Being a mom is a cycle of chaos, confusion, love, laughter, and screaming. Mornings can be…difficult. And that’s before the hormones kick in.
Day 1: LIFE IS SO GREAT! I love my kids! I love my family! I love coffee! I have the best life!
Day 2: What happens to my kid’s shoes? Do they run away right when we are trying to get out the door?
Day 3: I have nothing to wear. What’s going on with my hair today? Coffee. I need coffee.
Day 4: “You have to wear clean clothes. Clean. They don’t have to match, I don’t even care about that anymore, but they can’t have mud, food, or unidentifiable stains on them. Quit crying, and I know I’m the world’s worst mother for making you wear clean clothes.”
Day 5: How can I be out of gas?! Didn’t I just get gas? If the light’s been on for a couple hours, I can probably make it across town…
Day 6: I hope it rains. I mean, I love watching the kids play soccer, but really, I hope it rains.
Day 7: WE WILL ALL GO WORSHIP THE HEAVENLY FATHER AND WE WILL LIKE IT!!
Day 8: I know I set the alarm! I remember setting the alarm!! What happened? Everybody up right now!!
Day 9: Well, the alarm works. Up early, so coffee by myself. This is nice. I should get up early every morning.
Day 10: Nope. I’d rather sleep.
Day 11: That was a nice night of absolutely no sleep. Today should be fun.
Day 12: I love my kids. I do not want to see them in the middle of the night anymore, but I love them. I love them. Really.
Day 13: What permission slip? You’re supposed to go where today?
Day 14: TGIF. I’m starting to drink at 8:14 this morning.
Day 15: It’s raining!!! Yay! I mean, sorry kids, but no soccer today! {Everyone looks disappointed, but can hardly contain their joy!!}
Day 16: Did I just sleep until 7:45? Oh yeah…sleeping in!
Day 17: Mondays…why must you come every freaking week?
Day 18: EVERY DAY. We brush our teeth every day. Several times a day. Just go. BRUSH. YOUR. TEETH. For the love….RIGHT NOW!!
Day 19: Why are you crying? What’s wrong? What happened?
Day 20: If that lady doesn’t figure out the drop-off line soon, so help me God!!!!
Day 21: It’s Friday! It’s Friday!
Day 22: Go ask your dad. They’re about to do the reveal thing on Property Brothers.
Day 23: There’s no crying over donuts, kids. Green sprinkles taste the same as blue.
Day 24: Don’t even look at me with that tone of voice.
Day 25: “Mommies cry, too! I’m okay…I’m okaaaayyyyy. Just get in the car.”
Day 26: I ate all the foods.
Day 27: Life sucks.
Day 28: Oh. That explains a lot. Mommy’s sorry.
Hey. I’m Jen Adair. I’m an entrepreneur. Homeschool mom. CEO of organized chaos. Ok – it’s really not all that organized. Some days are great, some are not, some days I feel invincible, some days I can barely get out of bed. BUT…it’s my life and I’m living it. Browse my collection of random thoughts, humor (well, I think I’m funny!), images, links, whatever…at my blog Slightly Tilted. Sharing is caring, people! 🙂
