What Do You Want For Mother's Day?

So Mother’s Day is Sunday. (Cue panic for those who forgot. Send an e-card!) Tom isn’t here so we won’t be doing much. Still, I decided to make a list on what I hoped would happen to make Mother’s Day nice.


--Not having to deal with anyone’s poop. Yes, I still wipe Natalie’s butt. She wants to do it herself but she, erm, misses. And then I’m left with stained underwear. I refuse to keep stained underwear so into the trash it goes. Then I have to buy new underwear. So yes, I wipe her ass. She does the bend over bit well. (“Touch your toes!”) I also have to deal with the cat box. And reminding my son to SPRAY THE AIR FRESHENER when he’s taken a dump because holy crap (teehee!) he can clear out a room. So on Sunday, please, let me not have to deal with any type of feces.


--For my kids not to fight over ridiculous things like grass. No, seriously. They fought over GRASS before. Someone had tracked some into the carpet so I asked them to pick it up. Tommy said it was Natalie. Natalie said it was Tommy. It went on and on. OVER GRASS!


--No cooking. I’ll probably order pizza. I shouldn’t have to cook on Mother’s Day. It’s against the law or something.


--To not have to fold any laundry. It seems to be never ending. I’ll think I’m all caught up and them BAM. Wad of dirty clothes in the corner of their rooms.


--No Yo Gabba Gabba! Or Dora the Explorer. Or iCarly. I get some parents think these shows are cute. I do not. Dora repeats herself like a billion times and it’s like, “Dora, okay, stop talking about the stupid bridge and JUST GO OVER IT ALREADY!”


--To not have to clean up messes like these:

  1. lol, you're funny. Just found your blog and I think I'm going to bookmark it or subscribe or something so that I don't lose it. The picture - so your daughter likes shredded cheese? So does mine. We'll have tacos and when we're all done she wants some shredded cheese in a bowl. Happy Mother's Day!

  2. I want a cup of hot coffee. From someplace other than my kitchen. I'm hoping if I spell it out on a Post-it the night before I may get it. :)

  3. I am thinking I would like to have a nice quiet day of scrapbooking in my scraproom.

    TGIF!

  4. I would love not having to deal with poop as well. Between 2 dogs and a potty training kid, I feel like I am constantly cleaning up poop.

    I just want a few hours to myself. I want to sit and watch my bad tv without feeling guilty.

  6. Here's hoping you have a poop free Mothers day! I'm just hoping I get to sleep in, and do no laundry either!! But the only way that will happen is if I get it all done on Saturday! :)
    Happy Mother's Day!

  7. Have a Happy Mother's Day! We have a cat, but no litter box. She uses the toilet just like everyone else around here. I do have to flush for her, but that's loads easier than sifting for turds. ;-)

  9. For mother's day - I want my family to go do something fun - and leave me alone with some peace and quiet. You should hire a babysitter for the day and go see a movie :-)

  10. I am so with you on the dirty laundry! Every single time I think I'm done...my husband will throw some stray sock in there or something. UGH! Thanks for stopping by my blog -- I'm adding you to my Google Reader now :)

  13. Mine are three, two, and a month old, so "no poop" is probably too much to ask for. But if I could make it a day without food (especially shredded cheese!) all over the floor, I'd consider it a total win.

  14. I wanna be the one who picks what we watch on TV all day long. I want to not cook at all. In fact I want a fat t-bone for dinner. :) I want to make the Costco list and not have to go buy it all. :)

  15. Thanks for stopping by my blog! I actually saw it through Utterly Chaotic and think you have the best blog name EVER! If you or your husband have any MTI questions, let me know! We are on our third year of the tour.

  16. I just want a day with just the hubby, the baby, and the pups. I don't want any visitors and minimal text messages. Is that too much to ask for? I'll even wipe ass. :)

    Oh, the baby wants to suck her thumb. Every time I catch her doing it, I put the pacifier in her mouth and think of you.

  20. I'll confess...I click on the photo to make it bigger. Is she eating lettuce??? And you actually bought Yo Gabba Gabba dolls?? Love your couch, btw.

    Mother's Day. Thomas is leaving at 7am, so I get to be a Mom. Alone. All day. And all next week. Alone. The joys of being a military wife.......

  22. I am convinced that the laundry mates overnight! I finally manage to get it all done, folded, ironed and put away and BOOM! Next morning the hamper is full again :P

  23. Glad I found your blog, my 5 year old was just dx with Asperger's.

  25. For mothers day I just wanted to relax for the day. that didn't exactly happen, but it was still a good day. On another note, have you seen @goddamndora on twitter? it's pretty funny...

  26. having had to watch Dora 15,305 times with children I've nannied or babysat...I have to agree. It is on my "banned" list. I have determined that Dora is not the brightest child in the world. In the south we'd say "oh, bless her heart, she's just dumb"
