Ask any parent and they’ll tell you-
there’s absolutely nothing compared to the feeling
of having a nice,
silent cup of coffee
first thing in the morning.
Especially when that peace and quiet is broken by the unmistakable sound of a toddler throwing up on the carpeted stairs on their way to destroy your morning.
Needless to say, I did not get my daily exercise in,
and my watch is telling me I burned almost no calories today.
When kid number two began to vomit, I knew that my evening plans were officially cancelled as well.
So, instead of three kids going to dayhome and the forth going with daddy for a mall date, 3/4 kids stayed at home and felt gross watching tv while dad played on his phone and made me pretty new pictures.
I went to work, because, business as usual.
When I got a few more texts close to 5 pm saying kid xx had vomited again, I made supper at the drive through on the way home.
After all, I’m sure the calories won’t count when I get it next.
To be continued?
