Used Uterus Day

Seven years - that's how long I've been a mother. To me, it feels as if I've been one all my life. There was a time before it - and then there's now. That's it.

To tell you honestly, life is simpler. But that's what happens when you have a clear purpose for living and that is, doing everything to ensure little people don't die. My still-single girlfriends use me as a reminder not to go the raise-a-family route. You can't blame them - I mean, just look at me. My hair needs mowing, my Franken-jeans are appalling and my eyebrows are bushier than Donald Trump's!

But it's these moments that make me swell with joy (and beer might also have something to do with it):

The Communal Bone. We don't have dogs, so we let the boys clean their teeth with it. They've been working on it since Sunday night. In their defense, it was a fantastic rib eye steak.

Then there's the Fortune Cookie that came with Monday night's Chinese dumplings. Samu cracked it open and said, "Oh, yay! Coupons!"

My fortune says I should learn to read!
Should you be working on Mother's Day cards with the help of your mother? Well, who else knows how to spell "appreciate" - Daddy?

So the count down to Mother's day begins, because no one is exempt. We may not all be mothers but we certainly came from one. Besides, not matter how nice she is, she'll never, ever, ever let us forget that we occupied her uterus once...and left mess.

  2. Hey...thanks for the Mother's Day reminder, Namzola! My wife's birthday, our wedding anniversary and Mother's Day are three days I never, ever overlook.

    O yeah, bushy eyebrows are sort of cool.... Now hairy legs are another story.

  3. Good point. Noah just learned what a uterus is in the "class video" two days ago. I'm going to let him know how much he screwed mine up with his feet and head and stuff.

    1. That's what Mother's Day is all about - in my worthless opinion.

  4. Used uterus and you left a mess? I love you. I wish I could leave comments and funny for you as you leave for me. But I can't, thanks for being my friend anyway.

    Cheers to saggy mom's with bad hair!

    1. Actually, I could use Fortune coupons more than inane Asian-sounding advice!

  7. This scares me because I have terrible jeans and bushy eyebrows now- before children. How insane am I going to look after? lol

    1. You'll probably go the opposite route and become Ms. Fashionista with matching baby.
