Yep, I Am THAT Mom....

 

On Tuesday, I wasn't able to go volunteer in the boys' classroom. I forgot to email 1 of the teachers to let her know. Yep, I am THAT mom.

 

On Wednesday, we showed up to AWANAS not wearing pajamas........on pajama night. Yep, I am THAT mom.

 

On Wednesday, I told the 5 year old to not say mom again.  After he continued to say it at least 3 more times, I told him the word mom sounded like scratching a chalkboard. What can I say, it was late and it had been a long day. Yep, I am THAT mom.

 

I don't remember when, but one day this week I was the last parent to pick up my Kindergartner. Yep, I am THAT mom.

 

Last week, I noticed the 5 year old did not wear socks to school. I didn't notice til I picked him up....Yep, I am THAT mom.

 

I think the 3  year old went without underwear at least 3 days this week. Each time I didn't figure it out until the middle of the day. Each time I did nothing about it. Yep, I am THAT mom.

 

Yesterday, I let my kids watch and eat whatever they wanted for about 2  hours after school because I was "playing" on the computer. Yep, I am THAT mom.

 

Today, I got caught up talking to a woman at bible study. My child was the last one left in his room. Yep, I am THAT mom.

 

And all of that was just this week.....

For someone who is trying to focus on the little things, I sure miss a lot of details. Often my kids clothes don't match, they don't have socks or if they do they may not be a matching pair, sometimes they don't wear underwear, they always (well almost always) have their teeth brushed but the same is not always true for their hair, I forget sports practice times and sometimes important school events (thank God for the iphone calendar), and by the time I clean out my car you could practically live in it.

So Yep, I am THAT mom.

But you know what my kids are okay with that.

And I think I am finally too.
