Can you hear the sarcasm in that?
I've had a rough day. I drove to my make-up Strollerfit class, to make up for missing yesterday for an unexpected court hearing and taking Ander to the doctor. I dressed in a tank top and running shorts, and was almost there, when I realized...Strollerfit is on 1 p.m. for Wednesdays in May only. Fabulous. Sigh.
So I went to a coffee shop and worked. Ander was very fussy, and refuses to eat right now, but he had some milk and a tiny bit of cinnamon roll (and threw his banana on the floor), and I got my billable goal reached for the day. I also got some critical stuff done.
Then we had lunch (Subway) while Ander napped (again, no eating) and then I went to Strollerfit.
We are home now, and I am exhausted. Ander is relaxed and raring to go. But he still won't eat.
I gave him some raisens and some osyter crackers. He was playing with his Busy Ball Popper, and all of a sudden he starts saying "cracker, cracker." Well, obviously, I looked around for Trip, but Trip is not here at the moment. ;) So I looked in the ball popper. Sure enough, my little genuis had a cracker bouncing around in the ball popper.
Sigh.
Someone at Strollerfit whose husband is in law school asked me today which is harder, being a mom or a law student. Being a law student is no walk in the park, but being a mom is the HARDEST thing I have ever done.
Etcetera.

You are a VERY good mom!! You are doing a GREAT job!!! It's just been a hard two days. It's going to get better! I still shocked that being a mom beat out law school. I have to say I'm also quite impressed in the amount of time you spent with Ander. You work part time so he can be with his family. I wish I could do what you are doing. Yes, I know... open your own firm. That's not an option for me at the moment. Plus, I'd rather be a partner here and then adjust my work schedule here. I really do envy you!
Even after Nick started feeling better, he continued to complain that his tummy was sometimes hurting. So Ander may feel the same way.
I am totally with you - Being a mom is the hardest thing I have ever done! I didn't go to law school, but I did get an MS in Math. (That achievement did not impress me so much, but other people seem to think it's something, is the only reason I even mention it...) And I was surprised to find being an at-home mom even harder than being a working mom.
My kids are sick too. Have been at least once a week since January. It REALLY wears on you. Hang in there!
