Where's my motherhood crown?
Brian has been gone for almost 22 hours and he'll be back in almost 86 hours.
Not that I'm counting down or anything. But it is hard work being the only butt wiper in the family and the person who takes them potty in the middle of the night. We also had an unfortunate incident with a monster in Racecar's room at 3 a.m., he was not happy and I was not happy. I think my angered face scared the monster away. He never came back again.
Then, my darling children woke up at 7:19 a.m. on a day with no school. I will be punishing them severely by allowing them to watch ridiculous amounts of TV and allowing copious amounts of Wii and computer time just to stay out of my very frizzy, pony tailed hair. I'm stern like that.
So, we have a day of nothing today and I'm not too happy about that. I'd like to take a shower, and I will, I'd like to go to the store to get some fresh produce, and I won't, I'd like to go to the Old Navy and Gap outlet stores to see if they have maternity clothes, but I won't because, hello???? 15 degrees and dropping rapidly. It would be awesome if outlet malls could have domes for the winter. I would be all over that.
Well, the children have found me crouched in the closet trying to blog, so I guess I better feed them some breakfast and do some laundry. We are moments away from not having enough underwear and it's much too cold for that.
Beth's coming out of the closet with laptop in hand!
he he he
and I too would like to go to the outlet mall...Momma needs some new jeans, shoes, underwear...

O.K.
If it makes you feel any better, Jake woke up early, too...the TV has already been on for 3+ hours, I didn't feed them breakfast until 9:30 (because I was on the computer) and I have 3 or 4 days worth of clean laundry in small piles all over my bedroom...
...and I'm not even 18 weeks pregnant with twins!
Enjoy your day of nothing, friend!!

Oh, I bet you could wait until the temperature drops below zero to have underwear. Tell them it's bracing! It's good for you! The polar bears don't wear underwear, do they? What's your problem?!?

I went to the outlet mall a few weeks ago to those stores. I am picturing you squatted down in your closet under all the hanging clothes with your lap top...funny and very uncomfortable...

And the converse is going on here...my kids are in nothing BUT their underwear. Laundry is for whimps.

LoL...you're funny Beth!

Wow, LOL, you gotta love snow days!

Why are outlet malls outside?? I don't get it. I know malls started out that way, but gee whiz, snow or horrible humidity, like here in Florida, we need a/c or heat!

I love it! The things we moms do--I can sooo identify! p.s. good luck with the twins...how exciting (and daunting)

I just shuffle the same 3 piles of clean laundry around (you know, because I never put it away after I fold it) and it looks like I've done laundry. And underwear is overrated. (Ask me how I got pregnant.)

Does underwear have to be clean to keep you warm?
