Bad, bad mommy

Ok internets… I am not always the well-balanced, loving, thoughtful mommy that I make myself out to be! Neither are you, right? Right?

I am excellent at fun, seriously, I will be a kid over a grownup any day, I love sidewalk chalk, paint, stickers, markers, I am usually game for anything, however, when it comes to cleaning up the mess, or the kids, I usually, kinda, umm, don’t. The mousehunter loves this aspect of me!

So, you know how my kids were sick, well, umm, I don’t always remember to give them their medication on time, and when I say “always”, I really mean “ever”! I know, I know! My husband usually has to call from work to remind me to medicate them!

I allow them to play with plastic butter knives, you know, so they can pretend they are sword fighting, or whatever else it is that they do with them, I honestly don’t know, but they do enjoy it and they ask for them every single day…they have never gotten hurt though!

You know things like, feeding the kids, and umm, giving baths, and brushing teeth, and homework, and other such, chores, yeah, well, I am not good with those, I mean, I obviously do them, but I can’t say that I excel at those things, and when I say “excel”, I really mean that I do a very “half-assed” job!

My biggest problem though, has to be my inability to fold and pack away laundry! I kid you not! I think it goes against my very nature to handle laundry!! Currently, the kids’ room is completely covered in clothing, it’s so bad that my kids learned to “dig” through the pile to find clothes for themselves!

And before I totally discount myself as a good mother, I will stop.

DH: is there not enough food on your plate?
Me: huh?
DH: well, the way you’re chewing on those bones…
Me: har har, you’re just so funny I can hardly contain myself
DH: yeah, that’s apparent
3 year old: you know when I came on the bed last night, it was because I almost had a bad dream
Me: almost huh? so, you knew that the bad dream was imminent?
4 year old: so, what was the bad dream about?
3 year old: I didn’t have it! I said ALMOST!
2 year old: gosh! duuude! ahahahahaha

Once upon a time…

I adamantly insisted that no baby of mine would ever have fries…

Nor would ever taste soda…

And certainly not ice-cream…

I stand corrected!

The end.

Do you hate having kids?

Well me neither, but let me just say that after 2 days of caring for them practically on my own, I am almost there!

Firstly, really hungry children can turn into monsters fast, not that I was starving them or anything like that, but I did get back into bed this morning and it sort of got late for breakfast! Secondly, 3 small children are very hard to manage, I mean VERY.hard.to.manage, seriously, not even “challenging”, it’s DIFFICULT! Thirdly, my smallest kid is incredibly spoilt and I am not sure what to do about it, I mean, he has complete meltdowns if he does not get want he wants… but being the discipline obsessed mother that I was with the other 2 kids, I have absolutely no idea how to handle this blatant lack of proper and appropriate behavior!

To blog is not to pay for therapy, so, please excuse this clearly ill-prepared and un-thought-out post. Ok, as you were…

If I hear the word “mommy” one more time, my head may actually explode

Just sayin’...

He’s actually not the source, since he doesn’t say “mommy” yet, but I’ve been sick for most of the week and I think it’s getting worse! Currently one side of my face and head is completely aching due to a sinus infection, and it’s accompanied by the flu, so as you can well imagine, it’s been, ummm, fun?
