Today is Friday,
Can I Finally Relax?
Of course not, I'm mom.
Can I Finally Relax?
Of course not, I'm mom.
Yesterday was crazy. After I wrote my post the boys and I went outside and raked leaves for two hours. The whole yard. Blahhh. I really didn't intend to do that, but I (unfortunately) am one of those people who can not stop in the middle of a job. Must get done. Must rake whole yard. Why? I don't know.
After that it was back inside to make the boys their lunch. Then hubby came home for lunch and I went for a run. When I came back hubby had to get back to work, so I put the boys down for their nap, and jumped in the shower. That's right, I took a shower!!!! No, our bathroom is not done yet (over 6 weeks now) but our shower is almost done, so I used it. So what if it doesn't have a door yet, right?
So, when did I eat, you ask? Good question! I grabbed a Kashi bar for breakfast and had a banana before I ran. Not smart. I usually am very cautious to make sure I eat well when I am working out (and still breastfeeding) because if I don't, I get sick.
Guess what happened next. I got sick. I actually got a migraine. Blahhhh. So dumb. And pretty much my fault too. I just tried to do too much on too little food. I should know better by now.
But wait! I'm not done! While the boys slept I tried to get rid of my migraine by eating some food, taking some Excedrin, and relaxing. I got about a half an hour to myself and the boys woke up. So what did I do? I cut their hair. Duh. I'm so dumb. It was especially difficult this time because my right hand was numb from the migraine. But, the boys were SUPER good sitting still for their haircuts and they actually turned out better than they usually do. Maybe I should always cut their hair when I have a migraine. ??
Here they are:
Excuse the silly expressions. Must work on making "natural" smiles. Silly boys, but I lub 'em.

Wow, what a day you had! Great 'ku and here's to a much better day today!
Moms are never allowed to relax. Sigh.
Adorable boys you have there!
Oh I do the same thing... why don't we take better care of ourselves? It's just so hard sometimes when you have little kiddos to take care of. The boys hair cuts look great!
I don't know you struggle with migraines a lot but if so send me an email. I have lots and lots of info that has really helped me. :)
Have a great day!

Nice haiku. Absolutely true.
They are adorable boys, the cuts are great! I hope you get some r&r!
What sweet boys! I love those pictures. And you're right- there is no rest for the weary.
-HH
I love your pictures! My five year old boy still grimaces at the camera ;)
Hope you get a break sometime this weekend!
perfect haiku. Perfect boys...what more do you need?
I love the eyelashes on that kid.
You are CRAZY! No eating, raking leaves, running, and *then* cutting the hair of innocent children?! Hmmm!
Seriously - the kids look adorable. You did an amazing job (though I have no idea how you did it). And I love the smiles. Recognize them, in fact :)

sorry you had such a crappy day...sometimes i wish i could call in sick, but moms can't do that!
your boys are so cute! great work on the haircuts...and Haiku!
btw, i love your name...'cause it's mine too! my full name is Cathryn, so our spelling is similar...definitely better than the plain old C/Katherine!!! ;-)
Very true, everyday is the same when you're a mom.
Adorable pictures!
I loved the Haiku and I love the hair cuts and cute boys. Have a good weekend.
cutting hair with a migraine?!?!? you are brave. I see spots when I have one, so cutting hair would be a disaster!
They're handsome, even with the migraine haircuts.
Migraines HURT. I somtimes try to live through them and it's HARD.
Wow. You are awesome. I would've called spouse home & cried if I had a migraine.
Hope the migraine is better. I hate them!!
I've learned to accept the un-natural smiles. I even kinda enjoy them. Well, sometimes I do.
your boys are adorable.
I hope you find time to relax so you can enjoy them stress-free, or as close to stress-free as possible.
You did a great job on the hair cuts!
