is my first clay creation from school.  Blake is a "North Beach Seal Who Models Excellence" so his class made seals in art class for their mommies.  Blake said he decorated his in Christmas colors for me with a pattern.  I am excited that I get to bust this beauty out every Christmas.  Go Seals!

Angels

How do you envision angels?

I met two angels today who came into my home (without judging me) and sucked up the horrific throw up stain on the floor next to my son's bed.  

This stomach thing is starting to get expensive.

Mother's Day Tea

A sweet Mother's Day Tea put on by Reade and his preschool:

Paid Off

My neighbor hates one of our chickens because she keeps honking loudly like a duck.

So I tried to pay him off with some eggs.

Is it enough?  I hope so.

Plywood Art

I am a bit tempted and inspired by plywood art.  I have a great idea, but let's see if I can bring it to life tastefully.

Stomach Bug

It all started at 12:45am last night.  Blake woke up crying out, "Mom I threw up."

I slept a total of 45 minutes between 1:00am-6:00am.  Now, the laundry is going and I have a few "sanitary" chores to finish.

Blake was up every 15 minutes throwing up in the night so I am very happy he is crashed out right now.  I am so happy we have a guest bedroom where I can crawl into bed with him and help him out.

I am counting down the seconds until Piper's naptime so I can crawl into my own bed and make up one hour of the five I didn't get last night.

Date Brunch

I highly recommend a date brunch if you need a little time with your sweetheart.  It is less pressure than a date night and it is super fun to know your kids are awake and being entertained by someone else (oh, I will miss that babysitter Sunny).  We got to walk around town a bit and enjoy the air of Seattle.
