Sometimes being a mom feels more like being a personal assistant than a nurturer. I am always worried that I will have something wrong with our day-to-day schedule and end up leaving the kids at daycare or forgetting to feed them a meal. This week, I left for a 24 hour call shift on Monday. I came home Tuesday morning while my husband was on his way to the airport for a trip. He returns home late tonight and I leave for another 24 hour shift tomorrow morning. With all the coming and going, it's a wonder we've kept it together this week.
Last night, my mother-in-law and I took the kids to Cafe Carolina. As soon as we walked in, my daughter spotted her buddy, Sergio, who works there. He played hide and seek with her for a few minutes then came over to say hi to my son. "Are you going to smile for me tonight?" he asked "He only smiled at me once last night." I looked at him confused. "Your family was here last night for dinner," he responded laughing. And I thought I had this scheduling thing figured out. Oh well, at least the kids seemed to enjoy their dinner... again.
