Using domestic arts to live a simple, frugal life


This post is for all my female/mommy readers. Happy Mothers Day and much love to each of you.

Dontcha Hate It When …

You realize your baby spit up on you after you’re out in public?

You changed your shirt 4 times, but not your bra and everyone is staring?

You’re in the middle of making supper and realize you’re missing a key ingredient?

You have the perfect outfit but no shoes to go with it, or vice-versa?

A stray hair is tickling your ‘valley?’

Your ‘time of the month’ comes at the wrong time of month?

You’re 1 day late.

You’re 3 days early.

You realize your favorite jeans are no longer in style?

You forget the name of a person you definitely should know.

You find something black in your teeth 3 hours after lunch.

You trip in public.

Your child reaches down your shirt in front of people.

Your nursing pads didn’t do their job.

Your child gives a narrative while you use a public restroom.

You’re done nursing and go DOWN a cup size and UP a dress size.

You realize exactly how many Oreos you just ate.

You realize the days for fitted shirts are over.

Your hubby wants some love and you didn’t shave your legs.

You’ve already left the house and realize you’re still wearing your slippers.

Someone ‘catches’ you climbing the shelves in the grocery store to reach an item (come on, I can’t be the only short mom).

You forget to bring your camera to the once-in-a-lifetime family event.

Strangers reach out to rub your pregnant belly. Seriously???? Hands off.

You forget your child’s special comfort item somewhere and you need it NOW.

You’re finally in the mood and he’s not.

You accidentally wear your wedgie panties and have to discretely ‘pick’ them all day.

~~~~~~

Your baby is sick.

You realize they’re growing so fast and feel like you’re missing too much.

You want to cuddle and they don’t anymore.

They begin to need you less and become independent.

Seeing them grow makes you want another one … earlier than you’d planned.

Why I do what I do ~ I always knew I’d like it. I hadn’t the slightest idea I’ve love it this much. Stretch out my skin, give me wrinkles and make me gray quickly – the price of Motherhood is well worth paying.

“They begin to need you less and become independent.”

As them mom of a 12 (soon to be 13) year oold boy, I so can relate to this!

YES!

Date night with Hubs this week I had the perfect shoes but couldn’t figure out the outfit. He asked me “changing again?” about 4 times.

the babe is getting so big and independent… there are days I love it and others I miss the time when he was tiny and needed me for everything.

Happy Mother’s Day!!!

Hi! I’m a new reader… I hate it when most of those things happen to me, but if my husband wants some loving, and my legs aren’t shaved… oh well! He’s my husband, he accepts me shaved legs or no! :-P

LOVE your blog, btw!

The answer to the need shoes problem… RED SHOES (preferably pumps of some sort) go with EVERYTHING. If you don’t have a pair of red pumps and red flats… get some. NOW.

Yes, I’ve been caught “shelf climbing” (or in my case, shelf *slipping*)

If hubby wants lovin’ and my legs need a’shavin, he has two choices: no lovin’ or take-me-as-I-am lovin’. Guess which one he chooses? Would that qualify as TMI???

When I’m prego, my personal space mulitplies; like a thousand times. So, keep yo’ hands to yo’self.

Love it when DD narrates her bathroom bus. Especially when she (loudly) announces that she wants to “pee-pee in that hole… hee hee hee!… the “hole” being the drain in the floor.

Nicki, this was a GREAT post. Thanks for the laugh.

Oh, and the spot to vent. :)

This is WONDERFUL! I relate to them all!
THANKS! and so funny, too!
(it’s nearly 17 years since I became a Mom and I can whole-heartedly agree with the part about knowing I’d like it, but finding out I totally LOVE IT!)
