Okay so obviously I skipped days 4, 5, and 6 on this journey but I'm back today so we'll just gloss over it. I skipped those days because the children were home and I don't get much time to hole up in the office and type out a witty and yet vulnerable blog about a Mom who thinks there's no such thing as "having it all".
I am writing tonight even though, as I described to my friend earlier, grossly sick. I don't mean communicable disease sick or Christina Aguilera herpes sick but coughing up my right lung and choking on mucous sick.
I have no time to be sick so I'm going to the doctor in the am. I've had people ask me what I am going to do now that I'm not working. Well since I still have five kids, and I still go to school, and I still am on the PTA, volunteer at school, and am on every committee from here to Nantucket, I think I'll keep busy. This week alone I have something every night, not to mention the kids activities and Miss Shelby's 1st birthday party.
I really have no time to lay in bed and watch Marley and Me and eat bon bons till I no longer sound like a lady of the night with a bad smoking habit. Trust me I tried.
I don't even know why God tries to have us be sick. Is it an attempt to slow us Moms down? Because it ain't working. I do not know of one Mom who can ever just be sick. I have no such friends who can lay down for more than ten minutes without some child crying, or needing to be fed, or wanting something...anything!!!!
My husband stubs his toe and he needs to take a two hour nap. I vomit on the way to drop off and still pick up cup cakes for the cake walk. Some days I wonder how much simpler life would be if I was a man. Then I remember the dangle bits and that dream pops faster than a balloon at a 5 years old's birthday party.
I know these times go by fast so I really don't mind sucking it up when I'm sick and keeping life in motion. I know when they're all grown I will have time to be sick, or read a whole book, or have a nice evening anywhere. I can burn myself out just to insure they're happy because that's what we do, isn't it?
