There are those days (so many, many of those days) when things don't go well and you basically thank the Lord that you in fact even made it out of the house. On these particular days if it wasn't generally frowned upon to completely lose your mind and send your children to preschool in their pajamas whilst eating cold pizza and yourself to work doing the same - actually, you truly would skip work these days and bury yourself so far under the duvet they would need thermal body scanning to actually find you. Alas, you pull through, you muddle along but a bad day, it just sticks with you (like a two year old at a big kids birthday party).
So here's my Ode to 80's moms, care of Pet Shop Boys - I couldn't get this song out of my head today while thinking of my morning and my tug of war with a toddler...
You Are Always On My Mind
Maybe I didn't treat you quite as good as I should
(If treat = homemade organic oatmeal cookies)
Maybe I didn't love you quite as often as I could
(It’s hard at 3am when you wake me from a George Clooney dream)
Little things I should've said and done, I never
took the time
(We will make princess party hats like you saw on tv)
You were ARE always on my mind
You were ARE always on my mind
Maybe I didn't hold you all those lonely, lonely
Times
(Again, you have this thing for knowing when I am dreaming about Clooney)
And I guess I never told you (this morning), I'm so happy that
you're mine
If I made you feel second best (to my blackberry) I'm so sorry, I
was blind
You were ARE always on my mind
You were ARE always on my mind
Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died (because it is so sweet)
Give me one more chance to keep you satisfied
Satisfied (as best a three year old can be…)
