If I had octopus arms, I could be the single greatest mom of all time. As it is I can do a lot with only two arms.
I can take care of screaming baby, help a toddler go pee and help a 7 year old with her piano practice; all at the same time. I can cook dinner, admire a play dough ice cream cone, help with homework and send a text; all at the same time. I can make a doctor's appointment, rock a baby to sleep, and get a kid a glass of water; all at the same time.
What I can't do is calm a crying baby, discipline a toddler, put a band aid on a cut toe, cook dinner, answer emails and phone calls, and kiss my husband hello; all at the same time. That's what I tried to do this evening. I know it will never happen, but I can always dream.
