Hair in disarray, dirty dishes in the sink, pajamas on 'til 3pm, no clean clothes for tomorrow... and the list goes on. I have probably too many days like this, but still think I have things in control because of the smile on my son's face. I believe mother's can juggle a million things at once because of the happiness on their child's face. How do mom's wake up at 5am, nurse the baby, make breakfast and sack lunches, drop the kids off at two different schools, drive this kid to soccer and that kid to a swim meet and this kid to gymnastics after she picked them up from two different schools with baby in her arm, pick the kids up from their sports, make dinner, gives baths and get everyone in pajamas and under the covers for bed by 8pm and do it all over again the next day? Because it makes everyone happy.
If you have seen this already you can get a laugh again. I am sharing this from someone else so I cannot take credit or have ever had a day like this because I have only one 8 month old baby... Guess I have something to look forward to.. haha! Stay at home moms are awesome!
A man came home from work and found his 3 children outside, still in their pajamas, playing in the mud, with empty food boxes and wrappers strewn around garden, The door of his wife's car was open, as was the front door to the house and no sign of the dog, walking in the door, he found ...an even bigger mess. A lamp had been knocked over, the throw rug was against one wall, In the front room the TV was on loudly with the cartoon channel, the family room was strewn with toys and various items of clothing. In the kitchen, dishes filled the sink, breakfast food was spilled on the counter, the fridge door was open wide, dog food was spilled on the floor, a broken glass lay under the table, and a small pile of sand was spread by the back door.
He quickly headed up the stairs, stepping over toys and more piles of clothes, looking for his wife. He was worried she might be ill, or that something serious had happened. He was met with a small trickle of water as it made its way out the bathroom door. As he peered inside he found wet towels, scummy soap and more toys strewn over the floor. Miles of toilet paper lay in a heap and toothpaste had been smeared over the mirror and walls.
As he rushed to the bedroom, he found his wife still curled up in the bed in her pajamas, reading a novel... She looked up at him, smiled and asked how his day went.
He looked at her bewildered and asked, "What happened here today?"
She again smiled and answered, "You know every day when you come home from work and you ask me what in the world do I do all day?..."
"Yes," was his incredulous reply..
She answered, "Well, today I didn't do it."
