When we embark on the journey of motherhood we have every intention to make every moment a magical memory for our kids. However, some of us are not that great at making magical moments. Some of us have misplaced our fairy dust and never feel like we are meeting our goals. As if that isn’t bad enough, enter other mommies, who seem to always be doing something over the top!

When I get up in the morning, I spend a few minutes skimming through the twitter just to see what’s happening. This is where I hear all the activities that other moms have planned for the day. Before I have even had my caffeine I’m reading about how clean their kitchen is, how many poo poo’s their little one has gone in the potty, what vegan-gluten-sugar free blah blah blah they are whipping up from scratch or what they have already planted and harvested from their backyard herb garden…an herb garden…really?

I also can’t stand love hearing about the newest novel that they have time to lounge on the couch and read while their children color quietly at their feet. Of course in my neck of the woods it takes me 3 weeks to finish a 300 page self help book. Every time I sit on the couch there is a small person whispering “booger” in my ear or saying “Look at me! You aren’t looooooookkkiiiiinng!” I often wonder how many times in a day I yell “get out of my room!” or “Holly! Get down!” Holly being the dog, who was also absent on the day god handed out ears and attention span.

Between kids, pets, a husband and keeping the house clean enough not to be on an episode of hoarders there is just no time to cook from scratch, make homemade cleansers or babyfood, grow my own salad, sew my own clothes, coupon to feed the homeless or make my own home décor from scraps I found at a yard sale.

We get it, you are a super mom but can you at least stay off twitter until I have had my caffeine so you don’t bum me out for the rest of the day! Otherwise, I hope you choke on your oregano…
