Long Weekend Recap

Monday long weekends always mess me up. I can never keep the days of the week straight when Monday is lumped in with the rest of the weekend. Which is probably why I was up at 7 o'clock this morning, scrambling to get lunches made and to find my other white high heeled sandal before I had to hustle the kids out the door to Grandma's.

Fortunately, Sabrina does not seem to be equally calendar challenged, and patiently explained to me that it's Saturday. I just wish she'd done that before I'd done the pantyhose dance.

I'm particularly surprised that I made this mistake, given how, um...memorable our Victoria Day was. This year I broke down and gave The Ladies sparklers. I thought about taking pictures to commemorate the event, but quickly came to my senses. Handing a three year-old a flaming stick to run around with is stressful enough without adding the pressure of trying to get that perfect scrapbook photo into the mix. Although, I'm sure The Preschooler Formerly Known As Zen chasing her sister and trying to light her on fire would have made one heck of a Kodak Moment.

As would the look on my fully made up face when Diva Girl settled in for a morning filled with cartoons and not an much else.

Yeah, that does sound like the perfect Kodak moment!

Yey you are back, missed you guys. Love the sparklers thing, I gave in and allowed BG to have them last Guy Fawkes night she wrote her name over and over and over, takes a remarkably long time to go through 50 sparklers!!

Ha! Last week was so busy at work that I kept having to remind myself where I was and when. At that wasn't even a holiday week for us.

About Me

You say "Single Mom," I say "Solo Mom." In my world, it's all about having your priorities in order, and getting my whites whiter than white is never, ever going to be a priority. Helping my girls paste glitter to their artwork, that's a priority. Sometimes I hide in the bathroom to get a bit of peace and quiet. But I never have to share the kisses.
