This is what got me to thinking about all the moms with little kids ; all the moms that clean up after, cook, wash, bathe, run after and care for them with little or no breaks:
Saturday night, I was talking to a young single mom who has a very cute, adorable two year old. Wyatt is such a special little boy; so charming , bright and inquisitive, and MOST energetic. Now, Lora is always telling me about all the funny, often whacky things Wyatt says or does, but this particular story not only had me in stitches, but it made me think of just how awesome a job it is to raise and tend to young children, and how hard it must be on moms who must keep going even if they are sick, worn out, frazzled and or just wish they could somehow get a break now and then before they reach for the panic button.
Lora said she was so exhausted, just recovering from a nasty flu-like bug she had had that had lingered for weeks. She had been run ragged trying to snatch a few minutes of nap time (while Wyatt would nap); cleaning and entertaining Wyatt; and a hundred other things one needs to do in a household. She said she was on the phone trying to deal with getting a prescription whilst coughing and blowing; just feeling really miserable, when Wyatt came running to her and saying:
"Mom...ma......Mom...ma" and pulling at her hands and arms. Lora realized that he wanted her to come with him; to show her something. So she got off the phone and she was led down the hall to Wyatt's room. When she walked in.......she just about fell over. OMG! Noooooooooo!
Wyatt was so excited; pointing to what he had done; and soooooo seemingly proud of himself! He was very very proud of........of ........of......his......"artwork".
Somehow he had gotten hold of a big BLUE Crayon, and had literally scribbled all over every single wall and even the door!
Lora said he was so cute; so excited and smiling from ear to ear. But in her exhausted state she couldn't think of one single thing to say. She located what remained of the crayon; put it high upon the fridge, and went back to her other chores, and mused about not letting a two year old have crayons ever again. Later, she called her older sister, who came and took Wyatt for three days so she could get some badly needed rest and figure out how to clean those walls.
All MOMS out there with little ones; you must have similer stories ? You want to share, laugh, or just vent. Please do. Maybe you were up to your elbow's in the cookie dough or stuffing a turkey, or scrubbing the shower, etc, when a kid decides to dye the cat a bright pink or red, or his little sister's hair? Or, perhaps the night before your kid is to have school pictures taken he lost his front teeth, or decided to cut his own hair? Did you want to tear your own hair out; scream for help, while at the same time laughing your butt off? Let's hear them. * * * * * * *
Oh, and this is kinda, sorta a contest. MOM'S, Think of it like submitting your story to Reader's Digest, or Good HouseKeeping or Parents magazines or something like that. Whoever comes up with the funniest story will be declared the winner. As for the prize.....well, you'll just have to wait. It's a
GOOD'UN ! :D
*****UPDATE: I thought there would be many more stories from a lot of people, but even so, I think LADYLUCK'S would be hard to beat. Hilarious!****
