some days

listen...i'm not going to be modest about it. some days i've got it going on. toys are played with and put away, laundry is done and folded, dishes are rinsed and put in the dishwasher, all meals are planned and thoughtfully homemade, diapers and toiletries are stocked, house is clean and shiney, children are clean and put together, i've had a workout and a shower, books are read and songs are sung, crafts are made, lessons are taught, memories are captured on film, great naps are taken, patience is plentiful, we do the maritals, i've had time to unwind in front of the tv or computer AND still find time to iron my supermom cape. seriously. some days are like that.

but i'm also not going to lie. some days, ahem, not so much. er, or not at all. like the exact opposite. toys are everywhere and i've tripped and hurt myself several times, clothes are hanging over anything that has caught them, dishes are crusty and piling up, meals are random and tossed on a plate, we're running out of milk or toilet paper or something noteworthy, the house needs to be hosed down, children are mismatched and stained, i'm mismatched and stained, books are ripped, all three of us girls have cried and yelled, naps are short or not at all, irribility and sarcasm are plentiful, i bicker with my hubby, i have been holding my pee for waaay too long cuz i haven't had the 3 seconds to escape and my supermom cape is shredded balled up in my fist ready to be jammed down someone's throat who dares to even look at me wrong. seriously. some days are like that.

but of course the majority of our days are some where in between. where there are certainly some toys out and about, laundry is somewhat caught up, dishes are put away at some point, breakfast is easy peasy but dinner was thoughtfully planned and prepared, i'm starting a list for our next trip to the store, the house is clean but not white glove clean, we're presentable but not in our best, books are read, songs are sung, lessons are taught and hopefully learned, decent naps are had, all 3 girls are calm and laugh easily, there's crying from 2 little girls at some point but they quickly recuperate, the baby daddy and i work as a team, i've had time to chat with a friend or read a few pages in my book and my supermom cape is hung ready to strap on if necessary. seriously. these are most days.

regardless of the mood of the day...everyday...yes, everyday...we dance. it's true. is it weird? maybe. is it fun? yep. and THAT is really ALL that matters.
