Tonight I entertained some friends after a long day of babysitting another friends 2 children as well as watching my own. I don't know why this was such a task but I'm going to lean towards the whole being pregnant thing and not having a brain about me. Now, here is where mommy hood and entertainment collide.
Before kids: The house would be very clean, food would have been well thought out, and the table would be magnificent.
After babysitting with 1/2 hour prep and my little ones still in tow: I overlook an army man and parachute on the floor, I didn't run the vacuum, and I made chicken noodles two nights in a row with anticipation of guests. Shall I continue? Brace yourself because this is the part where I turn into every woman's nightmare. I wholeheartedly and in all seriousness forgot to brush my hair and put on makeup (I did shower earlier thank you very much). I served the meal on the kids plastic tablecloth due to an oversight of clean table linens, and I know I kept "messing" with my nose since the pregnancy has left it bloody for weeks. GROSS! I feel so incredibly unglamorous. I can't describe how unglamorous this day has been.
Please send this blog to all of your friends who are engaged or thinking about having children. It is your duty as a good human being to let them know what may or may not become of them. If anyone wants me for questions I will be scraping the peanut butter off of my ponytail.

LOL! Oh, sounds like someone could use a maid! Damn, if only it were that easy.
That was so funny. But ya know, sometimes guests love it when you can feel "just down home" at someones house. No frills, nor fuss. Just being with people you care about and have fun with.
did they pass you a tissue for your bloody nose??
I sooooo remember being a young mom. TUFF TASK.
