I have been working insane hours these past couple of weeks, preparing for executive review after executive review - an endless number of executive reviews! So today was finally the big 5 hour Ops Review and I got it all pulled together and represented my global colleagues who couldn't be there, and it went really well! Presented some cool social media activities we've been working on, some cool ideas for more social implementation at upcoming events. Really cool stuff. So now, I am just pooped. I plopped the kid in front of the TV for some Dora the Explorer time while I let the dogs out, prepared him some dinner, etc.
But I couldn't pry him away from the couch to eat. "I wanna eat here, mommy." Yeah, cause mac and cheese is so obviously 2.5-year-old on-the-couch-eating food. Not likely. But I had such a great day that I absolutely don't want to end it with a fight with the kiddo. We already fought over the fact that I only gave him a bite of the gigantic cookie I brought home from work. So I proceeded to sit with him on the couch and feed him mac and cheese while he watched. Great parenting, I know.
But he's happy, he's fed, and he's not screaming at me. And now I can get him to take a bath and go to bed and still claim to have had an awsome day!
Reilly just yelled, "What are you doing?" I said, "I'm writing a blog post about how I'm a bad mommy." He said, "I talkin about Loki. Not about you, mommy." (Loki is our dog... apparently she was bothering him).
