Thanks for all your "mom-isms" submissions! I had a really fun time reading them. I might have gotten a funny look or two from Steve at 3am due to my incessant giggling, but he never remembers anything from that time of day anyway, so who cares. (Also, I don't just stay up til all hours of the night reading the internet. Unless I'm pumping. Then I MUST read the internet or I might just fall asleep all hooked up and turn into an honest-to-goodness dairy cow. Which is something else I never would have thought I'd say pre-kids.)
So here they are! Your mom-isms in no particular order:
"If you stick your finger in my ear one more time..."
"Are you biting your toenails?"
"Have your pants been undone all day? Didn't you feel a breeze?"
"We go by the 5 minute rule here, so just pick it up off the floor and
eat it!"
(I swear the floor was clean...mostly)
- Kris at The New Normal
"Bennett, ugh, why are you crying? Look mommy's going to load dishes,
crawl in! Yay, fun!"
And then proceeded to let him play in the dishwasher (door open, I don't
suck at motherhood THAT bad).
- Kate at Daffodil's
"Do NOT step on your sister's head."
"Stop putting your hand down your pants."
"Bend over so I can wipe your bottom."
"Do NOT wipe your boogers on me!"
- Ruthie at My Trash and Treasure
"Is that a booger in your nose...let me get that out for you!"
"Did you go Poopy? Yay, you went poopy, yay!"
"Gotta wash that little _____, and between your cheeks."
- Kieran at J & K Happily Ever After
"I totally miss going to the bathroom by MYSELF...ALONE!"
- Georgia Girl, Jersey Wife
So it looks like most of us are talking about poop, boogers, and other gross things. I'm so glad I'm not alone. Now if you'll excuse me, I must go sterilize a spatula that I used to pry a stubborn poop off of a diaper.
Today I peed in a public restroom on base with the door open while other Moms were in there with their kids because Eva didnt want me to close the door where she couldnt see me. As I squatted and peed as fast as I possibly could, I thought, "Jezus. This is the life of a MOM".
ReplyDeleteYou are a VERY GOOD MOTHER.

ReplyDeleteHahaha so funny :)
ReplyDeleteIt amazes me what we talk about these days...who would of thought :)
Love this! Definitely related to most & laughed at all.
ReplyDeleteLove reading the rest of these...and knowing that I'm not the only one who picks their kids' boogers for them. Wow, how did my life turn to this?! But I certainly wouldn't trade it for anything! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I completely lost it when I read your last sentence. Oh the things we never dreamed we would do! Awesome :) Thanks for sharing all of these and giving me a good laugh!
oh Gawd! your last one got me. I remember doing that! how is that going???
ReplyDeleteIt's going well!! Just got some more diapers in the mail today so I can start using them on Molly too. I love it. :)
DeleteI will never look at a spatula the same way.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I think I love Kate more now having read the dishwasher bit. I'm seriously making mental notes for when I have kids someday.
Fear not, it is an old, cheap, Dollar Tree spatula. I save my Walmart spatulas for cookin'. ;)
DeleteHaha these are too funny... And also scare me away from wanting kids! :)
ReplyDeleteHaha these are great..
ReplyDeletesomeday I shall join the club.
Until then I will just laugh in shock/awe that you guys do so very much.
I love all your cloth diapers. I used to own a cloth diaper yahoo group for fellow cloth diaper users.
