WANTED: One Fairy Godmother

Now accepting applications for a Fairy Godmother. Must provide own wand. Job requirements include the ability to provide a clean house instantly, laundry cleaned and put away at a moment's notice, instant delivery of groceries and household items, and providing a full night's sleep.

Seriously, while all that would be nice, I don't have my head so far in the clouds to actually think a sweet little old lady is going to appear in front of my eyes faster than I can say "bippity boppity boo." But wouldn't it be nice if it would happen? Jackson was extra gassy - and therefore extra fussy - Monday and he wanted nothing more than to be held and cuddled since he didn't feel well. I absolutely love and adore holding and cuddling him. But I try not to do it ALL the time because (a) I don't want him to think he needs to ALWAYS be held and cuddled, and (b) if I did, I would NEVER get anything done around my house. Monday, however, was an exception since I could tell he wasn't feeling well. After a while though I decided I needed help, so we packed up and went to my parent's house so that Nana could help comfort him too. (and I could go to the bathroom in peace without hearing him scream in protest to being put down. ) We ended up staying there a couple of nights. So, add together the time I spent Monday holding him rather than taking care of stuff around the house, plus Monday evening through Thursday late afternoon not being home, and the things I try to do when Jackson sleeps piled up. I have laundry in both the washer and dryer right now. Thankfully, I wasn't home to make a mess in the kitchen and I did get the trash out to the curb for pickup before I left. I usually try to take care of the deeper cleaning things (mopping, laundry, bathroom clean-up, etc) while Jackson naps. So now I get to play catchup. So, if you know of a Fairy Godmother looking for work, send her my way.
