President's Day

President's day. . . A day with no school. However, this mama took her girls to daycare. Laura woke at normal time and came into my room. Wanted to know if she could sleep in daddy's spot. I knew she didn't really want to sleep. She wanted to wait for my alarm to go off so we could go out and play on the computer together. Not sure if that is good or bad that the best mommy time is at 5 am. She laid there a while and I am sure she was staring at me. I could feel it. I asked her if she wanted to go out without me. She said no. Then a minute later she asked if my bell had already gone off. I told her no I didn't need it this morning we had extra time to sleep. This has taken about 10 minutes for me to finally cave and say ok I am ready lets go. She lets me check my messages and read my facebook as long as when she needs help with her computer game I am right there with help. I get her past a hard puzzle that needs someone to read parts to her to one she can do one her own so now I am allowed to go take my shower. But only if I don't take all day.
I have laid out clothes the night before. This is suppose to make the morning easier. However, I am finding out that both of my girls have their own opinions about clothes and mommy didn't pick winners last night. Laura wouldn't wear anything I picked out and Emily thinks the pants I picked are 'ooee'. So medicine, clothes, brushing teeth, shoes, coats and finally drinks for the car and we are off. Emily wanted carried out first as Laura was still dragging her feet trying to argue again that it was warm enough for a miniskirt. I compromised with pants under it but she was still taking her time. Emily and I changed the music because she didn't like the music Laura had picked out the other day. Since Laura wasn't there she could pick what she wanted. Or what mommy had handy.
We get to daycare and everyone is hugs and kisses. It's 8:00 and what will I do with a mommy day. I promise to come and get them early right as they are getting up from nap as I still had guilt over taking them.
Tonight there was extra time because I had done my stuff earlier. Emily got to play in the bath for an hour. Laura found the easter eggs and basket I had hidden in my closet and play Easter bunny with daddy. On the whole a fairly uneventful day. And yet one worth remembering.
