Keeping it Real
Mama’s Modus Operandi
Mama’s Panic
When you wake up in a sweat at 2:34 am and realize you’re out of clean uniforms for the kids.
Mama’s ‘I’ve-Had-It’
When you’re late for an appointment and the kids decide to put on their shoes in slow motion.
Mama’s Answer to Almost Everything
Have you tried going potty?
Mama’s Vocation
Deciding who started it, whose turn it is, whose share it is, who hit whom first.
Mama’s Hope
That we get through homework time without heads bitten off.
Mama’s Guilt
When you realize there’s absolutely no milk at home and breakfast will be cereal with water (again!)
Mama’s Time Out
When you hang out in the loo with a magazine/kindle/phone – without the kids banging on the door.
Mama’s Sick Day Quota
0
Mama’s Listening Skills
If it’s too quiet, then someone’s up to no good
Mama’s Worst Case Scenario
When your kid wants to pee NOW and the restroom is at the other end of the mall.
Mama’s Sacrifice
Letting the kids eat the last spoon of dessert.
Mama’s Fuel
Coffee, Chai, Margaritas at noon
Mama’s Favourite Moment
Goodnight kisses from the kids.
Mama’s Therapy
Extra-long showers.
Mama’s Morning Line Number 1
“Eat, eat, c’mon EAT!!”
Mama’s Morning Line Number 2
“You’re going to be late!”
Mama’s Prep before Outings
Making sure the whole family pees before heading out for the day.
Mama’s Ammunition
Hand sanitizer and wet wipes
Mama’s Perfect Vacation
Getting a full night’s sleep.
Mama’s Fear
That this stage is going to be over all too soon.
