Some of you may know, I am a part time stay at home mom (SAHM) and a part time technical designer at Dillards. I love having one foot in each world! 2 days a week during the school year I take care of another little boy who is 9 months younger than Will. They are such good buddies, but typical of kids their age, they bicker a LOT!
Mostly harmless stuff:
"Mine!"
"I had it first!"
"NOOOOO!"
Most days when I've had both, I just collapse after 8:00 pm (bedtime!)...I feel so exhausted!
Yesterday was different, it was "my dream day" as a SAHM! Let me give you a rundown:
7:00 Will wakes up
7:45 Pman arrives
8:00 Breakfast
8:15-12:00 Blissful playtime filled with things like chasing balloons around, playing cars, watching minimal tv, eating snacks...almost zero fighting. Oh, and I managed to get 4 loads of laundry done in this time! FOUR!!
12-1: Nutritious happy lunch (no food throwing, no tears, both plates cleaned...)
1-3:30: NAPS!! In this time, I cleaned and organized the entire toy room, folded all FOUR loads of laundry, did ALL the dishes and started dinner.
3:30-4:30 More fun playing! Snacks, much more balloon chasing, hugs, giggles and laughter...I was in heaven!
It's so nice to have days like that when you don't feel totally spent at the end. I felt like supermom :) It was great.
