So first let me start by saying I am a huge supporter of washer's and dryer's, tide, and downy! Ya, ya, I am sooooooo trying to get a plug into them!!! Wink , wink, please send me free products!
Now if you are a parent you will understand the true plight of laundry. This is a selfless project that often goes with no recognition (unless they can't find their favorite jeans!). You see I am the busy mommy of four and due to the latest day spent in the laundry mat, I have come to the realization that the world of laundry is dark, lonely, and evil! One must sort, stain stick, separate, and then wash all dirty items, and if that doesn't get you excited you get to fold, iron, and put away all of these clothes too! Yippee!!!
I mean come on its not like I had anything better to do! It was sooooo what I as a teen aspired to do on my days off. You know I was like "Who wants to go to the spa? not me! I just want to do laundry, laundry and lots of it!" Who wouldn't??
And you know what I absolutely love, is that at the end of the fiasco in the laundry mat, I get to come home and load all the laundry up two flights of stairs!!!!! Now I know you are all jealous, and you really should be. I mean while y'all y'all have the ability to do laundry in your home, I have the sweet privilege to take the chore of laundry and turn it into a extreme sport!
I mean come on walk your clothes to your laundry room? Not me I have to lug my laundry down stairs, across ice, into a car that is soooooo not meant to be carting laundry baskets, and then as if that isn't challenging enough I like to up the anty with strangers looking at my unmentionables, and oh the joy of the pick up lines from the singles that frequent the joint like its a episode of the Love Connection!
Now I am not one to judge, but dude if you are watching me load 7 washers with small children's clothes, don't ask me on a date! Seriously! What in the free world could be seen as attractive????? Ewwwwww! I mean come on men, there are sweet single, non attached ladies out there. Don't think that just because you have had a dry spell that you need to go searching out the laundry mat for the single mommy's!
I mean really give yourselves some credit!
Not to mention, I don't know or speak for all the woman in the world but when I am in a tshirt, jeans, and uggs, with a ponytail, I am not really looking like all that so don't act like I am Mrs.America! Now is this a bit cynical? Ah yes, but what ever!
You see I am from the school of thought that if I am just honest, no matter what the topic its often appreciated. You see I have had it up to my booty with the whole touchy feely communication. I mean I don't want to be told how great I look, if the fact of the matter is that I may actually look like a meth addict! For example how many times do our loved ones tell us we are great, and then we come to discover this is not exactly the truth?
Oh no honey you look amazing with your jeans that are showing off your boxers! Or no no sweetheart I love how you show both your cleavage, and you belly ring, the other girls are just calling you a hoochy cause they are jealous!
So you see this is were my sometimes abrasive, but always sarcastic humor sooooo comes in handy. Like when my oldest daughter asked if she could please please wear a tiara to school. Now my instinct was that is social suicide! Now since I am the mommy and must well tip toe around the tulips I have to explain what I am thinking to my lil hershey kiss with love. So I just said to her " Well girli, here is the dealioso. If you have enough moxy to rock the tiara go for it. But just know there is no way I would or could do it! But heck if you feel good and think that you look good than you do it k?" Now thank the lord that I was blessed with the children I have. Because it was with this statement my 11 yr. old looked me in the eye's and said "Hey, I look good. I am going to rock this! ". And as it is often true to form she did, and is. She has a great tiara collection, and it is only on days she goes to the mountain that she doesn't sport her tiara.
So see take honesty with the understanding that it was given to you with great intentions, and don't assume that one is automatically trying to destroy you!
All in all the day was well full of crazy mommy do's but its just the way some days must be!
