Had a whole day to myself today and decided to treat myself... read I got a pelvic ultrasound done that I was supposed to have done three weeks ago. Anyway the day started as usual with Shane putting his alarm on snooze 300 times, finally his majesty rolled out of bed to spend his usual hour in the bathroom completing his morning preening. As this was going on I actually managed to fall back into a blissful sleep. Not even 5 minutes later there appeared a tiny human in my room. He was sobbing about how his bed was all wet, devastated that he had wet the bed. It was at this very moment that my fairy godmother (the nanny) appeared. She bounded up the stairs, changed Isaac’s sheets, collected the baby, got a load of laundry on, and made breakfast. The entire time I managed to comfort the crying toddler, convince him to change his wet pyjamas for something dry, and dress myself. I swear our nanny is friggen Mary Poppins! I adore her! I hope and pray that she stays forever.
So after the kids were settled and breakfast was done, I folded a load of laundry, vacuumed the stairs, and left the house. I spent a glorious 4 hours shopping, getting an incredibly invasive ultrasound, and eating lunch at a burger joint.
The ultrasound resulted in some very uncomfortable cramping and upon my return home the nanny made me a pot of tea, set up my heating pad in the recliner, and pulled a blanket fresh from the dryer for me. I settled into absolute heaven. It was because of all of this that I managed to tolerate a few hours of Pokémon and hungry hippos with the kids.
Happiest, easiest, most normal day in a really long time!
