Rules of Motherhood

Happy Mother's Day!

To all the wonderful women out there!
To all the Great-grandmas, grandmas,
mothers, step-moms and adopted moms


In honor of this great day, here is my next installment of the Rules of Motherhood

Things that are Impossible for a Mom of Little Ones To Do

  1. Go to the bathroom without someone banging on the door, or just coming in, or getting in a fight during the one minute you are trying to go.
  2. Make dinner without something being spilled by your helper or the kids getting into a fight
  3. Getting a room cleaned without the next room being torn apart in the process.
  4. Playing the piano/flute (or insert your instrument of choice) without the kids coming and insisting on playing to.
  5. Try on clothes at a store without one or both kids crawling or looking under the dressing room door of someone else.
  6. Eat a hot meal, or even a warm meal most days unless you happen to be eating by yourself when your kids are napping.
  7. Have your arms empty, they will always, and I mean always, be filled with, laundry, books, miscellaneous toys, food, kid(s) or all of the above at once.
