Honest Answers to “What are you doing?”

As stay at home moms we get really good at tidying things up, including our recap of day-to-day occurrences to the point of flat out lying.  It’s time to come clean mamas! So here’s what I honestly did one day:

1. Washing that thing I just washed.
2. Explaining for the tenth time in the past hour that the kitty can go wherever he wants.
3. Folding that onesie I just folded.
4. Assembling a Dr. Browns bottle with one hand, and a finger up my nose that is not my own.
5. Apologizing for an injury he inflicted upon himself.
6. Crying into my cold coffee and uneaten breakfast
7. Quacking like a duck after I sneeze so he doesn’t have a meltdown.
8. Informing him that his feet are indeed stinky and re-smelling/reaffirming this knowledge.
9. Sucking pureed sweet potato off his sleeve and deeming the shirt clean enough for an ikea trip.
10. Thinking of new people and animals for “the wheels on the bus” and wondering about the countless health and safety violations I’m creating.
11. Thanking him for handing me a speck of dust.
12. Cursing Facebook memories for reminding that I used to go places and that I dared to complain about being tired or busy pre-motherhood.
