1.
Your to do list includes: laundry
(more?!), clean yogurt off of sofa, don’t try not to lose your sh*t
about yogurt on the sofa, take attempt to shower, put on a bra, make a healthy lunch the toddler will eat. You consider yourself successful if you
manage to cross off more than one of these in a day.
2.
Your dentist and doctors appointments are like mini vacations and you are willing to switch providers
to anyone who runs notoriously late. “Sorry
I’m late, the dentist was really behind today…”
3.
Your gift wish list for any
occasion has shifted from the cutest shoes, jewelry, clothes, show tickets etc.
to a bigger fridge, the special anniversary recording of Samuel L. Jackson
reading “Go The F*ck To Sleep” and a minimum of 5 minutes of private Mummy time
in the bathroom.
4.
You refer to yourself in the 3rd person, even when talking to your spouse. “Mummy is tired.”
5.
Your idea of a “clean” house is
now somewhat more subjective.
6.
Date night consists of a few hours out of
the house where you and your spouse attempt not to fall asleep across the
dinner table from each other and then spend the whole evening talking about the
funny thing the toddler did that day.
7.
Hearing “Winter is Coming” sends
cold shivers of fear straight through you because you know that means you’ll
have to come up with indoor activities to entertain them or you’ll end up with
something far worse than White Walkers on your hands, you’ll have a bored and
cooped up toddler…
so true, Misty! Made me laugh!
ReplyDeleteI think every Mum feels like this at times, but especially us Stay at Home Mums. :)
