If you happen to see us wandering aimlessly through a crowded mall and we have that glazed, hollow look in our eyes, don't worry! It probably just means we're experiencing big family anxiety. We try to live normal lives like everyone else, but the clues to our chaos are all too obvious. Here are some tell-tale signs that we're over our head with kids...
Nothing screams parenthood like:
- 100,000 Playmobile guys strewn all over the basement floor
- Living room décor a la Little Tikes plastic yellow, blue, and red
- Those annoying white, little kid stick-figure stickers on the rear window
- Shopping carts disguised as racecars, fire trucks, or school buses (mandatory, according to Gina, the 5-year-old)
- The hill in the front yard looks like a luge run
- Disgusting noises in the small toys section of the grocery store as the little girls find the whoopee cushions
- Half of the grocery budget spent on toilet paper, Band-aids, kleenex, and cheese...Oh, and don’t forget the chocolate for momma!
- Sleepless nights thinking, “how in the world are we going to put them all through college?"
- A calender that looks like a toddler went crazy with a Sharpie
- Mount St. Laundry
A Merry Christmas from all of us to all of you! God bless you this Christmas season.
