Waking up at 6:30am is a Mother's Day fail. I like to sleep in on the weekends, just because I can... usually. I haven't been lately because I have been immersing myself in whole days of yard work, torture to say the least. The baby woke up this morning and the monitor was going off, as usual I was trying to nudge my husband, but our king bed is ginormous and sometimes I'm too far away from him to reach. (I blame the cats who determine our sleep positions.) Finally I acted like I was getting up, which I thought would work since it IS Mother's Day, but it didn't so I was just like, "The baby has been awake for like an hour..." and he was like, wow I never heard him and shuffled off.

I settled down and was like aah, this is the life and then our toddler starting knocking on his door. The door that is like 4 ft. away from the baby's room across the hall. I was wondering what had happened to my husband because the knocking continued, then I realized he was probably putting the baby back to sleep so I had a moment of "Aww MAN!" I started to get up and the knocking got more pressing and I was hearing "Dada, I have to go poooop." So I went and unlocked his door and he like's "Dada, I need to go potty!" He sees it's me, I'm just like ok, ok... let's go. Potty time is not complete without the collection of things he carries with him out of his room so he has to rearrange it all on the counter before he goes. "I got a fish, I have kiki." Kiki is his blanket. I attempted to go back to bed, but then I was like well, I'm not too tired so maybe I'll claim my Mother's Day rights to a middle of the day nap. I do have to raid until 12:30 am for the next 5 days afterall.

I missed last night's SNL with Betty White too, I was too busy researching alternative milks to give my kids because taking my 2 year old off of Cow's Milk has done wonders for his Eczema. He's currently drinking almond milk, but it lacks a lot of the vitamins that cow's milk offers, so I will definitely have to supplement with a daily vitamin. He used to take them, but we ran out and it's not something that's been on my "Omg, we're out of this and I'm wiping my butt with fast food napkins" kind of need list.

I am wearing my new pajamas that I hand picked before pushing my husband out the door with the kids though and they are awesome. I have things I need to do today, but I don't want to take them off. On a normal work day, where my husband goes to work and I feed the demands of my children, I don't get dressed. I stay in pajamas allllll day long, life is good.
