today

Baby’s got gas.
Big brother is over-tired and super sensitive.
Big sister is bored and looking for trouble.
Mommy’s got a headache.
Daddy’s got a deadline.

Baby cries and fusses and then cries some more.
Big brother watches tv, eats too many of the Rice Krispy Squares we managed to make this morning and then watches more tv.
Big sister does the same except she smears her sticky fingers all over the arm of the new chair and every wall from there to the bathroom.
Mommy nurses, burbs the baby, cries and then nurses some more while fixing a toy, sending a kid to timeout and reading a book.
Daddy feels bad for Mommy but has to keep working.

Not our best day. But then…

Baby smiles in his sleep and makes little cooing noises.
Big brother tells me that our baby looks way cuter than the baby on tv and all other babies.
Big sister tells me that I’m the bestest Mommy ever, ever, ever.
Mommy loves her kids and feels like it’s all worth it.
Daddy takes over the kids at 5:30.

There is good in everyday…even today.
