Some days I truly think I might be getting my shit together. Today was one of Devon’s home days, meaning we got to spend the whole day together. I like these days. He and I get to function at a pace that is optimal for a 2 year-old, rather than the break neck speed that he must deal with when being tossed in his car seat every other hour to drop off or fetch his older siblings. So today we had one of those quite, picturesqu days.
I let him watch Teletubbies this morning while I did a bit of working. Yes, they are creepy little fuckers, but it keeps him busy and they are not violent creepy fuckers -they hug alot. Then we played, read and baked. Why I continue to bake with this child is beyond me. He creates the most unholy of messes. But when a little guy starts doing the Joy Dance just because I have opened the spice cabinet, I can’t say no. Then I put him down for nap. After his nap, we headed to Loren’s school for the bi-weekly study sessions I do with the other slacker boys in his class. Devon loves these days because he gets to troll around the classroom causing death and destruction to any and all school projects that happen to be in his path. When I got home we had dinner, Devon went to bed and Cassidy and I actually went the evening with no fights. None.
So, I have to wonder if I put so much damn effort into being the ideal mother today, why am I now sick. It came on like nothing else right after dinner. I started to get dizzy and weak. I am alternately hot or cold; sweaty or shivering. WTF? I accumulated some serious Mom Points today. Why this? I so do not deserve to feel like this.

It was karmic retribution for the rest of the day, LOL.
Just kidding.
What did you bake?

Hope you feel better soon.
I remember those days. Wait, the youngest is 8 now and we still have days like that.
