The joys of being mom.

A little while back, I saw this video on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qehxjub5lyo

Its really funny, and clever and true...but it got me to thinking. This shows what its like for a single woman to take a shower...but what about the mothers out there?
Taking a shower when you have to take care of three kids by yourself requires more preparation than a musical production.
If I had more time, and a better camera, I would make my own video.
But alas, I'll just do it in written form.
So here it is. How to shower when you are a stay at home mother:

1. Throw on a movie that they wont get bored of in two minutes. Bribe them with cookies if they are good, and threaten them with certain death if they misbehave.
2. Make sure everything is clear, doors locked, and dog in his crate.
3. Run upstairs, stripping along the way. Throw clothes in the huge pile of laundry. Make failed promise that you'll get to it later.
3. Call downstairs to make sure everything is okay. Note: They will lie to you.
4. Turn on shower and jump in without waiting for the water to adjust.
5. Squeeze out cheap discount shampoo from an almost empty bottle and do your thing.
6. Do the same for the discount conditioner.
7.While you have soap in your eyes, your oldest one will come up and tattle-tale that his brother got into the cookies. Growl and tell him you'll deal with it later and he should go downstairs...or else.
8. Wash everywhere else.
9. If you are feeling brave, start to shave your Chewie legs. But then, while you're on the second one, you'll hear fighting and banging causing you to stop. Oh well, you didn't want to wear shorts today anyways.
10. Get out and dry as fast as you can and throw on your clothes.
11. Stomp down the stairs and demand answers as to why you can't have five minutes to yourself. Note: they will lie to you.
12. Realize that its either this, or waking up at five in the morning before they wake up to shower properly.

And there you have it. I'm a walking birth-control.

Confessions

(You know you haven't been to a site in ages when it takes you twenty minutes to remember your info to sign in...only to epic fail and having to reset everything. I was getting worried...I didn't want to make a new blog all together.....)

Oh my poor little blog...how I failed you. When we first started, I was so eager to write you, share the going-ons of my life. And now look at us. The last post I wrote was about the first snowfall. I wanted to write you. I swear. So many current events such as Britney going insane, Heath Ledger's tragic death. So many issues to rant about, like that poor boy who got killed for giving another boy a Valentine. So many happenings in my life, such as the birth of my third beautiful baby boy. Where was I??

*sigh*

I have to admit, I've been cheating on you. You see...my hubby downloaded this certain game for me one day...perhaps you heard about it...the Sims 2? Anyways, the game charmed me, whispered secrets in my ear and even lured me away from my other love...World of Warcraft. It started innocent enough...then I found out about the expansion packs, the new items to download, and found out that I can recolour things, use cheats to build exciting features, like an arc bridge!! How could I resist! Even now, I twitch to play.

I beg for your forgiveness, my cute little blog. I promise, I will post more often. I will put down the rants that go on in my head. I swear, I'll never stray from you again...

*sniffles*

ever yours, ever mine
