Indie Mom Rants

Neglects of the Indie Mom

I have been super busy, and not in the jet-setting celebrity kind of way. In the oh-my-gosh-there-is-only- wine- and-pickles- in-my fridge kind of way. This got me thinking about all the ways my life has been compromised since this whole single mom thing happened. Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t change it for the world. The Queen and I are much much happier this way; however, it would be nice to actually eat 3 meals and not look at my DVR as a “to-do” list. So here are the things I have actually done in the last week that have become…well…pretty normal…

- Chewing my chipped up manicure off at night and feeling like I accomplished something for myself

- Eating a lunchable constituted a balanced breakfast

- Patting myself on the back when I wash my face at night

- Patting myself on the back even harder when The Queen actually gets a bath

- Changing jeans after only wearing them 3 times

- Actually remembering to take out the trash BEFORE my house smells like rotten go-gurt

Pretty meager existence right?! The thing is it all balances out with the absolutely wonderful time I get to spend with The Queen, VicDreamy, and my amazing friends. Time is so much more important to me than any clean pair of jeans. I’m thinking one of these days I’m going to figure this out. Ok, maybe I’m just delusional….where’s my wine??
