The Glory of One

It's easy to forget. To forget how easy it is. How easy it is with one kid to take care of.

EvieG is out this morning at her little I Can Do Fitness class for a couple of hours. Spark Plug is playing this morning too for a couple hours. All I have is the baby of the family, The Destroyer. And it is bliss. I am not ashamed to admit it.

I can go places with one. The world is at my fingertips with one. I am not at the mercy of the demands of the 3 Wee Ladies all at the same time. I can take my time as I run errands, as opposed to running in and out in seconds.

My senses are temporarily altered. They wake up. I can look around at my surroundings a little more. I can hear things instead of constantly listening for the whereabouts of the Wee Ladies. I can take time to smell what is around me. I can take some more time.

When you have one baby, you think, how do people do it with more than one? Well, I still ask myself that all the time. I don't know the answer either. Having one to worry about is a day at the beach. And I really realized this today as I am mucking about with The Destroyer.

This doesn't happen very often. It sure is a different feeling. I just feel my shoulders and heart rate lower all at once. It is way more relaxing with one. There is no commotion or conflict behind me right now. Peace.

And I get to blog in the morning today!

I got lots done this morning. But I can't wait to go and pick up the other 2 in a few minutes. I love the serenity of one, but am at home with all three. In every sense.

All's I'm sayin's all.

PS Guess what? Uncle Jeff is coming to visit today!! We are so excited around here. We have to make cookies, load up on OJ, and Lactose Free milk. We need to prepare ourselves from the whirlwind of the uncle's visit. EvieG said this morning, "Uncle Jeff is coming? Yay!! You know what he does when he comes to visit, Mommy? He asks me to pull his finger and then he toots!" This is what we remember best about Uncle Jeff. His visits are one of life's stinky highlights for the Wee Ladies. And for us too.

I find that when I have only one, there is a slight weight taken off my shoulders and a faster step for me to hurry and get things done. I crave when they are home again while I am with one but just feel like a can move more mountains when that is a case. Give me a Sunday morning to myself and I can have my house cleaned in no time.

Like you I enjoy these times but I enjoy the time as a family more.
