If you give a mom a good night's sleep...

If you get up one morning, teach a preschool class for five three-year-olds, then spend the afternoon making guacamole and jalapeño poppers before going to a friend's house to help her finish decorating her house for the baby shower you are hosting together that night for another friend, and then go back home to get dinner for your own family and finish putting things together, and then go back for the shower, and spend the evening with friends, you'll probably be exhausted by the end of the day, even with a really well-behaved baby. Your feet will probably hurt because you'll have been on them all day. You'll probably crawl into bed at 12:45am, praying (literally) that your baby won't wake you up in two hours. You'll be pleasantly surprised when she wakes you and it's actually light outside, and the clock says 7:46am. You'll get her out of her cradle and bring her back to bed, intending to feed her, but she just might not actually be waking up -- she might just be a noisy sleeper. Happily, you'll probably fall back asleep with her next to you, and stay that way until around 9:00am, when she wakes you (sort-of) again. At that point, you're almost delirious with how happy you are, having slept so long after such a long day the day before, and you'll blissfully feed her sitting up in bed, while your toddler comes upstairs, happy and cheerful, and plays on your bed with both of you.

Then you might go downstairs to get breakfast and start your day. And then your high just might come crashing down, if for example, your toddler thought that you were sleeping too late and she had to fend for herself for breakfast. You might find eggs cracked on the counters and the floor, and you might find pieces of leftover sourdough waffles stuck in the top of a food storage water bottle. And if you do find all that, you'll have to clean it up before you can eat or do anything else, because, of course, there are raw eggs on the kitchen floor. Fortunately, you remember that the easiest way to clean up spilled raw egg is to cover it with salt, and while two weeks ago you had absolutely no salt in the house because you're apparently incompetent with basic food storage, you now have a full canister, which you methodically begin shaking over the egg whites, having scooped up everything else.

All is going well (enough) until you realized that the previously aforementioned toddler is watching you pour salt all over the floor, leaving you to wonder what you might find tomorrow morning.
