The Reason Why I Don’t Cry Over Spilt Milk

November 5, 2010

This morning, even though I woke at 7am, I got started much later than normal.  I was “awake” and on the couch, but I couldn’t do anything more than lay there . . . cup of hot tea in my hand, eyes half closed, trying my best to stay aware of what the Kidlets were doing.

(apparently I didn’t do a very good job of that since I later discovered Mr. Boy had gleefully learned how to pour milk out of his “leak-proof” sippy cup . . . all over the floor.  Sigh)

Finally, the caffeine hit my system and I was able to be normal once again — dressing kidlets, cleaning up spilled milk, and putting away the remains of breakfast.

You know — Mommy tasks.

As I passed through the playroom and caught a glimpse of myself in a mirror, I was aghast.

Red Christmas pajama pants . . . Hubby’s Texas A&M shirt . . . face still puffy from sleeping . . . hair rivaling that of The Bride of Frankenstein.

When did I turn into this . . . this thing?

What happened to the woman who spent hours every morning taming her mane into glossy curls?  Who never left the house without make-up in place?  Who always made sure her outfit passed inspection from every angle?

What happened to her?

With a sigh, I headed back to the couch.  With my Mommy Tasks completed, I had my chance to open the laptop and finish my “Blogger Tasks.”

That’s when I saw it — a note from my Hubby.

Who cares about spilled milk after reading a note like this?

Who cares about having hair going every which direction after reading a note like this?

Who cares if you’re not wearing cute, trendy outfits after reading a note like this?

Not me — there are things more important.

As Hubby so eloquently reminded me.
