So I must vent, some of you know I'm one of those very sit back kind of people until you get me going then hold back betsy I'm on fire! So for a while know I've been noticing the different moms that come and drop their kids off. I'd say around 10% smile and are nice, ok I'm in a hurry each morning also but I'm still pleasant and smile. So I must tell you the mom's I've come into contact so far.
Business Moms
Not unlike me, dressed nice for work (ok shhhs she's usually a thinner version of me, I'm going with the theory she hasn't had a baby recently. Oh wait ever it's my story). She will be the same one the walks in with an air of presence. Says good bye to her darling and then proceeds to leave the IN door. Ok this is a HUGE pet peeve, there are two doors mind you RIGHT next to each other! Both clearly marked in and out! But nope this woman will stand in the in door giving you a heavy sigh since you're coming in the IN door. Not only will she sigh but she will almost block the door since, hello you're in her way and she wouldn't even think of going out the OUT door! Sorry I ran into the mom AGAIN this morning, did I mention I was carrying 2 boxes of cupcakes and a bag of chocolate for the teacher! And the women not only partial blocked my entranced but had the nerve to huff and not even offer to help!
Yoga Moms
These moms flutter in to drop the kids off dressed for the gym and like me they don't always look like we frequent the gym. These moms are those moms you want to kick they are like the business moms except they may not work outside of the home. They are also typically door blockers. What is it ladies with the IN door, can't you figure it out?
Momzillas
The moms that even scary you a little. They are the business mom on steroids and you don't even want to mess with them. Sometimes you believe that kids are not really part of the plan but they will make it so they have everything they need except maybe for love. This ladies don't even wait for you to come in the IN door, nope they just push past you like your the fly on their windshield.
The Kitchen Sink Mom
These moms are the ones that are at EVERY event, EVERY field trip and are ALWAYS classroom moms. These moms amazing you and you wish you could be a little like them. But then again they are also the LEAD in all of these events and when you say something nope she tells you the RIGHT way to do it. Here I wrote about this type of mom a while ago
Life back to normal. Yup those moms that seem to have it all I swear must have breaks down, if Not I REALLY hate her ... LOL
Then us Regular MOMS
Yup us mom have it all together and make life look so easy ... NOT. Nope were the moms that are running morning, noon and night! We forget lunches and backpacks and have to run back home screaming and almost in tears thinking oh crap I'll be late once again. We don't know it all and have a freak outs, have to count to 10 several times (sometimes daily), we sometimes say words we shouldn't. and we're lucky some days to get clean underwear let alone a shower! Yup and darn it I'm proud to be this time of mom and YES I know the difference between In and OUT door!
Phew I know I'm a nut, it was just one of those mornings and I so had to share my random thoughts!
Well what I had intended for this post to be about that then lead me down this path is about sacrifice and having to make very hard decisions and sometimes falling on our sword. This last month has been a little tough, you know with the usual hard decisions. Rick and I had some real tough personal and financial decisions we had to make this last month. Don't get me wrong I love my life and family and a while back we decided that 2 kids is perfect for us. I love my kids and man do I bow down to you that have more, I really don't know how the heck you do it. I'm barely hanging onto the few marbles I have left with just the two and then add in the Exchange Student from ... well you know from where. Even though you make decisions doesn't make the reality any easier =D.
So back to where I had to go this week, a place I try to avoid with all my self control. As some of you know Cole is in a Christian school that is amazing and has been helping out so much. The bad things are that of course it cost money, my parents very nicely paid for his tuition for this year PreK. Now it's time to enroll for the new year which requires a new registration fee and yet more monthly fees. Well I've made a plan to work it out with Rick dropping him off and hopefully working with my schedule to pick him up early enough that he won't be in after care too long. Of course this will be $130 more a month on our end since I don't have my parents paying the tuition. But here it comes the thing I try to avoid at all cost, I had to ask my parents to borrow the money for the registration fee. Ugh yup I did it, I hate doing it! I love my parents but borrowing money is so not something you EVER want to do. They are not struggling and lending money is not hard on them but they are not the type to let you forget you borrowed money. I'm sure like with most parents everything comes with a price, even if you're paying it back you still had to ask for it in the beginning. So ladies that is where I'm at, ugh asked Dad Wednesday and I'm waiting to hear back how mom takes it ... ha-ha. You laugh but really this causes me heartburn and they won't let it down for YEARS!!! I feel like Lorelei Gilmore in Gilmore Girls, at least all she had to do was go to Friday Night Dinners. Mine will go on for a few years of gentle jabs at how they had to help me out! Ok I'm off to chew some more tums!
The inside of my card! Yup a little teary.
