I am Mother, hear me roar.

While reading another blogger's recent post I came upon this line "Don't underestimate me ... I'm a mother." and while I'm sure people have heard the saying "mother bear protecting her cub" more then once, I think there are only some mothers that truly feel this (I'm assuming that mother's that purposely abandon and/or abuse their children don't feel this).

While I have not yet been in a situation where I feel like my son's life is in danger, but being that I have froze while sleeping on his bedroom floor, gone into debit for his RESP and got into fights with my husband about how to parent him I know I would have the same feelings regarding someone who was viciously calling down my baby.

Lacking interesting thoughts

The time has come (the walrus said...) where I have begun to slow down on the posts. Due to tiredness, lack of time, lack of any thing good to say, many different things. But in my mind 35 posts is a pretty good number to have reached before slowing down.

I've been lazy lately. It's also been hot, making my house very hot so that after dinner I don't want to do anything but sit and watch TV. I wish there was a way to bottle up the warm air and keep it til winter (when the house is soo cold).

However today, June 3rd, it snowed. Yup, that's right, snow. In June. It's happened before. So on my lunch break I tided the living room, vacuumed and started on laundry. After work, I got takeout and then did dishes, folded laundry, swept and mopped. Now for me, sweeping and mopping is a huge accomplishment. I hate doing it. I can't even remember the last time I mopped my kitchen floor. I hate it so much I'm not even ashamed to say that I let my son crawl around on a dirt covered floor. It's not even that I have very much lino to wash, it's just.....boring, repetitive movement and too frequent. And don't even get me started on the bathroom.
