If you are a stay at home mom, you may have noticed that recognition of what day it is, is often shaky at best or may have disappeared entirely.
Days have names no longer, just meanings. The same meaning - entertaining the kids, over and over and over and over again.
But today, oh today, I actually know it is Friday. How, you ask?
My husband had mentioned earlier in the week that the latest Disney Pixar film, Ratatouille opened today.
He also mentioned perhaps ditching some work so we could see it as a family.
Then he remembered that taking a 2 month old to the theatre is not a good idea.
One of us would have to stay with the baby.
Can you hear the wheels turning in my head already?
“That’s okay honey. You go with the boys and I’ll stay with the baby.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes I’m sure. I’ll watch it when it comes out on DVD.”

So off they went. And I rejoiced.
Now I have a glorious two hours with just the baby.
My brain tells me the dishes need unloading, the laundry needs folding and the bathrooms need disinfecting.
I also hear Lego Star Wars II calling.
Hmmmm…..
Sometimes, it’s okay to put off the housework and do something completely unbeneficial for myself or others.
I think I will.
