I forgot how to make the simplest article of clothing and did it incorrectly, adding time to the process. I also initially made it upside down. (In my defense- THERE WERE A MILLION OTHER THINGS HAPPENING SIMULTANEOUSLY.)
Sometimes I put clean, folded laundry back into the dryer just because I need to get it out of the way.
I fall asleep in my clothes pretty much all the time now. 2 AM is the unofficial the deadline for waking up to brush teeth and put on pajamas. If I sleep past that...it's the whole night in jeans.
If I find popcorn on the couch, I just throw it behind me onto the kitchen floor so it can join its buddies, cracker crumbs and additional popcorn.
I don't shower every day and I love the days when I don't shower because it's not as much work. But somehow I don't get up any earlier on the days that I do shower.
Buying a Diet Coke from the coke machine at church makes me feel spiritually horrible because I could have found a better use for that dollar.
I want to make my kids healthy lunches, but today I bought Handi Snacks.
I have never once done a workbook with any of the kids. I must give off the workbook vibe because people give them to me, but no.
Once I threw away every coloring book in our house.
Once I threw away a stack of thank you notes that I had already written because I couldn't seem to get them to the mailbox and I needed them out of my way.
Our van is the quintessential minivan with layers of crap.
I have a lot of other nice qualities as well.
Nils wore a new shirt (with a fire truck on it) to school yesterday. He insisted on sleeping in it... so I let him. I'm pretty sure he is going to want to wear it again today. I'll let him.
ReplyDeleteStay at home moms need to remember: It's all about survival. No lie.
ReplyDeleteNone of this stuff is bad. Last year I bought at least 2 library books from the school library. They weren't lost. I knew where they were. I just acknowledged to myself that I was never ever going to remember to take them back to school. The kids are earning back the money by loading the dishwasher.
ReplyDeleteI love this. Also, who has time to shower every day???
