I listen to mom podcasts and read mom blogs. Cheesy mom thing to do at 6:00 am when the house is still quiet. Yesterday I was listening to a Manic Mommies podcast (on youth football). They mentioned that moms of girls are the happiest, moms of 1 boys and one girl are pretty happy, moms of two boys start to lost a little of the happiness, and moms of more than 2 boys-well they have gone off the deep end. I giggled when I heard that, probably because the last two books I have purchase have been "The Happiness Project" and "The Happiest Mom". Both I have started and neither have I finished. I haven't even made it past Chapter 2. Not because I don't want to be happier. I am trying to make it through "No More Meltdowns" to help with the numerous meltdowns that occur in a house of 3 boys, that would make my happier.
After all the fighting, double knotting, driving to sports practices, filling up water bottles, wiping the toilet seats, turning socks the right way, dodging basketballs in the living room-when they get too loud in the house, I can say "If you have a penis, go outside and play." And then I can breath and smile and everyone is happy!
Hee hee. I'm saving that one to use later on. I only have one but somedays it feels as if he is seven boys in one.
ReplyDeleteWell, this happy mom is a little less happy now that I am privy to one of the best lines ever... and will never be able to use it. Well, I could, but I'd only shed one husband and one dog.
ReplyDeleteGreat post.
