I Ran into Captain Obvious Today

I only had to walk around the corner. Two blocks really. I didn't pop my 2 year old in the stroller knowing it wasn't too long of an adventure. We crossed the street, picked up my son from preschool, and off we went to the market to pick something up.

When we came to the busy intersection, we all stopped to wait for the signal to cross the street. Right when the light flashed for us to cross, my son dropped the papers out of his homework folder. Well, that was also the moment a breeze came through, taking his papers with it. Queue son crying. When one paper flew far out into the street, he let out a loud, very fearful scream. My daughter (who's hand I was still holding and couldn't let go of to catch the papers) felt his intense emotion over losing his papers and started to cry herself.

So, there was the picture. Scurrying across the street, a kid on each hand, both crying, a water bottle hanging from the fingers of one hand, two bags on the other, my son's papers jammed quickly back into his folder, and me trying to calm them both down. That's when Captain Obvious passed by me and turned around to say, "You've got your hands full!".

Picture Perfect Right?

 Doesn't this picture look nice? It looks like a Mom sitting down to relax with a good book and a glass of wine. Good for her, she deserves it. What a great way to unwind after a long day of work, play, two kids, etc. Something we all wish we could do more often right?

The truth behind this photo is a bit more warped than that. Sadly, the truth is, I sat there forcing down a glass of wine (as I hate the taste) in an effort to alleviate the headache I almost always get after a day at work. I turned on my Kindle and sat there staring at the same page, continually trying to read it. 

However, instead of reading, what occurred was my four year old telling me stories about his video game, my 21 month old trying to sit on my lap, standing in my light, and talking all about pee pee (we are potty training). Every 3 minutes one of them was thirsty, needed a snack, needed help getting something, or got hurt.

And that page turned back to the screen saver, as I set it down, unread. 

But the picture looks nice, doesn't it?
