As I laid my two little ones down to sleep, I knelt down next to the toddler bed and leaned in for a snuggly hug.  "Are you going to lay with me", my 3yo asked me with bright eyes.  "No, Sweet Boy", I replied.  I explained that Mommy had to go get some rest too. 

Because, I was so close to him, I could see right up his nose and noticed that it needed cleaning.  I grabbed a tissue and proceeded to clean it for him. He promptly proceeded to tell me, "You're not a doctor, Mommy"...

I stifled my urge to laugh in his face because he was so serious.  I said, "No, I'm not a doctor, but I'm a Mommy and I need to clean your nose.".  I made my way downstairs thinking how wonderful it is to be a mother at home with my children and to be able to catch great moments like that.  

I arrived downstairs to find the mess from this morning awaiting me..I sighed...I'm the cleaning lady...

I made my way from the living room to the kitchen...No, I'm the cook...

The refrigerator caught my eye and I noticed the menu for this week...Really...I'm the nutritionist...

Our island got my attention because the screwdriver was there were I left it earlier...I'm a handiwoman...

I remembered I needed to go get the hammer to hang a few pictures...cuz I'm the interior decorator...

I picked up the massage oil I use to give my smallest son his daily stretches for his injury...No, I'm a therapist...

The shelf sits near to the area where we did school work today...Looks like I'm a teacher...

The school work rested close to the playpen and the other baby paraphernalia...Oh, I'm a child care provider...

I glanced at the stack of bills of on my desk...Wait, I'm the financial manager...

The thought crossed my mind that we ought to get our W-2 soon...Even better...I'm the tax lady...

On my way to the laundry room to dump the dirty clothes I realized...Hmmph...I'm a personal shopper...

The laundry room gave way to the bedroom...Aah Hah!...I'm the keeper of the love nest!

Out of the bedroom back into the hallway...

The hallway closet was open and my mouth dropped as I stared at the shelf of medicines, band-aids, and supplies....Wow...I AM the doctor!

Can anybody else relate!!!???
