My mom is just the best lady I know and I figure that if I turn out to be half the mom she is, then I'll be doin' pretty well for my kids. But this week, mommydom has kicked my heiny and I can't help but wonder if Mom ever thought.....
1."it's okay to let the dog eat the kids' crumbs off the floor. this way I don't have to vacuum"
2. "If I just throw this stuff away, I won't have to clean up the piles books, toys, papers, 'insert
anything here'."
3. "If wetwipes are good enough to clean their bottoms, they're good enough to clean the toilet."
4. "Potatoes are vegetables so french fries and applesauce will do for fruit/vegetable portion of dinner."
5. "Wow! I'm in jeans and a top, not sweats---I'm going fancy today!"
6. "I'm glad my hair is long enough for a ponytail. I can postpone a shower for the day and sleep an extra 15
minutes."
7. "I wonder if I let the two little ones just fight this out which one will win in the end?"
8. "Forget the price of gas! Driving 20 minutes to the nearest Taco Bell for dinner is worth it!"
9. "Laundry, schmaundry...it won't wrinkle THAT much if we just live out of the baskets."
I'm not even a mom yet and I'm already in this mode of thinking! :P
ReplyDelete1-isn't that the only reason to have a dog?
ReplyDelete4-you shoot for a fruit AND veggie part of dinner?
6-do you actually take a shower every day?
9-laundry is never done, so why bother?
I think of most of these things on a daily basis. In my opinion, you are doing just great!
