Basic Mom Week in Review - 07/17/16

5 Things That Actually Happened This Week and the Lessons I Learned

1. While we were making frosting, my 2-year-old started licking the fallen powdered sugar off the table.

Lesson: At least she didn't try to snort it.

2. My mom was looking through some of the books we were selling at our garage sale, and she found ultrasound pictures of my now 7-year-old tucked inside one of the books.

Lesson: Me = Mom of the Year since 2008 when I left my very first precious little baby's ultrasound pictures in a book I didn't even care that much about.

3. We went to a program at the library where one of the games involved standing in a circle holding hands and trying to get a hula hoop all the way around the circle without letting go. When the hula hoop got to my 2-year-old, she immediately let go of both her neighbors' hands.

Lesson: It's comforting to know that it's not just my rules that my 2-year-old ignores.

4. My 2-year-old decided she needed a drink from her water gun.

Lesson: This is possibly the most disturbing picture I have ever taken (and, as you probably know, I've taken lots of picture of poop).

5. My husband got a new pillow. He brought it home, took the cover off his old pillow and put it on his new pillow, then tossed the old pillow on the floor in front of our closet. It was still there three days later, so I sent him this:

Lesson: I am the queen of passive aggressive marriaging.
