Yesterday was Tuesday. When Mikey got home from preschool we ate lunch with Luke, fed Thomas, cleaned up the kitchen, and then he and I made gingerbread cookies. This is something he has been begging me to do with him for a few weeks now. And we did it. Just he and I. Jude and Cora at school, Luke and Thomas napping. Just Mikey and I and some ingredients, a blender, an oven, and cookie cutters. We had a great time (amazing how doing something with one kid can actually be enjoyable, even for a control freak mom such as myself!). And I was thinking. Wow, how lucky am I that I get to spend my afternoon making gingerbread cookies with my four-year-old on a random Tuesday. I LOVE it! There are long days. There are hard days. There are lonely days. But I am so so so privileged to have my dream job right now: taking care of my little tribe. Oh, and I also made chicken and dumplings for supper on this random Tuesday:)
