A Mellow Brick Road...: Slow Moving Monday

By the time Mommy made it inside last night, everyone was asleep. Mommy was left to do the nightly chores, take care of all the four legged family members, and get everyone ready for Monday morning. Mommy finally made it to bed at 12:30 a.m. with the alarm set for 6:00 a.m. Mommy has to work in Lafayette today, ugggh! Well, Buddha, you decided that you didn't get enough Mommy time and so you awakened at 1:00 a.m. crying for "Momma, Mommmy, Momma, Mommmy!" Mommy went and got you and you told Mommy, "go to your bed Mommy." Mommy got you back to sleep and back in your crib (I couldn't sleep with you rolling around ha/ha) only for you to wake up every hour on the hour until Mommy's alarm clock was going off. Mommy's eyes swollen, back aching, I grudgingly made it downstairs to start the coffee. Mommy, absolutely exhausted and oh soooo sore, decided that the shower I took at midnight would be good enough for this Monday morning ha/ha Bodhi, you were up with your Daddy and followed Mommy into the kitchen. You were amazed Mommy was awake so early, it was so cute and you made Mommy smile when you said oh so sheepishly, "Mommmmmy, what are you doing?" Mommy reminded you that Mommy had to go to work, and that you and your brother would be spending the day with Grandmoo and GiGi. You instantly started "raising the roof," with your little happy dance that you do :) You then said, "Mommy I want you," which melted Mommy's heart. Mommy gave you a hug and told you I had to get ready for work. You went to sleep on the couch. Mommy did some Yoga in place of a shower so I could stand up straight when I walked ha/ha, Mommy was hurting!!

An hour later GiGi arrived and Bodhi, you were chomping at the bit, asking where Grandmoo was hee/hee You were going to spend the day with Grandmoo and Jude, you would be with GiGi and Gi-Pa. GiGi packed you both into the car, she took you, Bodhi to Grandmoo's so Daddy could make an appointment with the dentist before work. Daddy ended up getting the root of his tooth removed and stitches, ouch! Mommy was then off to work and Daddy off to the dentist.

Daddy's procedure made him so sick he ended up vomiting all over himself, so he called in sick. Mommy worked for 6 1/2 hours in Lafayette, but Mommy's last appointment cancelled last minute so Mommy came home early. On my home I called to tell GiGi and Grandmoo that I would be picking you both up early since my appointment cancelled but neither of them were ready to let you two go home. You both went to the park, Bodhi, you went to Foster, and Buddha, you went to Highland. You both adore GiGi, Gi-Pa, and Grandmoo and you always have a blast with them. Both Mommy and Daddy crashed and caught up on some much needed sleep. Daddy ended up going to his Family Service job, and Mommy made a drop (the last for this particular family as their case will more than likely be closed tomorrow).

When the evening arrived, you to helped Mommy water some plants and then accompanied Daddy inside to snuggle in for the evening. Mommy then got you both tucked in and sleeping soundly in your own little beds :)

Jude, you are getting your first haircut tomorrow :) Mommy has a crap ton of stuff to get done in preparation for our mini-getaway, and in preparation for your Saturday birthday party :) The timing for our mini-getaway couldn't be worse given that Mommy will only have a half day to clean and decorate for your third birthday party, but we all need to getaway oh so desperately!

Sweet sweet dreams my sweet sweet babes! Mommy, like Daddy, always counts her blessings each and every night... 1 Daddy, 2 Bodhi, 3 Buddha, 4 Mr. Arlo, 5 Ms. Allie, 6 Baby Ella, 7 Dora Kitty...so on and so on!

The camera followed Jude to GiGi's, so Bodhi there aren't any pictures of you today :( You probably enjoyed a break from the Mommarazzi!
