Helpful Tips For Working Moms
September 24, 2009
Here are just a few helpful tips from one working mom:
If you happen to commute to work with your husband, it’s a good idea to make sure that he hasn’t taken your car keys and his car keys when he leaves for an early 7am meeting.
When attempting to reach said husband, it’s a good idea to make sure you are sending text messages to him and not to your friend (sorry about the early morning, slightly grumpy texts Jenny!)
While waiting to be rescued from your stranded position at home, you should probably insist that your toddler use his stool to go pee or else you’ll end up cleaning your entire bathroom (for the thirteenth time that week).
While attempting to keep urine off your bathroom ceiling, you probably shouldn’t assume the buckle on the changing table will actually restrain your 8-month-old because he’ll be crawling off of it any second.
It’s probably a good idea to wipe your urine soaked hands on something before rescuing said baby.
You’ll want to grab a burp cloth after you get the poopy diaper on the baby changed, because he’s going to start spitting up all over your floor, and if you’re not quick, he’s going to crawl through it and smell like baby vomit all day. You’ll also want to break out the carpet cleaner because yeah, he’s going to spit up there too.
When your husband finally arrives home, it’s probably a good idea to already have the kids in their shoes and coats and ready to walk out the door and not upstairs in a bedroom with toys everywhere, or he might be annoyed at you for making him leave in the middle of his meeting and then not being ready when he comes to return the keys he stole rescue you.
Just a few friendly tips from me to you so you don’t end up debating whether it would be better to crawl back into bed and wait for tomorrow or keep going because what else could possibly go wrong?
