Our Five Ring Circus: Mommy Mommy Mommy Mommy Mommy Mommy

Mommy Mommy Mommy Mommy Mommy Mommy

That about sums up my day.

The end.






Okay, so that isn't the end. It was a stressful day. I heard the words "Mommy" and the phrase "Mommy, can I...." more times than I could count. More than all the times those words have been uttered combined!

I'm tired and irritable, have a million things to do this week, and we're leaving for vacation on Saturday. We have plans every single day leading up to vacation, and I have to find time to pack and clean the house...because I have to return to a clean house! It's bad enough coming home from vacation...coming home to a messy house makes it so much worse!

They're overly excited about plans this week and going on vacation, and I'm overly stressed. It's not a good combination.

I finally reached the point where I couldn't hear the word "Mommy" anymore. I locked myself in the bathroom, and took a long shower.

Finally, there was silence.

That is, until I heard the words,"Mommy, can I come in to pee?"

Which was echoed by the other child.

The End.

    Is it mean that I totally laughed? Only because I am DEAF and I *still* know what that feels like! :)

    And you recall when my kiddo joined me while I thought I'd get a shower... and my fear of what exactly he resorted to when he had to pee...?

    Yeah - mommies can't catch a break sometimes, hee hee! Have a good vacation!

    I am totally with you on coming home to a dirty house after vacation! The week before the vacation I am such a grouch because I want to get so much done!!!

    When Kyndal was little, I remember telling her one time that it wasn't a law that she start every sentence and question with the word "mommy". One time I counted how many times she said it between her babysitter's house and ours (which was about 15 miles.) She said it 76 times. I used to tell her, at the end of the day, that my ears hurt.

    Now it's just "hey mom".

    Ugh. I so feel for you. I hope you can find some peace and quiet at some point within the next week.

    And I totally agree about having a clean house BEFORE you go on vacation!

    I'm sorry. I have been there myself a time or two before. It is funny how we can't wait for them to talk and then we just want them to be quiet! lol

    I hope you get everything you need done before your vacation!

    Sounds like a day out of my life with all of the Mommy. ;-)

    I always say Moms need a vacation from their vacation because they really are more work for us Mom!s

    Oh I've been there! I promise you though, when they start to get older, and they call you Mommy less (my son only calls me Mom now), you think back to those times and miss them (sort of!...lol)

    Hugs!
