How much damage can a 3-year-old inflict? I have oranges embedded in my carpet, I stick to my kitchen floor even when I'm wearing shoes, I don't remember what colour our couch was when we bought it because even if I flip over the cushions to hide the latest stains, they undersides are just as dirty.

I could have written this myself and likely have in the past, only to quickly erase it for fear the world hear my actual thoughts on life as a mom. I'm going to pour my glass of wine and site and read it...again...laugh (when I say laugh, I mean secretly cry) until I stop. Cheers.

Not that I can't, but this is all (thankfully) in my past now... Anyway, this definitely qualifies as "it's funny 'cause it's true!" I think I’m going to send this one to my sister – she’ll relate.

Anyway, this definitely qualifies as “it’s funny ’cause it’s true!”

One boy is hard enough, but when you add another boy (like your second son, or my friend's son), boys just get kind of exponentially more active somehow. You are so funny!

I just read one post and you're now in my Google reader. Which is so much better than a mother of the year award! Good luck with the rest of the summer. Hysterical!

My Mom took my three brothers to the pyschologist as she was convinced they were perverted. They kept peeing on each other in the bathtub. She did not grow up with brothers. You will survive, sweet Caroline. This non-Mom still thinks you deserve an award for not having buried them in the backyard already.

I had three brothers growing up and knew what I'd be in for if I had more than one boy. My sister-in-law has 4 boys. She calls me crying sometimes. (She lives in Reno.) We share a glass of wine over the telephone and all is right with the world. (She said last week that school CANNOT start soon enough.) Cheers! This is why I stopped with one boy.

This is the best I can do. I can only dare to hope that if all of you other mothers drop out of the running, my mediocre mothering will win by default! Woo Hoo! I may have a shot!
