Jenny On the Spot

Mother’s Day was nice:) Thank you hubby for your sweet post. This greeting is a bit late, but hey - I’m a mom, let\’s get real!

I thought I’d write about my dream mother’s day, and then ask what yours is (or if you’re not a mother, make something up:).

There would be no timeframe but my own. I would get no one chocolate milk. I would wipe no poopy bottoms. I would break-up no sibling conflicts. My nap(s) would be when I decided, not after lunch was done and only if the baby would nap. The phone would not ring, and there would be no messages. The house would be squeaky clean - this is when ideal relaxation happens for me. There would be nothing hindering my mind from becoming jello . . . my “to do” list would have been completed prior to this day.

My dream day is simple. Remarkably, it does not include the reason I get to celebrate this day - my children. I would stay home and my little darlings would go somewhere - safe of course:) I would shower and get back in my jammies. I would send my hubby to get a vanilla mocha and a pumpkin scone from Starbucks (ooh - he did that!). I would sit on my couch and flip between HGTV and the food network. I would have my laptop on my lap. I would read new blogs and update my blogroll with my new discoveries. I would not get hungry because eating distracts from the things I really want to do - sit, sleep. read, and zone out on home improvement and cooking shows. I would experiment with at least one new recipe, but no trips to the store and absolutely no clean-up! IF I felt like it, I would swim some laps in my very own heated in-door pool (boy, can I dream!), but only if I felt like it. I would raise my heart-rate and feel the endorphins rise. This would make my second nap even better:) Of course, this fine package would be all wrapped up in a beautiful bow called - a full night’s sleep.

So. . . . who’s next???
