More Out of Monday with Madeline♥
I’m Madeline – a healthfully humorous, radically ridiculous, momentarily messy broad here to give you a flicker of joy on the (in most cases) most indignant day of the week.
Monday is like…
…a fog bank, it hides all the danger until it’s too late.
I’ve been in such a mothering mode…now what that means to you might be completely different from what it means to me. In my case it’s all about the attention to detail…knowing where they are, what they’re doing, who they’re with, what they’re playing with….and so on.
Today, I thought I’d do a little tribute to all of you super moms out there with this fun little list. Pay attention; you’re in there somewhere.
You Know You’re a Good Great Mom When…
1. Your teen tells you that she spilled a crock of cheese in the van, you tell her it’s OK even though you know her story is a crock of something else. Hint: Nacho cheese dip smells suspiciously like barf…I figured cleaning up her drunk friend’s puke was punishment enough. (We had words later).
2. Your toddler makes poopy in the potty. You both stand there afterwards and wave goodbye to Bob, Bill, Jeff, and John as they swirl down.
3. Your four-year-old daughter cuts her own hair, her sister’s hair, Barbie’s hair, the cat’s hair and, instead of punishing her, you start researching cosmetology schools.
4. Your son thinks the song “Pants On the Ground” should be in the top 40.
5. You don’t ever let your kids watch The Shining…accidentally or on purpose…not unless you want to go to the bathroom with them for the next seven years (OOPS).
6. You have a box filled with all of their passing fads, ie, Beanie Babies, Pokemon Cards, YuGioh Cards, Tele-Tubbies, Power Rangers, Bratz…just in case.
7. You don’t tell her that you look better in her jeans than she does. Shhhh…
8. You allow your son to spend 40-50 bucks on a new video game only to watch him beat it in one day…it’s a real self-esteem booster.
9. Your child receives a gift from someone visiting the Middle-East. The stuffed camel chants what you’re sure translates as ”kill the infadel”, but you let them have it because it teaches tolerance.
10. And for the grand finale…your husband wants a raunchy, sexy song and striptese to add a little spice to your love life, and the only tune in your head is Won’t You Be My Neighbor.
Love,
Madeline♥
