-You wake up plotting the death of the birds outside your window
-You feel about as attractive as the Geico caveman
-Your daughters unravel ALL of your crafting ribbon (I know- my fault for leaving it out)
-One of them eats Cool Whip out of the container for breakfast
-You roll over her foot with the grocery cart at Target and she screams
-You question how much of a fight you'd put up if a kidnapper attempted to abduct your child
-It's gorgeous weather and you can't get your kids to play outside (except when it begins to rain and then they're mad that they can't go outside.) Go figure
-Your baby is constipated and therefor fussy (for her)
-You lose count of how many spills you've cleaned up
-You forfeit the day's umpteenth clothing battle and let your 3 year old dawdle around naked
-You barely muster up the motivation to make dinner, which is Top Ramen, which the 3 year old eats in front of the television. Naked.
-While feeding your baby, your 3 year old runs out the door to greet her daddy. Still naked.
-Your daughters 'reorganize' all of your shoes and jewelry all over your bedroom floor.
- You cry out, "I can't have ANYTHING the way I want it!"
-All you want to do is lock yourself in the bathroom and inhale chocolate.
-You succumb to the above and lock yourself in the bathroom to inhale chocolate.
-Then you tuck your girls in bed, they tell you they love you and that you're the best mom ever. And you can't decide if that twinge in your stomach is from sheer guilt or from all that chocolate. Thankfully children are so forgiving.
Here's hoping for a better day tomorrow.
Thanks for the laugh. I needed a break from crying. Your life sounds so similar to mine. It's amazing what we will do just to get them to eat something. I wish I had a dollar for all the things I said I'd never do as a mother.
ReplyDeletep.s. Rachel undressed in the open garage the other day and came out to talk to me in the yard. Oh well.
We've all been there. Oh, the stories I could tell. Motherhood is truly the most difficult of all jobs, and by the time you figure just a few things out, the children are out of the house. Oh, well.
ReplyDeleteI admire you as a mom and therefore I am grateful for a post like this.
ReplyDeleteCan't stop laughing. Perhaps you should take this show on the road.
ReplyDeleteThank you for not being perfect! You make my day.
