insert certificate for worst mommy of the year right here. today – total write-off.
i literally made it off of the couch to make her: breakfast, lunch and dinner and to grab wipes, to put her to bed and switch movies. oh and i peed twice. that’s it, except for when i was all, “ok, let’s get some fresh air, some tea for mommy, rent some new movies and take our rent out of the bank.” a simple like, 20 minute round trip down the street and back, pretty much.
biggest mistake ever because by the time we got home, almost two hours later, she was crawling up the stairs and taking little pauses cuz that’s how she does it, and there i was, crawling right behind her, pushing her up the stairs via diaper head butting.
imagine my embarrassment when my neighbour came and stood at the top of the stairs and watched us go up a flight. no, it’s okay, no help needed, really. i enjoy impersonating donkeys.
who wouldn’t?
tonite is the first time i’ve been able to get z to go to sleep before 10pm. how? all those movies led to me just stretching out her nap time later and later and later and then, by about 3pm, when she was showing no signs of tiredness, i went, “k fine, no nap for you today.” and so, it only took about six minutes (instead of the recently normal 45 or more) for her to drop off.
so once again. me. sucked at being a mommy today.
oh and i recommend the sandler movie, reign over me. i don’t recommend heartbreak kid, the new stiller movie. we’ll find out later if i recommend the nanny diaries.
