10 Reasons Why I'm A Horrible Mom:
1. I forget to pick up a kid at the gym daycare here and there.
2. I spend my free time facebooking instead of cleaning, bill-paying, laundry, meal planning, etc.
3. More often than not, I throw together dinner at about 5pm with whatever is in my freezer and/or pantry. If it comes from a box AND includes a vegetable, it's a bonus!
4. I don't read 20 minutes to my children every night like the PBS commercials tell you to (you're calling Child Protective Services right now, aren't you?)
5. I often make the older kids help the younger ones with homework so I don't have to.
6. I refuse to order school pictures. If I'm gonna pay $75, then I want a pictures that don't look like they were taken in the 70's.
7. I'm constantly searching for ways to get away from my youngins. Let's be honest... a trip to the store is so much more pleasant without them (can I get an "amen, sista"?).
8. I make my kids get me Diet Coke refills at fast food restaurants.
9. I sneak their Halloween candy without them knowing. I also throw away stuffed animals and other kid-junk while they are at school. How mean, huh?
10. I yell once in a while. Okay, sometimes. Alright already, often! There, I said it.
10 Reasons Why I'm a Great Mom:
1. I love my kids.
2. I love my kids.
3. I love my kids.
4. I love my kids.
5. I love my kids.
6. I love my kids.
7. I love my kids.
8. I love my kids.
9. I love my kids.
10. Oh, and did I say that I love, love, LOVE my kids!
So, I'm far from perfect (really, reeeaaally far), but I sure feel grateful for my kids and that I'm their mom! Here's to all [imperfect] moms everywhere. YOU ALL ROCK!!!
