It was my first official Mothers Day and I had such a beautiful fantasy of how it was going to be. I would wake up when I was ready to wake up, not when a crying child woke me up. I would learn wonderful things in church then come home and curl into bed with a good book for a few hours while Chris took care of the baby and dog and scrubbed the house clean. This was NOT the case.
Cordon decided to wake up an hour early so Chris got him and put him into bed with us hoping he would fall back asleep. Just as we all got snuggled in we realized that Cordon had peed through everything and was soaked and very quickly shared the wealth with us and my recently cleaned sheets. After some showers and changing of sheets we were fresh and ready to go. Apparently Bud does not like Happy Jannie because he decided to grab a decor ball and shred it.... and of course the ball does not belong to us. We borrowed it from our realtor to help 'stage' our home while trying to sell it. Discipline the dog, clean up the mess and finally off to church. Before sacrament meeting started Chris had Cordon on the pew next to him. Someone came over to talk to Chris and just as he turned his head Cordon decided to lean forward and fall off the pew landing on his forehead. After I recovered from my heart attack I called the Dr. who told me to watch him for the next few hours but he should be fine. He was pretty tired and mellow at first but eventually was back to his old self. Collect our nerves, realize Cordon is not broken, enjoy the rest of church and head home. After lunch Chris was falling asleep due to serious jet lag so I sent him to bed. I gave Cordon a sippy cup then went to make dinner. About 10 min later he came crawling over to me soaked and sticky. He had gotten the lid open just enough so it leaked ALL over. Who knew 4 oz could cover so much area. Meanwhile, I had set the timer for the oven but didn't turn it on..... burnt lasagna anyone? Chris woke up and headed over to some friends to help move some furniture and I headed off to give Cordon a bath but was delayed due to his shampoo being knocked on the floor sometime earlier and leaked all over. I finally got Cordon in the bath only to have the non-slip ducky slip out from under him causing him to fall backwards and once again hitting his head. Who thought it would be a good idea to make us parents?
Is the day over yet?
