My Mission Statement

This blog is a place for mother's to go to feel better about themselves--to know that they aren't the only ones who even though they started laundry last week, they still have it in the living room waiting to be sorted and folded. Like other mom blogs, this blog may even feature favorite products, but it won't be something cute made for etsy that I whipped up while knitting with my toes. It will be things that save me from screaming out in terror in those moments where there is not a lot of love in my heart. Things like clorox wipes. No they are not environmentally friendly or economical, but when my son pees on the floor while claiming to pee in the toilet, I pluck out a wipe, hand it to him, and thank a higher being that the bleach in the wipe will theoretically sanitize the floor. So sit back while parenting with a computer on the lap, nod your head in slight shock, and find peace in your soul because you cannot be the worst parent out there because you have washed the sheets this month. Haven't you?

The First Day of School

A slacker mom's dream, the day she drops off her children at a public institution (why would I pay for private school, I turned out fine) and leaves them while she does absolutely nothing. Alright, the nothing isn't quite true due to number three that came six years after number two, so close to sahm freedom, but now so far away.

What am I going to do without number 1 and 2s help? Yikes, I am going to have to retrieve the diapers on my own and if I lose something only I will be around to look under couches, through boxes of toys, and piles of clothes to find that lone binky to put number three to bed. At least I'll be alone during the nap, which brings me to my first goal this year. My number one goal is too catch up on sleep lost the last ten years. I am not sure that 180 nap times will bring me to this goal, but I am going to try. Wish me luck.
