The days are very long
Yesterday was one of those days.
One of those days when I wish I were one of those cool moms. You know, the moms who take it all in stride, who pick up the camera and laugh when their kids behave in a way that warrants being listed for sale on eBay. When the baby decides it's fun to sample everything in the fridge and pull knives out of the dishwasher if it's unlocked, and turn it on if it is locked, and the preschoooler is experimenting with irony and hyperbole and directing it all at mom, and then the baby decides to climb up on the diningroom table, take all the flowers out of the vase, dump out half the dirt in the housplants, and then play with the prisms on the chandelier --because how dare mommy attempt to do housework.
I'm not that mom.
I'm the mom who puts the kids to bed early and hides in the bathtub with a drink.
