Mother's Day.

Today technically was Mother's Day, but I'm choosing for it to not be M.D. for me. Why? I've always been one to wear my heart on my sleeve, to let my true feelings show, so here it is. Today was just one of those days that comes along every once in a while when I wonder why people constantly talk about how wonderful motherhood is, how it is such a high and noble calling, next to the angels. The day started off bad. Rachael didn't get to bed until late last night, so I knew I was going to have to wake her up for Church. I could barely drag myself out of bed due to the stress of the weekend and how dead tired I was. But, of course, I did, and everyone looked acceptable for church. She was obnoxious (lets be honest) in Sacrament meeting, my skirt was too tight across my belly, and we were both tired. Nate took her to Nursery, which took a little while, but he was successful. (Let me just interject here with my amazing husband. He truly tried and did everything he could for me today, but sometimes the disciplinary action just needs to be taken by mom, no matter what day it is. He even got me a prenatal massage. YAY!!!!!) We came home from church, ate some lunch, barely got Rachael for a nap, I took a nap, woke up to Nate starting dinner (SO good, by the way. Honey, garlic, and sage pork roast with potatoes and green beans and watermelon w/ fruit dip for dessert. YUM!!!!) The rest of the evening proceeded with the kid peeing her panties twice and pooping once, all with tantrums involved. Big tantrums. I've once again decided that I'm going to put potty training on hold for the third time because it is going to put me into early labor. (Mixed emotions about that! I want to hold this baby and be done being pregnant, but guess what... this kid is going to grow up to be a three year old too...) She hardly ate any of her dinner, has been FREAKING out about a little squishy kitty toy she lost and we can't find anywhere, got out of bed three times, just barely ending with Nate changing a poopy Pull-Up (expensive? yes, she was only wearing it for about 20 minutes.) and now she better stay in bed. I'll be better tomorrow, I just need Nate to make me a mint Oreo shake and watch an episode of Grey's Anatomy with me, then I'll be off to bed and ready to do it again tomorrow. Hope all of you other mother's had great Mother's Days and you got some sort of break, cuz Heaven knows, WE DESERVE IT!
