Reality

I was reading a blog last night that I frequently read. I do not know this woman, she is as they say a "mommy blogger." She was writing about reality. The reality of what her life would look like if you watched through her window.

I was thinking about that last night while I was up with Coop. What would my life look like if you looked through our windows right now.

My reality....

It's 9:00 am on a Tuesday morning.

Jason is gone to work.

Riley is colouring at the table, she is in the dress she wore to school yesterday because she wanted to sleep in it.

Simon is colouring beside her, still in his P.J.'s. He is melting down repeatedly because he can not draw the perfect butterfly.

Cooper is still in his P.J.'s too. Well, half of them anyway. I changed him this morning and didn't put his pants back on. He is sitting on the floor throwing books out of the basket.

I am in my P.J.'s...well red P.J. pants and one of Jason's old t-shirts. I have reheated the same cup of coffee three times already.

My kitchen is littered with breakfast dishes...most with half eaten food still on them. The rest of the house is clean (because of house showings) if you don't look under the bed where I stashed the pound of laundry I have not gotten to yet. Or you don't look in the far back corner of our closet where I stashed the clean but unfolded laundry.

There is fake food sprawled across my kitchen floor because Simon and Cooper had a picnic this morning.

Now, come on, I know you lurkers are out there, I have over 16000 hits on this blog yet only 3 people ever comment. Tell me what would your reality look like if I peeked through your windows?
