Bohemian – Day 18
As a mom, some days I feel completely fulfilled and I’m totally comfortable being an extra in the movie that my children are starring in. I don’t mind eating the leftovers on someone’s plate for my lunch. I’m okay with being chauffer, cook and house cleaner without the constant stream of weeping, groveling gratitude I feel should be showered upon me for doing such thankless chores. I don’t even mind that in the last ten years I haven’t taken a relaxing bubble bath for five seconds without someone small and not relaxing joining me with a bunch of squirting sea creatures.
And then there are some days I’m not okay with any of it. What about me? Why can’t I eat a meal without having to share it? Why can’t someone drive me somewhere or do my laundry? Doesn’t anyone seem to realize that I’m trying to be fabulous here?
Yesterday was a not-okay-with-it day. A large animal vet came over to give our goats and pig a check up. The house was a mess, I had millions of errands to run and I no idea what dinner was going to be and all I could think of as I watched our pig get his hooves filed down was –
Why can’t I be sedated and get a pedicure?
