Flowers for a Foxy Mommie

Flowers For No Reason?

Probably not. But before you get all cynical on me I’m not implying it’s all bad. In fact, receiving flowers for no good reason is the best reason of all.

So why did I receive this lovely fragrant bouquet that perfumed the room for days?

I don’t know.

And it doesn’t matter. I can think of my own good, if somewhat imagined reasons.

Here they are in no particular order.

Because I’m a fox.
Because I rock Mommiedome.
Because If I wanted to I could keep my home spotless.
Because I don’t choose to keep my home spotless I am foxier.
Because I’m a fox.

Isn’t it more fun to just make them up? The next time you get flowers try it. If you don’t know when that’s ever going to happen, get them for yourself.

Then tell yourself you’re a fox and take the time to smell the roses.

Thanks for reading.

Pockets on the Inside are In

Mommie Moments

Have you ever gone to put your phone in your pocket and couldn’t and then couldn’t figure out why?

Then you realized that you put your pants on inside out! But, rather than put them on the right way you just put your phone in your pocket that is on the inside now.

Holy Dinah…you know you’re a bloody tired but suddenly inspired mommie when you think,

‘Hey! This is a good idea, wearing pants inside out.’

Do you have your own mommie moments you want to share?

Thanks for reading. I am looking forward to hearing from you!

Leaky Nose

Mommie Moments

At play gym the other day with Sam and his leaky nose. Far away from the stroller, where the tissues are.

Ugh..you know you’re a mom when you think,

‘I’ll just use the inside of my cardi to wipe his nose. It’ll dry up and no one will notice. But, still a bit disgusted with the whole scene, you justify it. “This is what moms do!’

A badge of honour, I say.

Maybe.

Tissue Fallout

Mommie Moments

I told my sister-in-law about Sam’s leaky nose and how I dealt with it on that day (see ‘Leaky Nose‘ blurb). Having raised 4 kids I thought for sure she had done the same. I thought wrong.

She was better prepared. Tissues stuffed up her sleeves and in every pocket was her game. So being the ever-present student that I am, I tried this. Once.

Have you ever opened the dryer and seen white bits of tissue everywhere?

Oh, I’ll never get it right, never! (me banging my head on a piano)

Just kidding. But tissue fallout is a b&*tch.
