I just wanted to clarify what I mean when I refer to “surviving motherhood”:
Toys aren’t part of a living room’s furnishings?
An undisturbed shower is a luxury or is reserved for after bed time
The weekends are crazier than the week days
The desire for a clean house turns into the reality of a livable home
You have anxiety attacks at the thought of cleaning out your car for fear of what you might find under the seats
Five loads of laundry a day isn’t normal?
You have more plastic dishes in your kitchen than any other kind
Macaroni and cheese becomes one of YOUR most common lunches
You can put your name down in the game of scategories as something that is sticky
Getting through a book becomes one of your new year resolutions, along with holding onto what sanity you have left
A quiet house scares you
Grocery shopping becomes your biggest outing and challenge of the week (God bless the bakery who gives each kid a cookie)
You might do the same things over every day but you never know what to expect
You do not even blink when you hear a blood curling screech
You are responsible for the hygiene of four people but are not left alone long enough to put your own deodorant on in peace
You make dinner from scratch only for it to be greeted with comments of dislike
You might be the chef but eating a hot dinner is a luxury
If you get a day to yourself at home all you want to do is clean (uninterrupted and without repeat) and have a nap
The frazzled hair look rather suits you or at least your feelings
10-pm to 6-am goes by in a blink of an eye but 4-pm to 7-pm can feel like a 20 hour marathon
Baths before dinner can sometimes be the reason there is a dinner at all
One year olds and five and seven year olds for that matter, do not care that you ARE DONE!!!
And just because the kids raise my heart rate for at least 30 minuets a day does not mean that I am in shape
