You guys know I love being a Mom. I live for my kids. I like to think this blog is littered with letters of sincere love and documents the legacy we are creating as a family. But….
Today is an utter Mommy FAIL. And it isn’t my first. This week.
Today’s post, I just need to vent. Can’t a mom whine a little too? So, here it is:
My list of mommy fails and other truths of a SAHM…
1. I need to shower…because it’s been awhile. Please don’t make me explain any further than that.
2. I’ve worn the same pajamas for two days in a row. And tomorrow might be the third. Please, feel free to judge.
3. The constant whining makes the psych ward look very relaxing. Why didn’t Babycenter tell me my two year old would be saying “But Mommmmmm” 5 million times a day? Who is this “mom” lady, anyway?
4. My kid and dog shared a bowl of yogurt for lunch today. And I didn’t care.
5. Speaking of lunch, this is the first thing I’ve eaten all day. Yup, I ate it with a toddler spoon. And you better believe I did NOT share it with the dog!
6. By the time naps were over, despite two deadlines and an important meeting to prepare for tomorrow, this is the only thing I had accomplished. But man, oh, woman, did that luscious dark chocolate and sweet, ripe strawberries taste oh so sinful…
And the biggest truth and ultimate Mommy Fail of them all….
7. I still wear maternity jeans. When I’m not wearing pajamas, that is. And no, you don’t get a picture of that… meanies.
Happy stinking Tuesday! Is it Wednesday, yet?
Wow..you are human!!! Cause your blog at times makes me feel like a bad mom…lol loving this post
Anything for my readers
Haha!
You didn’t fail, you survived. Bravo dear friend!
It looks as though, we had to same day
I hear you on this one. I can totally commiserate with feeling like this. Plus, strawberries are good for you! <3
Hey, there was nothing wrong with your lunch. You got your fruit serving for the day, so there.
What kind of person does it make me when I read blog posts like this and sigh with relief. Relief that other mamas struggle, too.
And yes, I totally agree that the whining is almost unbearable. It totally gets under my skin. Yesterday I went in my room and closed the door until M stopped. Now I don’t answer ANYTHING unless she addresses me like a “big girl.” Thankfully it’s working.
Anyhoo, this post was hilarious. Thanks for making the rest of us feel human.
I don’t have a newborn baby in the house and I am not technically a SAHM in any time except the summer since I am a teacher, but this post is a pretty good reflection of how things go for at least a week of my summer if not more. I get so burnt out by the busy-ness of life during the school year that I let things go sometimes (okay, a lot) during the summer. I seriously don’t know how SAHM’s do it. Bathing and eating are monumental tasks when you are home with kids! Love this post, Vanessa
Even unbathed and in your jammies you are beautiful!
hahahaha! I have sooooo been there! I have 5 baskets full of unfolded laundry staring me in the face, in addition to most of the things you mentioned above.
