It’s Official…

*Tap, tap*

*Ahem*

May I please have your attention?

I don’t want you to miss this important announcement.

This is the official memo to let you all know – specifically Moms – that the phrase and phase “The Terrible Two’s” has now been changed to “The Terrible Three’s”.

Thank you.

*Ahem*

You may resume your day now.

But if you would rather keep reading for just a minute while you are ~~trying to avoid working on the taxes~~ waiting for the bathroom to open up…

…let me share with you that this very cute little boy…

…has now entered the VERY TERRIBLE THREES.

Please pray for me.

Okay. That’s all. For real.

This has been entered into Wordful Wednesday.

Your Know You’re A Mom When…

Maybe it’s just me.

Then again, maybe not.

What are you laughing at?! I said “maybe” not that it was me!

Anyway, I say that “you know you’re a mom when”…

…you forget to go to the bathroom.

Please tell me it’s not just me!

For example, we’re on our way home from church and I realize that nature is calling my name. But once we get inside the house, the kids begin to fall apart and need me to get them into bed and so I forget about nature and work through 20 minutes of bedtime routine.

However, just as I tuck the last little one in and start to walk out of the room…I hear a small voice ask for a drink of water. So, I go to the kitchen to get a cup of water and notice that the dishes need to be loaded into the dishwasher. I run the cup to the little person and then hurry back to the kitchen where I proceed to load, wash, clean-up, put-away, and all the other kitchen type of duties one can do at 9pm.

Now I’m tired and I decide to sit down to read for just 5 minutes and just as I prop up my feet…

…I remember that I have forgotten to go to the bathroom.

So, is it just me? Or are there more of you out there that do this, too?

Oh! And I’m linking this post to Toot Your Own Horn Tuesday…because today, I didn’t forget!
