Monkey Love

Today Tanner has been a little fussy and doesn't know what he wants. I am not sure if he doesn't feel good or what so I have been trying everything. Finally I just put him in his boppy with his monkey and he fell right to sleep. I cannot get over how much I love being a mother and seeing how much he changes everyday. Although I love each day, today's fussiness did lead to a rather embarrassing moment. Today I have been trying to get all the laundry done for my trip to Utah tomorrow and trying to make Tanner feel better by holding him, rocking him etc. Well at 9:30 a lady from our ward came by and of course I was still in pajamas (I would like to say that this is not normal for me, but who are we kidding I am rarely dressed and ready at 9:30 am these days). I did not want to open the door, but felt that I needed to and when I did she felt so bad because she was at the wrong house and thought that she had woken me up. I assured her that she didn't I just had not gotten myself ready yet. One might think that after that I would promptly get into the shower, but I figured I needed to take care of everything else and so I didn't. Well, at 4:30 this same lady from church came by and again I debated opening the door because I still was not dressed (and yes this is abnormal I am usually presentable by that time). So reluctantly I opened the door and I am sure she saw that I was completely embarrassed. Being the nice person that she is she gave me some complement about looking good in pajamas and gave me a plate of goodies because she thought that she had woken me up this morning. I wonder if I will get another plate because she thought that she woke me up again :) Needless to say it was embarrassing and there isn't anything I can do to prove that I usually do get ready for the day. However, even with all this embarrassment I love being a mom even if it means that I don't get ready some days, I love my little monkey and he is worth the sacrifice.
