Normally on Mondays I keep a regular schedule of getting kindergarten offspring off to school, jumping in the car to go to the gym and getting baby to bed for a nap.
But today, my heart is heavy about things I understand and things I don't understand. My emotions are whacko and my baby is energetic.
So I sit.
And I brew some coffee.
I watch a Discovery channel show on mammals. Tush, meet couch.
And I put a frozen pizza in the oven. Just for me.
Being a stay at home mom means no days off. Few breaks. Little time to re-charge.
So I'm popping a pizza because I don't have bon-bons. And because I'd like to eat something without someone picking food off my plate or begging for my food with bright blue eyes. Darn cute, compelling eyes.
I'm watching animals on TV because I don't want to watch anything else that would make me feel lazy or inept. Plus, they're kind of cute.
With a little mental rest and physical pampering, hopefully my baby will wake up from her nap to a smiling momma.
A grace momma.
