Keepin' it real

I have had more than my share of mom bloopers. Seriously.

I have sent my kids to school without show 'n tell on show 'n tell day. I think I have even sent someone off in the morning with only a cookie for breakfast. These type of mishaps made me cry as a younger mom and make me cringe now but I get over it quickly.

Today takes the cake.

I am pretty sure there is one thing that will get your mom license revoked. Folks, today my 2nd grader is wearing the same outfit to school that he wore yesterday.

Yeah, see. I told you it was bad.

I went in to help Princess get dressed for the day about a half hour after the boys left. I noticed the stack of Jedi's clothes for the week. (See on Saturday I was a good mom and we picked out his outfit for every day). The Thursday outfit was still there in the pile. With my child not home.

Oh dear. My mind raced.

He kissed me goodbye. What was he wearing? Think. Think.

And then I remember our crazy night last night. I had a Stake meeting. It went long. Hubby at school, so I had them all with me. Kids were crazy all over the place. Got home late. Homework needed finished. Teeth needed brushed. No one even got jammies on. Now it all made sense.


So, our dear second grade teacher? Please don't judge me. I truly love my children. I do. I had his Thursday outfit ready, remember? Promise.

Man, she loves water

When this child sees a glass of water she freaks OUT.

You betcha

Oh yes. My foot was in it. Twice.

I ran out to the trash twice and got a nail in the shoe twice. In one morning. I guess I should be grateful; I am usually barefoot.

On the other hand, I don't think I will ever allow my children to wear open-toed shoes on our property again!

Darn roofing nails!

Kid logic

As long I'm not the person who eats the very last one, maybe mom won't say anything!

Look closely

Who's that sitting on my painting? This is my life, and I love it.

Oh, to be six

Jedi asked me yesterday right before supper if he could have cold lunch today. (I'm a mean mom and hate packing the two lunches I have to everyday, so I make my other kids have hot lunch). I figured it was fine this time, so I said yes. I planned on helping him later on.

What I didn't realize was that he had 1: already made it by the time we had our meal, and 2: already eaten some of it because he was so hungry.

Here is the interesting lunch I found at bedtime.

Ignore the crappy pics, Costco has still not found my new camera!

Half eaten bologna sandwich, with conversation hearts inside (no, I'm not making that up)

Bulging baggie of chips combined with Club crackers

A browning banana plus an apple with two bites taken out of it.

It smelled really good baking...

Good intentions

A family who loves peanut butter

A clumsy 8 month pregnant mother

very wide-eyed children who wonder if they're allowed to eat off the tile!

Kids with too little supervision

This is what happens on a Sunday afternoon while the kids have too much energy. And a sleeping mother. And access to the camera.

Totally just kidding
