Some Days You Get the Bear, Some Days the Bear Gets You

So, let me give you a break down of what happened to me the other day.

1. I called my sister. I had my hands full so I opened the cell and put it on speaker phone. She didn't pick up so I left a quick chipper message. Closed the phone and stuck it in my pocket. Went back to normal Mom voice. Don't act like you don't know at I am talking about.

2. Found my two year old pouring old tea into last nights popcorn bucket and drinking out of it. So, I yelled and stopped him before he choked on old pocorn kernels. Ick.

3. Tried to take clothes out of dryer while aforementioned child tried to get in the dryer. Yelled a bit more about how kids are not meant to be in appliances. Maybe told him I was going to hang him up by his toes. Maybe.

4. Went by oldest son's room to see it still had not been picked up. Began a full fledged rant on how if he can pull the toys out he can put them back. Maybe threatened something about Santa not visiting if toys were not put away. It wasn't pretty.

5. Tried to make youngest son's bed. Silly child must be oblivious to Mom's mood because he kept trying to lay in the covers as I was trying to strip them. Pretty sure I had a full meltdown here. Hey, motherhood is not always pretty. I won't tell you all the gory details.

6. Just then I hear the phone in my pocket beep and say ...

"You have 5 seconds to finish message before time elapses."

Hmph. I forgot I had the phone on speaker. It doesn't hang up when you close it. ACK! Now my younger sister can always rest assured knowing that Motherhood is hard on us all. Even the cool "older" and more mature sister.
