Getting sick? Nailed it. Moms are such overachievers.
The three year-olds wanted a trashcan in the middle of their room in case either of them needed to “cuke” in the night. It’s been one of those weeks- lots of sickness, lots of “Veggie Tales”.
It will be a sad day for Mama’s grocery budget when the kids realize one packet of hot cocoa is supposed to be for one mug, not split between three.
I would love to understand why the kids feel compelled to stand on the couch, sit on the coffee table, and set their cups on the ground.
My to-do list for while The Baby took his morning nap:
1) Wrap a Christmas present

The 3 Year-Olds’ to-do list for while The Baby took his morning nap:

Step 1: Write meticulously detailed list of last Christmas needs before Snowpocalypse.
Step 2: Take children to Grama’s so you can shop quickly.

Josh: Mom, why are you cleaning the house? Is somebody coming over?
Mom shame.

I let the Kindergartener answer the phone call from his school saying it’s a snow day tomorrow. I think Christmas came early for somebody.
Universal rule of elementary-age children: The child who doesn’t have to go to school (SNOW DAY!) will be up a minimum of ten minutes (potentially an hour) earlier than the time you’d normally have to be dragging him out of bed to get ready for school.

When I say, “no no” my babies hear, “hurry and shove that in your mouth.”
Motherhood means:
Making a healthy breakfast for the family. Packing healthy lunches for Husband to take to work, Kindergartener to take to school. Making healthy lunches for Toddlers and The Baby.

Wednesday- Baby decides he doesn’t want to nurse anymore.
Thursday- Baby gets his first haircut.
Friday- Baby cuts his first two teeth.
