I'm back

It's Mothers' Day. I'm just back from changing a mondo peanut butter poopie my son gave me. I even stuck my thumb in it.

I told my hubby not to get me flowers because they are so over-priced and die far too quickly anyway. We arrived home from my week at my parents' place at 1:30 this morning. I drove the entire 4 hour drive home because Tom had driven the 4 hour drive there only hours before. Plus I had a coffee. And I get car sick if I'm in a car but not driving. We hit a snowstorm about an hour into the drive. INSANE. The snow was coming so thick and fast it was hypnotic and I could barely see the road. I was crawling from white post to white post on the side of the road that didn't drop off the side of the mountain. But we made it home in one piece. And both kids woke up of course. LG just wanted to eat and then he went back to sleep, sweet boy that he is. But LB was wide awake and excited to be back home... and didn't fall asleep till nearly 4 a.m. in our bed... then LG woke up again to be fed around 5 a.m. and they both woke up again at 8 a.m.

Fortunately I'm a morning person for the first few hours of the day. I brought up a load of our stuff from the car, and when Tomek asked me what I wanted for breakfast, I realized I was jonesing for an omelette. We didn't have all the ingredients, so we popped the kids into their strollers and walked to the store for some ham and a green pepper. I enjoy making omelettes, even though they usually end up totally scrambled. Egg, with diced green pepper and onion (soaked in boiling water for 15 minutes to soften and sweeten), diced ham and shredded cheese. A good tip is to add 1 tbsp of water for every 2 eggs. That, with butter coating the bottom of the pan, guarantees a nearly no-stick omelette!

Then it was time for LB to nap, so I put her down, and as I was walking back down the hall, LG woke up. Of course. I'd hoped to nap when they both napped to catch up on sleep, but that isn't going to happen since LG is on my lap right now trying unsuccessfully to burp. Then he was crying and had the big dump I mentioned above, and LB started crying... so Tomek went back to bed with LB because I think she's having trouble sleeping on her own after sleeping with me for over a week.

What I'd really like to do today is clean out and organize the junk drawer in my dresser. If LB sleeps and LG calms down maybe I will.
