I salute you. I honestly don't know how you do it!
Yesterday I took care of my mom and the munchkins. It was exhausting. Not to mention our pilot light was out yesterday morning, so I took an ice cold shower. Eek!!
Why did I spend the day taking care of everyone, you may ask. My mom had an early morning appointment to go in & have all of her upper teeth pulled so that she could begin wearing a full denture.
Remember when I told you about how vigilant I am about my teeth? There are a ton of reasons why I am, but this is also one. I would like to avoid this fate if at all possible.
So yesterday, I took care of my mother after her two appointments and I took care of my precious nephew while she was in those appointments. Keeping a three year old entertained in a dentist's office while his nana is getting her new dentures put in for the first time is hard.
Once my mom was settled in & resting with her pain medicine in effect, we ran to get the things she would need for the remainder of the week.
We ran and we ran.
And then we ran some more.
All the time keeping an eye on the clock to make sure we were home in time to meet that sweet niece when the school bus pulled up.
We did homework, we read, we made sure Nana had taken the pain medicine.
We made brownies, we made dinner, we ate dinner & then we cleaned up.
We read some more, we did more homework, we took our baths, we checked on Nana.
By the end of the day I could barely keep my eyes open.
I made sure they were tucked in tight with prayers said & special ones for Nana's mouth.
I made it home to Mr. Potts. I crawled onto the couch and looked at him.
"I don't know how people do this."
"I'm tired."
To which he replied, "You look tired."
Isn't he wonderful?
I'm still exhausted this morning, but at least I was able to take a hot shower!
Happy Thursday everyone & remember to brush, floss & rinse!
