Mothering Many

Lately, dh has been taken everyone but Dababy with him to practices, and today, he took them again to the afternoon/evening games. We have a bag with the equipment in it (and I really should throw a few medical supplies in there, just a couple of bandaids and an ace bandage, maybe one of those new fangled ice packs) and he just grabs it and they take off. I have had a houseful for so long that playing mom to one is …. interesting.

It’s quieter, and I get to spend time snuggling and watching and being with just her. It’s frustrating because she’s used to a houseful of company, and a lot of stimulation, so she demands a lot of attention. It’s really cool, because when she sleeps, as she did TWICE yesterday, I can do other stuff, like sew. BTW, she has totally claimed the quilt I am working on. OTOH, if she needs help, there’s not another set of hands here, so it’s all on me. Different days, different seasons. Just different.

So that’s my blessing this week … time with just one.
