I was having a party at my house last night, so my Mom offered to take Clark for a while so I could finish getting ready. We made plans to meet for lunch, and to just let Clark go home with her for the afternoon. I ended up getting tons of stuff done before lunch (thanks, Clark, for waking me up at 6:45 AM), so by the time I met her, I really didn’t have too much left to do. We talked during lunch about the few little things I had left to do, and as we were leaving, she said, “Well, just go home and relax for awhile!”
WHAT?!?!
I don’t even know what that is anymore. Seriously. I’m not trying to be dramatic. I have learned so many things in the last 2 years, and one of them being that a mommy is always busy. Literally, you always have to be “on call.” Between mealtimes, diapers, baths, playtime, and everything in between, there is always something to do, even if it’s just watching him play. Because, let’s be honest, I can’t let him play without keeping at least 1 eye on him because there is no telling what he’s going to get in to. And kids don’t “take off” on the weekend. I’m talking, this is 24-7.
So to have an afternoon with nothing to do was ah-mazing! I laid around for a bit, watched a little trashy TV (Jersey Shore on DVR, not porn!), and even had a whole conversation with my husband! It was wonderful!
So another lesson I have learned since having a child, to always appreciate time you are given to “relax” no matter how long or short it is!
