Happy Mother's Day! And a very special shout out to all of the single mothers out there, my own mom included. Okay, I have spent the last 48 hours as a single mom of a 4 year-old, so bear with me.
My sister went into labor Friday afternoon. I missed seeing my nephew born by approximately 15 minutes. But just in time for the afterbirth. Yay!
It was a lot of work taking care of a kid. Lots of attention (I didn't want her getting hurt on MY watch) and activity, including a 4 year-old birthday party. Picture about 20 little kids dressed up as pirates and princesses running around for 2.5 hours. Especially after a huge piece of birthday cake, ice cream and candy from a pinata. It couldn't have been more insane if they were handing out speed. Although MadDog is a good girl and I adore her, I was most relieved when her parents walked through the door this afternoon. Nearly as happy as MadDog was, if not more.
People, I'm exhausted. I can only imagine what a full-time mom feels like. This is why moms totally ROCK!
