It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

August 23, 2010 By 6 Comments

It’s  not Christmas, but it’s almost as good as Christmas for Mom. It’s back-to-school time. Now that the kids are once again inside the Hallowed Halls of Knowledge you can :

1. Go to the bathroom. Alone.

2. Stop eating your secret stash of chocolate in the laundry room.

3. Waste all morning on Facebook.

4. Organize your closets. Or not.

5. Actually get your heart rate up while working out, because you won’t have to stop every two minutes to get someone a cookie.

6. Have cake for lunch. (The reason why you need number five.)

7. Read a book. That doesn’t have pictures.

8. Make a phone call. Without having a three-way conversation.

9. Sit on the couch with a cup of coffee, and get reacquainted with the pleasant sound of silence.

10. (The only thing better than number 1.) Go grocery shopping without an entourage.

About Colleen Stout

Colleen spends her days wiping butts and pulling up pants as a stay-at-home mom to four year old David and three month old Wade. She and her husband Dave, who’s still putting up with her after 11 years, make their home in West Michigan. After graduating from college, Colleen worked as a journalist and a communications specialist. One day she realized she’d rather be at home making dinner than sitting in a cubicle listening to her boss talk about his Camero. Colleen packed up her desk, went home and had a baby. After getting her fill of Oprah and The View, she decided she needed something else to do besides watching daytime television. So she started her blog Mommie Daze where she writes about the funny, the sweet and just plain crazy moments of motherhood.

    I don’t have kids yet and plan to homeschool when I do, so this will never be me, but it WOULD totally be me if I were you. :)

    I especially like all the references to chocolate and chocolate eating, yummy!!
