I Am a Parent

....A very tired parent

Up at 6 am and all this times THREE: breakfast, dressed, 1st 10 minute search for shoes of the day, hair and teeth brushed, items gathered, 5 minutes of frantic search for the car key which the 3 year old has in her pocket but can't seem to keep her shoes on, drop off at school, explain why we don't have sharks as pets, deny requests for shard as pets for the 10th time, get groceries, pay bills, stop for kid activities, deny request to take random stray dogs home, home for lunch, cleaning, laundry, feeding of animals, explaining why we don't show the bunnies to the dogs for the 20th time, more kid activities, time spent searching for shoes UNKNOWN, redressed and cleaned for kids pick up at school, requests to go find stray dog from earlier denied...begin toddler tantrum, home for homework, dinner including power struggle with the 4 year old to eat said dinner, finish laundry, garden work/watering, explaining that gardening gloves are not boxing gloves for the love of God, take 25 minutes hunting for the tutu and self hiding shoes, ballet class, baths, getting the smuggled bunny out of the tub, dressed again, hair and teeth again, cleaning again from dinner and baths, last load of laundry I pray to God, make lunches, read stories, prayers, take water to the children dying of thirst and wondering what the meaning of life is, take a shower and sleep by midnight! ....most likely woken up at 3 am by very distraught 6 year old who has lost a sock in her sleep.

....a very tired Mom, but wouldn't trade a second of it.鉂わ笍
