Mother’s day

Time to reflect how i fare as a mother.
I know I am an awesome mom ( my kids say that). But I also know my flaws.

First in the list is my temper.
I walk holding an AK57 at all times. I shoot first and then think.
Often I end up apologizing to the kids after screaming at them.
I would have loved to be able to think before I act.
I do try
But it never worked..

Then in the list is my need to drive fast.
I never do it when the kids are in the car.
I know if anything happens to me, my kids will suffer and the sensible thing to do is to drive at the posted speed limit. But I just love the thrill of driving fast.

I am pedantic when it comes to cleaning the house. I do have my days when I let things go. But then I get in to this mood and drive everyone nuts, till my house is cleaned and things are kept back to where they belong.

If I like the book I am reading and want to finish it, I ignore the kids completely..including making their dinner. I ask them to make a sandwich or cook noodles.

I hate to play monopoly and try to weasel out with any possible excuse.
I am also extremely competitive and that means I love playng scrabble with the kids!!!

I am sarcastic to the core and it has now come to a point where my son would ask me to respond sans sarcasm!!

I am a procrastinator by birth and often forgets to pay the fees for various activities at the school and end up doing a last minute rush to the school.

I recycle every scrap of paper and often recycle the permission forms kids bring home to get my signature.

I expect an A for all school projects. My logic is that, a project is something you have full control of, enough time to do and if you do it well, you should get an A. Unlike a class test, where a lot of variables are involved. My kids never see the end of it if they did get a B !!

If the kids have to stay back home due to sickness, I force them to lay down on the bed all day and won’t let them watch telly or play games. Sickness equals to full rest. In other words, I bore them to death, so unless they are absolutely sick, they never want to stay back home.

I know I am a horrible mom. there I said it.

Happy mother’s day.
