... who brought all four kids to the dermatologist just to have her 6 year olds wart undergo beetle juice treatment. Well, my husband had to work and a babysitter is just that much more complicated to coordinate at 11am on a Thursday morning.
... that let my 5 year old have pasta and meatballs for breakfast (leftovers from last night). He just kept asking and honestly I really didn't care if he had them. I just wanted him to be quiet for 5 minutes.
... who took her kids to Jimmy Johns and brought her own bag of chips to share between all of them. It's just so much cheaper and I can't stand to spend a dollar for 6 chips.
... that told my son, after he had said my name 100 times in 10 minutes: "If you say my name one more time, you will be in time out for the rest of the day." Okay, so not my best parenting moment, but my head was about to explode from hearing Mooom, mom, moooom.
... who realized that her 6 month old had been wearing the same zip-up, footy pajama for the last two days, but still said what the hell-- whats's one more night.
Yes, I am that mom.

You're also an awesome mom! I told John that some days it feels like my head is in vice grips and slowly throughout the day it gets tighter and tighter with each "Mommy!" :)
ReplyDeleteMy kids eat leftovers for breakfast all the time. And, wear the same clothes for a few days in a row. And, hear empty threats from me. And, I've taken them all to the dr. for just one kid. Okay..so I think I've done all those things...so I'm THAT mom too!
ReplyDeleteHaha, Love it!
ReplyDeleteYou're a great mom. :)
You know you're one of the best! The worst is when they say MOOOOOMMMM, MOOOOMMM, MOMMMM, in the car because you can't send them away :)
ReplyDeleteNumber 7 daughter was having one of those "MommyMommyMommy" days and I told her that if she said mommy one more time I was going to change my name. After about 10 minutes of quiet she walked up to me and asked, "What are you going to change your name to?"
ReplyDeleteSharon
That's really funny! What did you change it to -- I need suggestions :).
DeleteOkay, so this is a really random comment with unsolicited medical advice from someone that you've never met before, BUT I have so much sympathy for your and your dermatologist visit. I have been there before. My six year old son has had a plethora of warts on his hands for the past two years. We've tried EVERYTHING to get rid of them (Imiquimod cream, high doses of oral Tagamet, squaric acid, anointing of the sick.) I've undergone cutting, freezing, and blistering warts myself, all of which made me feel like I was already in Hell, and I knew that I did NOT want my son to undergo that torture. I started looking around for more natural methods. We started with apple cider vinegar, which was the first thing that even made a dent in these puppies. After we reached a plateau there, I heard about doTERRA essential oils (I'm not a spokesperson for them, nor do I sell them.) I ordered the Oregano and the progress that it has made is astonishing, I'm not even kidding. At least four of them have disappeared in the past two weeks, and the others are much, much smaller. After having paid hundreds of dollars on medications and office visits, I wish that I had known about oregano oil sooner. Natural, cheaper, and it doesn't involve dragging the troops to the doctor office - a win, win, win in my book. God bless you!
ReplyDeleteKind of sorry for hopping over from Camp Patton, reading your blog, and taking the time to comment on a post (with one hand, while holding a baby), only to have the comment deleted.
ReplyDeleteValerie, I promise I didn't delete your comment! I don't know why it didn't show up! Thanks for taking the time to give me the advice about the essential oils (if you ever see this). I DO use essential oils and will be trying that like TODAY on his wart!
ReplyDeleteMy 14 month old has two pairs of footie pjs and they rotate. If he didn't pee through them or throw up on them, he wears them again. Pretty sure we are on day four or five now.... ;)
ReplyDeleteThat makes me feel a little bit better ;)!!
DeleteI just realized that I have been in the same clothes for 2 days...yoga pants and a T...pretty much the same as jammies:)
ReplyDeleteLol!! Haha! Yes, I have done that one too :).
DeleteI don't believe any of it Kristin!! :0) Then again are you saying that the above statements are not your best parenting moments because if so I am prob in big trouble and it's prob a good thing i only have 1 child!! Keep up the good work and keep making beautiful babies!!!
