A three-armed Lizzy

Today I found myself wiping Kenna's bottom with one hand while holding Duncan with the other arm as he nursed. Despite its awkwardness it was a motherhood 'first' for me and in my mind I celebrated my clever dexterity. God should have given women three arms. Our multi-tasking brains are too sophisticated for our two-armed bodies.

Mrs. Eubanks used to say, "Necessity is the mother of invention." It's time to invent a device that attaches a third arm to one's body. I'll store this idea in my brain under the file titled, 'Ridiculous Inventions To Accomplish Someday'--right along with my bacon-scented candle idea.

Au Revoir PeeWee
