How's about another Lazy Mom Confession, jes?
Jes.
Good, cause I'm posting one anyway.
It makes me feel like a more normal mom when I read your confessions. Because at some point us moms just don't always get it right (see the second half of what a Lazy Mom is exactly to refresh your memory on this) and when we share our mothering shortcomings with each other we help shatter the whole "supermom" image we think we have to live up to for some reason.
And then we can cry, eat chocolate and watch a sappy movie together.
See how important these confessions are for us?
Anyway, this confession was emailed to me last week from lazy mom Sarah and I love it! Prepare to love it too.
My lovely 13-year old calls me at work to say there isn't any food in the house. She and the 8-year old are hungry.
I said make a PB&J and she comes back with there isn't any bread.
I said check the freezer - nada.
I mentioned Ramen Noodles - totally out.
Spaghetti O's possibly? Nope.
I remembered that I (how could you?) ate the last apple last night - doh!
Good ole' cereal?? Nope.
And she says, "Besides mom, the milk is gone too." (Have you ever heard of dry cereal??!)
With each suggestion my face is turning a darker shade of red. I am a disgrace to mothers! I am recalling a Nursery Rhyme here about a cupboard as my daughter continues to tell me all the items we are out of.
Mind you, I am dealing with a sick 6 month old, attended a funeral the night before and I work full time.
So I cave and do the only thing I could think of...had a pizza delivered.
Have a Lazy Mom Confession to share? Do it! if you dare.....
OK, I'll fess up a lazy mom move...My four year old had to eat cheese puffs for breakfast the other day.
ReplyDeleteI'll share one too. One night hubby was flying a late night mission so it was just me and the girls. So they were getting on each other's nerves which means my nerves too -- so at 5pm I declared that it was "Super Secret Early To Bed Night". By 5:30pm, they were in bed - and out of my hair!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you share these!
ReplyDeleteHa ha! That's great. :) And it sounds very familiar! Except I wouldn't shell out the money to buy a pizza, and I don't work outside the home. :X
ReplyDeleteThe last time we ran out of bread, we used flour tortillas for PB&J for a couple of days before going to the store.
And when we were out of milk the other day, Kaya tried to add water to her cereal!
I love this!
ReplyDeleteLove it!! I have been there a few times myself....absolutley nothing to eat! Better go check my cuboards today. Thanks for sharing such a post we can all relate to!
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty much my life! We were actually out of milk for 2 whole days. I was pretty creative!
ReplyDeleteI just discovered your blog and it makes me feel so much better about life. So many mommy bloggers seem to brag about how immaculate and orderly they are and how they cook amazing meals.
ReplyDeleteIt's refreshing to find a blogger who is more honest about the true state of things. I'm proudly a lazy mom and will have to share a story sometime soon. :)
