Changed John's overnight diaper and dressed him,
Then changed a poopy diaper,
Folded a load of clean laundry,
Washed a load of cloth diapers and bleached the diaper pail,
Read and wrote emails,
Organized some calendar matters,
Got John unstuck from between the window, the chair, and the BED (baby entertainment device),
Dressed myself, did hair and makeup,Put away clean dishes,
Offered John breakfast (Joe's Os), which he refused,
Ate breakfast myself while reading a magazine,
Washed breakfast dishes,
Fed the cats,
Captured Missy the cat and single-handedly gave her her liquid antibiotics,
Emptied all the trash cans in the house,
Freshened the water in my bouquet of flowers (thanks, Chris!),
Nursed John three times,
Got John down for his morning nap, and
Updated this blog.
And I am merely a mother of one little baby! There are mothers of bigger broods who are doing so much more than me this and every morning. I salute you, Mamas!
They do say a mother's work is never done! :)
ReplyDeleteNo, you're right. those of us with "larger broods" have kids to delegate to :O) They do *so* much...at least around here!
