Mommy remembers the days before babies, when taking a walk was just.....walking. No stroller, sling, diaper bag, burp cloth, sippy cup, change of clothes, bottle of water or pharmaceuticals required.
Happy Days are here again.
Except for the pharmaceuticals - I think those will be a permanent part of my repertoire. Happy days indeed.

It's all about the Benjamins
Today mommy is going to work.
Mommy only works a few days a week - on the days when daddy ISN'T at work. Which is why today, daddy is going on your class field trip HAHAHAHA and mommy is going to spend the morning serving up breakfast and sunshine, sipping coffee and chatting with other grownups. And getting paid for the privelege.
So you have fun on that bus ride with daddy, along those wind-y country roads. Boy, I sure hope no one throws up this time.

It takes two to make a thing go right
Today mommy is going to do something that you will think is AWESOME but that in reality, could very well be an enormous mistake.
Mommy is going to go find a friend for Boston at the pound.
Because Boston is lonely with everyone at school all day, and mommy can't sit in the front yard comforting him for 6 hours. The whimpering is making her crazy. Since you are happier when you have someone to play with, mommy is hoping Boston feels the same.
When mommy went to the pound a few days ago with Boston looking for a buddy, Boston got his head humped frantically by a potential playmate, and mommy went home to think about it some more. Mommy thinks Boston needs a friend that won't hump his head all the time, so we're going to get a puppy.
Mommy is clearly losing her mind.

Mommy may I hab a tissue
Today mommy is going to cuddle you up and make chicken soup and read you stories and help you wipe your nose and let you soak in nice warm baths all day long.
Why ?
Because you don't feel good, and when you don't feel good, you want your mommy.
I know, because I'm a grownup and when I didn't feel good this weekend, I sure wanted my mommy.

Listen Up
Today mommy is going to try to listen to our president's speech - the one that he made last night.
Mommy tried to listen to the speech when President Obama was actually *giving* the speech, but it was very hard to hear it over the epic Star Wars battle that was being waged at that time.
During the recap on NPR, mommy was solving a bitter dispute over the crayons.
Mommy would just like to know what's going on, that's all.

Extra butter
Today, mommy is going to the movies all alone.
The movie may or may not be rated R. It's okay, she's old enough.
She is going to get a small popcorn even though the large is just a dollar more, because if she eats more then the small size she'll throw up.
Extra "butter" please. And salt.
And a box of candy that she will not have to share. Even if it's your favorite kind.
And a soda. Which may or may not rot her teeth.
