I realized something the other day (again)
The things we mothers do for our kids!!
And not just the typical - like reluctantly sharing our favorite desserts we've been dying to indulge in for weeks, or buying them their own treats that we know they'll only eat 3 bites of before growing bored or "full", or allowing them to slip into bed with us at 6:00 a.m. despite our stand on anti-co-sleeping, because it beats actually getting up that early, or trying to wipe them on the potty while your agent is on the phone with you and hoping she doesn't hear the flush - not those. But the truly insane.
Like, I plotted an entire novel on the phone with my best critique partner/brainstorming buddy the other day while sitting on the hard kitchen floor, freezing my booty off in my PJ shorts and throwing three different bouncey-balls back and forth to keep Little Miss entertained for over half an hour, straining to hear my friend talk as Little Miss serenaded me with Disney song after Disney song.
AN ENTIRE NOVEL.
The glam life of an author ;)
What do you find yourself doing as a multi-tasking Mom that makes you look up and giggle??

Weekend Memories
How was your long weekend?
We spent ours in The Woodlands near Houston, Texas, visiting good friends who moved there several years ago. We had a great time! Little Miss had a blast at the aquarium in downtown Houston - rode the Ferris Wheel twice, the merry go round 4 times, and we all rode a train through a shark tunnel.
I petted a sting ray and pretty much shrieked the entire time. ha
We also went to their church, which had a fabulous service, and then to a sunday school fellowship at a cabin in Huntsville that afternoon, where we played volleyball (okay, I watched other play volleyball!! lol) and Little Miss splashed around in a kidde pool with another little boy. We ate at BJ's restaurant and had the best pizza, got Orange Leaf and grilled out one night, I tried a Zumba video for the first time (so fun!) and played Mad Gab. Then we hit up the outlet mall and Chocolate Crocodile (best chocolate dipped apples in the US!) in Cypress on Monday, then played mini golf before heading home last night. Great weekend!!
The gym welcomed me with open arms and a hard glare today. I felt about the same. Back on the diet! No more cheating here. Sigh.
Good times! What'd you do? :)
