Three days with migraines means I spent three days doing as close to nothing as possible, in as much darkness as possible–so naturally I spent the remaining days playing catch up. It’s been a rough week.
Thankfully, my husband has been a huge help! Especially this weekend. Both Friday and Saturday he took both kids to play at the park. Saturday he ordered pizza for dinner so I wouldn’t have to cook, and Sunday after church we had Arby’s. Not the healthiest weekend, but hey, I’m actually well enough tonight to type up a quick post! 🙂
On Saturday morning I woke up again with a migraine, and after a couple of hours getting the kids ready for the day and getting their breakfast, the pain on the left side of my head was killing me. I had no choice but to go back to bed. I put Micah down for his morning nap, and Daniel said he and Mara would make coffee and then watch something together.
Mara loves to “make coffee” with Daddy. Her job is to push the button on the coffee grinder. This has been her job for over a year now. But the best part in Mara’s mind is not so much making coffee, as “watching something” online while they wait for the coffee to brew.
Apparently they’ve watched all the “Superman” cartoons that are online now, and they’ve moved on: to The X-Men.
Having never seen The X-Men, and thinking that sounds somehow beyond “toddler girl” level, I said to Daniel, “I don’t know if a 2-year-old girl should be watching the X-Men.”
And Mara replied, “It’s just a tar-toon, Mommy.” Then emphatically, she added, “‘Dirls should watch X-Men after they make coffee with their daddies.”
I smirked, because she was so convincing. (Who is this ‘dirl’?!?!)
Mara smiled sweetly and followed Daddy to the stairs. As she started down the steps, I heard her call over her shoulder, “I’ll be fine, Mom.”
“Mom”? Since when did I become “Mom”? She’s only two!
I really thought “Mommy” should last at least until kindergarten!!!
Just wanted to say hey and thanks for stopping by my blog! Nice to “meet you” a bit from your “about me” page. Sounds like you’ve had some hard days. I hope that the migraines go away soon.
My little girl has been saying that to me, too, all her life: “I’ll be fine, Mom.” Now she’s going away to college in a couple of weeks–and she’ll say the same thing to me as she leaves. I’m sure she’ll be fine–but I’m not so sure about me.
