Why I tend to forget...
Everyday things, like brushing the knots out of my hair, is because I am to worried about whether or not my two year old is making himself breakfast at 5 in the morning. Why I tend to wear Pajamas all day long and drink only coffee for breakfast... I am too busy, scrabbling eggs and fighting over why icecream and lolipops are not a nutritious meal. I tend to forget to finish washing the dishes, because I have to run and stop my son from washing the cat or change the eighteenth poopy diaper for the day. I tend to get two hours sleep because those poopies don't end till 3 in the morning and my only alone time happens after twelve. I tend to find myself lonely though I am surrounded by people all day long, so what if they only speak baby! So why is it when I go out on a friday night with my husband I don't notice the spit up stains until they turn on the black lights for lazer bowling. Or I don't notice that there are stains of all sorts of things, from grabbing a naked, running child across my dinner plate or while still holding a coffee cup... It's funny because I forget, when I am frazzled and out of sorts from lack of sleep and my throat is sore from yelling, that I am the one he will come to when he falls down and needs a hug, or wants a cookie or some juice. I am the one that consoles the tears when the baby is teething and doesn't understand why he's in so much pain. I guess I forget how much I am needed, and it's not so much I forget it, it's the fact that sometime I want to be the one needing, and even if I am, I don't let anyone know, because my family comes first in every situation.
