Hello mommies! I hope everyone's day is going better than my stereotypical Monday. It all started when my husband woke me up at 5 am not to tell me his everyday good-bye speech and kiss but to tell me that he accidently knocked my entire make-up bag in the toilet "full of piss" (his exact words). My body went into full red alert mode unlike him because he had no idea the value of the contents of the bag. So I went back to sleep hoping to wake up and try this day again. Well waking up again at 7 am with my little girl, we are cuddling on the couch watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (duh). and then it hit me, the odor. She had diarrhea and it seeped through her pajama pants and onto my shirt, yay. Cleaned her up and by than child number two was awake and had pooped as well. Honestly my day was a revolving door of poopy diapers. After that right on cue my toddler is pointing and doing that "eh eeeh!" noise at the freezer door signaling she is ready for a popsicle. Well mean old mom says no because I'm A. already cooking her scrambled eggs and toast and B. its 8 am. Here goes temper tantrum number uno of the day. The world must be ending, she is red in the face, tears pouring down her face, throwing herself on the floor over a popsicle. (Why aren't those scenarios in parenting books?) I put her in her booster and place her plate of breakfast in front of her and she continues to smear it all over the table then whines until I put her down. Twenty minutes later she is pointing and going "eh eeeh!" at the pantry door, she wants a snack. Do you think I'm a little frustrated that she wants a snack after I made her a full breakfast that my table is fully decorated in now? Yup I'm getting frustrated. I give in and give her a bowl of Reese Puff cereal and now its crushed into my carpet. My 6 month old is super fussy today because he is cutting two teeth and I can't leave his sight. My work out is cut in half because my children can't stop pooping or crying. I finally put my kids down for naps and instead of cleaning I napped too and it was glorious until I woke up at 3 pm realizing I did not thaw anything out for dinner and I decided to give up on this Monday.
Mommies you can relate right?? These days where you can't get ahead and one thing after another happens and sometimes (you hate yourself for it) you yell at your kids out of frustration? You know they are just being their age but you have already texted your significant other the "I'm about to rip my hair out" "I need to get out of the house" "Break open the vodka" text. These are the tough parenting days, all still so worth it, but tough.
Regretting giving up booze during the week to lose my mom pooch,
xoxo mommies
P.S currently running after my toddler who had a full bottle of melatonin and acting like she struck gold.
For next week moms I want to include all of you, the post will be about "Mom Shaming" like how people post dog shaming photos. I am posting mine below, the things us mommies do that technically does not win us mom of year awards but were human. Please send me your "Mom Shaming" photos to my email
ellenweitzel561@gmail.com and I would love to post them all in my next blog post.
