Parenting after a Loss

Motherhood should be more like Girl Scouts...

I'd like the Ineffectually Mopping the Kitchen Floor While Wearing Your Baby badge. What badge do you want?!

  • I'd like the "got laundry done and dinner made badge". Some days I'd settle for the "We both got dressed today" badge.

  • The Do It All In One Day Champion badge.

    Church, made lunch, napped, cleaned kitchen floor, food shopping, power walk with the family, made dinner, did the bills, folded the laundry...and ofc BFing DD... I'm currently in the tub...yes, with my phone bumping LOL, then watch Once Upon A Time soon while I play a game with DS since I promised him and as he lost video and iPad privileges due to being a PITA in church, he needs something positive to end the day. Oh, yeah, I still have to make my lunch for tmw.

    Daylight savings time sucks balls.

    I've earned the badge for taking care of a sick DH and teething LO, while still managing to do six loads of laundry, run errands, do the grocery shopping, and pump every two hours. No dinner though. Pizza's on it's way.

    Can I get the "creative picker upper" badge? I've gotten really good at picking up/moving things with my feet while holding one or both sleeping babies. Dropped a burp cloth? The remote? No prob...monkey toes to the rescue! No way in hell I'm putting this FINALLY quiet baby down.

    Gross.


    This made me laugh! I do the same thing, and it grossed DS out.

    I think our kiddos are in cahoots.

    I'll take a whiny teething toddler badge. We had a day this week that was legendary. I hate canine teeth the most so far.

    Oh and a bathtub poop badge. Because apparently in the tub is THE place to go. ::to my credit I've gotten good at seeing it coming and have been about to get him on the potty in time about 50 percent of the time. But that still leaves the other 50 percent...so, yeah::
