My Mothers Day was awesome - thanks for askin'!

Heres how my day went:

2am - wake to a wailing toddler covered in puke

230am - bathed & put toddler back to sleep

3am - crying toddler, rocked her to back to sleep

330am - up again, screaming

530am - up for good :-/

730am - finally let the dog out & find shes covered in pee :-( poor thing!

clean kennel

8am - resentfully decide to make own breakfast, as I am still the only one awake with toddler.

burn the bacon, realize there are no eggs left.

toss pots & pans around, stomp loudly.

830am - oldest child wakes to smell of burnt bacon

9am - husband finally wakes & informs me that hes feeling pukey too :(

cancel plans with moms, aunt & mother in law.

make a run to grocery store for 7up & saltines

10am - bathe cranky toddler in attempts to calm her

... calm & quiet, followed by a tub filled with baby ruths ... and NO, I am not talking chocolate here.

11am - amazing 2.5 hour nap for toddler & mommy

The rest of the day is a blur but I realized ... what is being a mom in the absence of poop, pee & puke anyways??

{... still doesnt come close to the way my heart swells when I read my handmade card from my 10 year which told me she thought I was the most stylish, smart, pretty & COOL (yup - her words, not mine) woman in the world! ... and my husband telling me he was sorry he was sick and still thought I was the best mom he'd ever witnessed and how lucky he thought they were to have me. ::sigh:: Tis the blessed life of a mom ;) }
