Misconceptions

Anyone who thinks being a (mostly) stay at home mommy who never stays at home, and is busier than she ever was when she worked full time but whatever, should try it. It can be very exciting.

Zero to sixty on the excitement scale and you don't even see it coming.

It starts.

Eating my cereal and researching home laminators. Don't mock. It's Wednesday. Researching home laminating products is what you do on Wednesdays.

Hmmm. It's a been a while since I checked out E-bay.

Holy Shmoly! My laminator! 17 bucks. 1 bid. 18 minutes left. Saaaaweeeeeeet!!!!

Crap, what's my password. Register, check e-mail, retrieve, and re-set password.

Bid.

11 minutes.

Scrunch, "More please." Refill of craisins and sippy cup.

8 minutes.

"I've got to potty."

"No. The pink potty."

Retrieve the pink potty.

Four minutes.

"Call mommy if you need help."

You've been outbid. Oh heeeell no! Not today chicka! I suddenly NEED that laminator!

"I need a book!" from the occupant of the pink potty.

Aaargh!

"Here's three books."

Two minutes.

Check on the occupant of the pink potty.

One minute.

"I pooping!!!!!"

Ten seconds.

Nine.

Eight.

Seven.

Six.

Five.

Four.

Three.

Two.

ONE and TOUCH DOWN Mommy!

Hi-fives all around. Pooped in the pink potty and I'll get my laminator in four to nine business days!

Shut up! You just made my night! I don't know who I'm more proud of though: you or the big girl on the pink potty! Let the laminating extravaganza begin!

Sounds like a Kodak moment. I can just see you jumping around like you personally scored the winning touchdown for the Superbowl while Kensley is reading on her potty, completely oblivious to you.
