I'm sitting here on the couch feeling pretty damned lazy. Reyna is laying beside me kicking at my arm, grabbing her toes, clutching her stuffed bear/blankie, scratching at the couch because she likes the sound and making happy noises (I think, it's hard to tell at this age).
Lindzy is in her bed sleeping, I can hear her moving around and talking in her sleep; something she does all the time. Her bed is piled with blankets and stuffed animals and pillows. She also has a chapter book up there that she reads to either my mom over the phone or our dog before bed.
Our dog is in bed with Lindzy also sleeping, though I give it about ten more minutes then she'll hear me watching TV and start whining. I'll walk in to the bathroom and she'll have her head stuck out of the bunk bed bars with her tail wagging. I'll ignore her.
Dishes are piled in the sink, I guess piled is a bit of an exaggeration but they are stacked. Water bottles are on the window ledge because we use it as a table and there's a plate sitting on the other side of the couch. The floor could use a vacuuming, though not terrible it's been a at least a week. I have crafts that I really want to do so boards and glue guns and felt is all over the place. I just don't have the time.
But instead of cleaning like I should have today, I read to my daughter. I fed her some baby food she finally decided to like rather than spitting at me, I gave us both a shower where we played for at least 30 minutes, and I played "my hand is coming to get you run away" with Reyna.I taught Lindzy how to play Hearthstone - an online card game - helped her color on her new back pack, listened to music while we talked about all the games we'd play at her birthday party (no kinect outside, bad mom), and we watched the new Grey's Anatomy because my 6 year old is determined to be a doctor.
I made tuna fish and egg sandwiches while we all played a "choose your own adventure" game and talked. We cuddled. We loved. I didn't do anything I was supposed to do today.
Who cares?
I think you did everything you were supposed to do
