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!!!

amen sista! Move over. I'm the queen of imperfect moms. You, however, are a great mom!
Too funny! I have seen you with your kids and you are a great mom. But a very entertaining post indeed.
Holy cow! It's a post from my sister-in-law. Crazy!!!! Great post! I'm right there with you on just about EVERYTHING!!! Can't wait for VEGAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ha ha funny post! You are way too hard on yourself. Forgetting your kids once in a while only makes them tuff. Why spend all day in the kitchen when they might not eat it anyway, If you are going to spend $75.00 on pictures call Courtney, they will NOT look like they were taken in the 70's! And isn't that why we have kids? So they can get fetch us our diet cokes & t.v. remotes? P.S. You are a GREAT mom : )
