Welcome!

I'm often amazed and confused by the bizarre happenings behind the closed and competitive doors of the typical suburban home. The following is a place to share my thoughts and reflections on daily life as I try to navigate this crazy and wonderful world.

Have You Ever?


*Pinched your eyelid in your eyelash curler.
*Gone to the ATM and driven away WITHOUT your cash.
*Made sandwiches for you kids to take to school and then remembered it's hot lunch day.
*Lugged you butt out of bed to start the day, hit the shower, only to realize it was Saturday.
*Gone to the store for milk, spent $100.00 on Groceries..but not picked up the flipping milk.
*Walked downstairs and not been able to remember what you were on your way to do.
*Left laundry in the wash....for 2 days.
*Slept all night with your pajama top on backwards.
*Run to the mall with spit up on your shirt.
*Worn the same pair of pants two days in a row.


Congratulations you have joined the ranks of the tired Mamas.
Go ahead, make yourself a strong cup of coffee. You're gonna need it.

HEATHER said...

every flipping time I go to the grocery store I forget the one most important thing that we just ran out of, like toilet paper, milk, wipes, juice, whatever. Everytime. darn mom brain!

Veronica Lee said...

LOL, I've done most of the things on your list!!
I left my laundry in the wash for more than 2 days!!

Margo said...

Done them all except for going to the mall with spit up on my shirt. But I've probably just blocked that out. Glad to know I'm not alone. Thanks for the laughs :) Can't wait to tell fam about this!

pokerfacemom said...

Banteringblonde said...

amy said...

Marbella Designs said...

Oh my gosh, walking to my computer this morning, I realized my pj top was on backwards! ha ha and here I am reading about my tired mommy brain, so true!

Buckeroomama said...

LOL! Yes, to many on your list.

I'm really enjoying your blog. Thanks for stopping by mine, so that I could "find" you. :)

Margo said...

Haha.. I've realized that my PJ top (or bottoms, some nights) were on backwards, but have been too tired to fix it.

I haven't done some of these, but I'm still just starting out in the parenting game. I'm sure I'll get there.

What about sticking the mayo (or something similar) in the cupboard after making a sandwich, only to find it the next morning? That happens a lot around here.

Suzy said...

I don't even have kids and have done all that. This morning I woke up and thought it was Saturday. Is it?

Working Mum said...

Great post! I can identify with so many of those. So glad it isn't just me!

Jennifer said...

Oh HAIL no to leaving cash in the ATM! Goodness, I would ball my eyes out if I forgot the cash! LOL!

Elizabeth said...

So totally true!! :)

Justice Jonesie said...

Haha!! Yes, I have done all of those things except the getting to ready to work on a Saturday happened when I was pregnant. Both Hubby and I did it.

Ambersmilz said...

I only have one pair of jeans that fits my fat booty so I wear the same jeans every day and wash them about once a week.

Eliza said...

Yes to ALL of the above, except the kids sandwiches, as I don't have any, (kids that is) :-)

Chocolate Covered Daydreams said...

I can SO related. I am guilty of all of those. I had a baby that was a spit up factory and even if I got to the mall clean, I left it, stinky and smelly.

Why is it that the one item that gets left is the one that is needed the most??? I just don't get it.

Jenjen @GottaLoveMom said...

Love this! :) :) :)

When people ask me how I'm doing I've been saying "just tired". Ever since I've been a mom (20 years now), I've been tired :).
I did learn to take some time off ..I've driven to BK's drivethru and leave without the kids' food bc my mind's just somewhere else.
Have a great week:
I love your new purple look! I thought I was already following you but to my surprise, I'm your new follower , who happens to be your 100th follower - so cool...

Just A Mom (Call me JAM for short) said...

Glad to be in such wonderful company!

Busy Bee Suz said...

YES to everything!!!
Life is good...huh???

Anissa said...

Love it! I always forget something at the store. Don't get me started about walking to another part of the house and then forget what I'm doing. How about this one -- I called my husband at work tonight to tell him something and then forgot when he answered the phone.LOL

The Girl Next Door said...

Oh Hells yes, almost all of them. TiredMommy to the Max.

Kristin said...

YUP, done every one of em' from the milk down!

Randi Troxell said...

hey... im not even a mom and i've done the eyelash curler thing and leaving the laundry in the washer... Mmmm, this doesnt sound like its gonna bode well when i do have kids, lol!!

MamaJoss said...

Oh -- it's like we run parallel lives!!! {as I sit here wearing the same pants as yesterday}

Lady Christie said...

Me do any of those things neeeeeever not me! Ok maybe...I do one...or two...probably all of them.

Loukia said...

Yes, yes, yes... you're not alone, mama! I hate doing that with my eyelash curler! And yup, every time I spend insane amounts of money at the grocery store I come home without the things I went to buy in the first place... so annoying!

lz said...

Yes to almost all of them!
I was in the grocery store and got money at the ATM. I walked away and forgot my cash, and I saw the man behind me in the store and told him my mistake, and he said he didn't see my money. Uggh. Stop, thief!!
