Foul Mood

Ok, so today I am in a foul mood. I just get sooo agitated when things get to be mundane and day to day. We get up, get showers, Nick eats breakfast, I get my lunch and Gavins lunch together, think about dinner for that night, dress Gavin, brush our teeth (Yes, Gavin brushes his own teeth and does a darn good job at it) get everything we need and head out the door. Where is my morning? The most time I get to spend with Gavin is when he is drinking his bottle of milk. Then we are off. Then I hand him off to pretty much strangers to raise my son for the rest of the day and then I get him, go home, feed dinner MAYBE play for an hour and then its bed time. Umm, no wonder I was sad yesterday about him growing so fast, I hardly get any time with him. It just puts me in a really rotten mood.
This morning I actually stopped and Gavin and I listened to the birds outside, we watched the dump truck go up the road "PRUCK" Gavin yelled. We talked about what we were hearing and then I put him in the car and we were off. I looked at the clock HOLY HELL we were really late. We can't even stop and listen to freakin' birds. Luckily my boss is not in, but still. I know mothers everywhere are feeling the same thing and its silly to complain about it, but geez, we can't even stop to smell the roses anymore without having to worry about being late or getting stuck in traffic.
That is why we treasure the weekends so much, when we can stop and just enjoy. We can get up late, play in our Pj's and just reconnect.
I wish there was DVR for our kids, we can get them and rewind the day to know what they have done all day. Wouldn't that be something. I would be the first in line for that. But until then, I guess I will continue to put the pieces together based on what I hear and what color paint I find on Gavins body, and just enjoy the time we have together. But I can still be in a foul mood today if I want to be.
