Go Go Mommy Gadget

I never realized mornings with just one child awake usually start out a lot better for me than when they are both awake. Even when I start my mornings with a show from scout or cat in the hat and a cup of coffee, its better than having to run around and quickly get breakfast for my chirping babies. I should just wake up earlier, but that would mean going to bed earlier and that just cant happen, my body doesn’t start to shut down till after 12. As I sit here listening to my kids tv show I feel guilty hes starting his day off with donuts and tv, but why should I feel that way. When I was a kid it was perfectly normal and good to wake up with cartoons and a bowl of cereal. Ive decided I hate society, its standards on everything and everyone are WAY too high, and you get nothing back except more criticism and competition. I watched a show of HOUSE the other night of a mom who was stealing her kid’s medicine and everyone was in shock. I knew it right from the start how the hell else is she going to be a business owner, soccer coach, always at functions for her one child, trying to have another child, cleaning, cooking etc, etc. I think people think moms run off of the sun or taking care of children is super easy. My sons show dragon tales had me cracking up! It was a show of the dragons and max and emmy (yes I know all their names) helping to take care of two babies and the seven of them were completely pooped after 30 minutes. I stood there with my mop and baby on my hip like psshh that’s nothing. My point is people demand too much of someone who is already demanding too much of themselves. I always have to remind myself to not put so much emphasis on what other people wont notice and put all my effort into what some little ones will. I mopped the floors of my mother in laws house and NO ONE noticed, needless to say I was upset. But then my son says, “mommy loves me” and my heart melt because I got frustrated with him for stepping on my wet floors, when I should have just let him bring dirt in and have a party. So give yourself a break and tell the dust bunnies to shut the hell up because your singing the apples and bananas song with your kids like you would at your favorite concert. Even as I write this I have to remind myself to chill out, because the dishes are nagging at me and all the stuff we have moved into my m-i-l’s house is screaming at me to be put away. I just want to scream back "leave me alone and go nag my husband "(lol) as I sit down and read Dr. Seuss or do school house (home school) with my three year old. So sorry dishes your time can wait clutter yes you make me shudder but Im not the only one who put you there, Im off to get my son another cookie, gasp! (Belvita)
