Yesterday was a beautiful day. I worked from dawn til dusk on Saturday, so I was determined to make my Sunday amazing. And thanks to smartphones and facebook, I got to share the love all day long. (Even though this drives Travis crazay).
My first post: "It was a Country Mart fried chicken in the park after church kind of day."
We played soccer and chased geese. Swung the kids til our wrists were sore and let them push us on the merry-go-round. Got greasy faces from our fried chicken and ate a whole plastic container of chocolate cupcakes from the CM deli. Drug Waylon away from making splashes in the water kicking and screaming. And then we came home and changed clothes to spend the rest of the afternoon outside.
My second post: "Going to find momma some mushrooms."
The kids played outside all afternoon in the amazing Spring weather. They went mushroom hunting. Travis fired up the smoker and threw in some ribs. Waylon played in the leftover rainwater in the sand table on the deck while Rose Mary and Caden headed out for an adventure.
My third post: "Kids went out "adventuring", and I found them 15 feet up a cedar tree. #myheartstopped ...But obviously I came to in time to snap a picture."
Then late afternoon, in need of a bit of solitude, I went to town to return some movies to the video store and enjoy 20 minutes in the van with my audio book. In town I decided to stop by the liquor store and wouldn't you know- I got caught red handed. The clerk says, "Oh, I read your blog this week!"
It dawns on me that I may need to clear things up a little. Even though I may portray one on facebook, or the blog, I'm no superhero. I'm no mother of the year. Just your typical mom, raising my kids one day at a time.
And some days he drives me to drink.
