Real Motherhood

Today was Mother's Day
and I turned twenty-nine.

Mostly it was a normal day with a few sweet treats along the way.

We went to church last night so that we could sleep in today.
Titus wasn't a fan of that idea and was up at 7:00.

Steve and Titus were planning to run to Starbucks to get me a frappuccino, but when Titus refused to get in the car, I told them not to bother.

I did a load of laundry, "Fanti" needed to be washed.

I emptied the dishwasher, and re-loaded it.

We went to a late breakfast and Titus threw a creamer hitting the man behind us.

I got chocolate chip pancakes with whipped cream.

We stopped at the park on the way home so Titus could get some energy out.

I laid down when we put Titus down hoping for a long nap,
he only slept and hour and ten minutes.

Gave Titus a spanking for throwing his snack on the floor.

Vacuumed up the snack on the floor.

Temperature hit record high, 94 degrees,
so I treated myself to a bowl of chocolate ice cream.

Listened to Titus giggling in the tub while he created a huge puddle on the floor.

Cleaned up the huge puddle on the floor.

Gave Titus 2 more spankings for opening his bedroom door when he was supposed to be sleeping.

Fought with Titus for an hour and a half to get him to go to bed.

Had a good, deep conversation wth Steve about our life and what we want for our kids.

Got my birthday gift from Steve...money to go shopping.

Talked to a dear friend on the phone while eating m&ms.

Felt baby boy pushing on my sides.

Checked on Titus and found him sleeping peacefully...and smiled at how much I love him.

Cut the back of Steve's hair.

Felt guilty for eating chocolate all day, but only for a minute.
After all, it was my special day.
