Waving, Not Drowning
March 22nd, 2006 Caroline
Eli’s got a great beauty queen wave going these days: arm straight, fingers extended, he rotates his palm slowly to acknowledge his many admirers. “Waving, not drowning,” a friend quotes.
But not me. Lately the to-do list is overwhelming me and I feel like I’m barely keeping my head above water. Maybe it’s that there’s this 25-pound person always clamoring for milk, and a 45-pound person always clamoring for attention. Neither of them lets us get much sleep. And I know I’m lucky that the boys are the only ones clamoring; the house quietly grows more dust bunnies and the unanswered email stacks up in my inbox, but they are silent, and for that I am truly grateful.
Until I can really tackle the to-do list, I’ll try to take a page out of Eli’s book. Just smile and wave, baby; smile and wave.
