I don’t know about you, but I am in the mood for funny stuff. I need to swear off all heavy topics for the day and just laugh for a bit. The boys give me plenty of reasons to laugh daily so I have much to share in their journals (I have missed writing about my boys)!
I know my title mighta scared ya but no worries :). According to Heidi, MADD is an acronym for Motherhood Attention Deficit Disorder. I have written about my fear that I have a form of ADD several times. Miss Heidi thought it would be funny to send me a definition of this disorder recently. She knew I would be able to relate LOL. The article explained how those inflicted with MADD spend their day’s spinning circles because many tasks are started and few are completed. These mothers are busy busy busy but at day’s end they have no idea what they actually did. As I read, I felt myself continually nodding “yep” – that’s me. Not today though…today I will be on top of my game.
A couple hours after enjoying her email I emailed Heidi the following:
Heidi – After reading your MADD email, I just realized that my first incident of the day started.
Tanner asked me to make his shake (chocolate milk). Okay. I go into the kitchen to make it. I think to call my mom while I am doing that. Also while I am standing there I decide to go ahead and make Ty’s bottle.
I leave the kitchen and hand Ty’s bottle to Tanner. Tanner said “Mommy look!” I asked “What Tanner?”. He points to the bottle in his hand. Oh. I go put the bottle in the fridge. I then remember my dad is coming over so I go to my bedroom to get my robe. Ty is awake. I get Ty up and put him in his swing. He needs his bottle. I go to the fridge and get his bottle. Give Ty the bottle and am on my way back into the bedroom when Tanner throws his elbow into the couch (in frustration) and say’s “Uuuuuuuuuggggghhhhhhh!” Again, I ask “WHAT Tanner?”
He say’s “Mommy I want my shake!”
I said, “I gave that to you already!”
He said “No! You gave me Ty’s bottle!”
Oh ya. Sorry. His shake is still on the counter.
So my dear Heidi Jo, does this description purchase me my MADD membership card? 🙂 🙂 🙂
One response to “MADD”
I’m so glad you shared this so that others can enjoy in the laughs too! I hope you get replies from other MADD mom’s willing to share their stories. We can laugh at (er, uh, I mean with) one another. 🙂
