ice cream ruined my night
I want to give huge props to all the single parents out there... It is a hard job to be a parent no matter what your support system is. My day was pretty good today. Except for the cold weather that has worked its way into Nebraska. UGH... I tell you, waking up to frozen bird baths makes me dread the coming months. No matter how cute my boots are or how many fun coats or stocking hats I have; I HATE THE WINTER. Anyway.... we stayed inside and played hockey. Yes Anders set Espen's little hockey net & sticks up in the garage and taught him how to play. Now all the baby wants to do is play hockey... and who is there to play but mommy!! We struggled through lunch (all he will eat is fruit of any kind)... He had a good nap and then we got ready for mommy to go to work! In between all that I did laundry (a mountain of it still sits on my bed) and I did a little work in my studio.
I was at work knowing my beautiful son was with our FANTASTIC sitter and that daddy was going to be late. And then I got the text that he would not be home tonight. And understandably, Hannah had some homework... so Espen got to come to work for an hour with me. I was ready to come home but it worked out this way. So at 8ish I was starving and Espen said he was hungry. We stopped at McDonalds on the way home. He ate a cheeseburger. Funny little boy... ate for Hannah earlier... I don't know where he puts the food! I ate my burger & fries and thought I'd enjoy the carmel apple sundae after Espen went to bed.
At 9:30pm I finally sat down to surf the net & enjoy some delightful icecream... and to my horror the whole mess is sour... good thing I didn't give it to Espen. Such a let down.. really ruined my quiet time... After a busy day, working with a 2 year old, eating a greasy burger, cleaning up cat throw up and folding a giant amount of laundry I was looking forward to the ice cream treat.... well that ice cream ruined my night!!
And back to my first point... working parents are to be congratulated. I am thankful and greatful that I have the opportunity to be at home. Having Espen out with me late and then getting bed time done was difficult. I am glad for the help of my beautiful Hannah... she fed and bathed him and brought him to me... and for that I am so appreciative. I would not make a good working mom... so I'll continue to struggle along financially so that I can be home with my great son...
