It's Quite

So here's a first:  I have the house all to myself for the next hour!  I should be cleaning and cooking for Cooper's 2nd Birthday party, but instead, I'm blogging.  Oh well, I'm sure that I will be able to whip things together at the last minute-- I'm a mother for goodness sakes!  I'm used to the chaos of having a kid running around, or having my elderly parents (they're only 50) yakking in my ear, or having nate say, "come here, I want to show you something".  It's strange.  

I have accomplished plenty today while everyone was around, for instance;  I made pancakes for my baby, husband, and father.  I chopped onions, red peppers, and olives for potato salad.  I mashed strawberries for dessert.  I have done two loads of laundry.  I clothed my son and got him ready to go shopping with daddy for mommy. (me, its for mother's day)  And now here I sit.  Hmm... it's weird.  I'm tempted to go and get a Chai at the local coffee shop and just sit.  But the second wind will catch and I'll get everything I need to get done.  It's just weird that I get to do it all by myself.  

I think I am becoming more and more like my mom, I have the sudden urge to turn on CMT and clean.  Yikes.  Well to all you mothers and daughters of mothers, have a good day tomorrow!
